Wrongful DeathThere are few things as devastating as the loss of a loved one. While death is inevitable, life shouldn’t be cut tragically short because of someone else’s negligence. When someone is killed in a car accident, truck accident, or by another type of negligent action, surviving family members may feel lost and unsure what to do. At The McMillan Law Firm, we understand no amount of money can bring back your loved one, but we also know justice can help families in the grieving process and provide some financial security during this trying time.

Wrongful Death In Texas

The state of Texas has very specific rules regarding who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Parents, children, and spouses of the deceased can file wrongful death claims, while siblings and grandparents cannot. Children are allowed to file a lawsuit even if they are over the age of 18 and no longer legal dependents. If no family members file a wrongful death lawsuit within three months of the death, an executor of the deceased’s estate can file suit on behalf of the estate. Surviving family has two years from the date of their loved one’s passing to file suit.
