What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In essence, a wrongful death claim is a personal injury claim that the victim cannot file on his or her own behalf. These lawsuits are intended to help surviving family members recover compensation for lost companionship, lost income, funeral costs, and other damages. 

In Texas, you can file a wrongful death claim if someone else’s “wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default” caused your loved one’s passing. Contact our Houston office if you believe you may have a claim.

    What Are the Causes of Wrongful Deaths?

    There are many incidents that can cause a wrongful death to occur. The below is not an exhaustive list:

    • Car accidents
    • Motorcycle accidents
    • Truck accidents
    • Medication errors
    • Surgical errors
    • Medical malpractice
    • Dangerous drugs
    • Defective products

    The liable party can also vary, depending on the cause of death. A motorist may be at fault for a fatal crash; a surgeon may be at fault for a mismanaged surgery; and a manufacturer may be at fault for a defective product that proves fatal.

    Why Hire Morgan & Morgan?

    Although nothing can erase the anguish of losing someone you love, our attorneys may be able to help you achieve some peace of mind in holding the liable party accountable.
