A wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence or recklessness of another person or party.

It can include the actions or inactions of others.

Many common accidents include:

• car accidents,
• medical malpractice,
• workplace accidents,
• and defective parts.

Wrongful death lawsuits have a statute of limitations of two years – meaning that families only have two years from the date of passing to file a claim.

The Texas Wrongful Death Act includes a thorough guideline of all the laws regarding these accidents.
