Losing a loved one in a truck accident is devastating. In the middle of that grief, you shouldn't have to fight a corporation and its insurance company alone. We handle everything — the investigation, the litigation, the negotiation — so your family can focus on healing while we fight for the justice and financial security you deserve.
Under Texas wrongful death law, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of someone killed in a truck accident have the right to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible parties. These claims are separate from any criminal charges and pursue civil compensation for your family's losses.
The estate of the deceased may also file a survival action to recover damages the victim could have claimed had they survived — including pre-death pain and suffering, medical expenses incurred before death, and lost earnings.
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §71.004 allows the surviving spouse, children (including adult children), and parents of the deceased to file a wrongful death claim. Siblings and other relatives generally cannot file unless the eligible parties do not act within 3 months.
Texas requires wrongful death claims to be filed within 2 years of the date of death. We urge families to contact us as soon as possible — evidence preservation is critical in truck accident cases, and delays can cost you the ability to recover full compensation.
