Wrongful Death Claims Under Texas Law
Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 71, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of a person killed by another's negligence may bring a wrongful death claim. Damages can include lost earning capacity, lost care and companionship, mental anguish, and — in some cases — punitive damages against grossly negligent defendants.
These cases most often arise from 18-wheeler crashes, drunk-driving collisions, defective products, workplace fatalities, and medical negligence. Calderon Legal Group handles every case with discretion, files preservation letters immediately, and does not require the family to talk to insurance companies.
Every consultation is confidential and free. Bilingual (English/Spanish) intake is available 24/7. Call or text 832-261-5500.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?
Under Texas CPRC Chapter 71, the surviving spouse, children, and parents may bring the claim. If none of them file within 3 months, the estate's personal representative may. Siblings generally cannot.
What is the deadline for a Texas wrongful death lawsuit?
Two years from the date of death under Texas CPRC §16.003(b). Claims against governmental entities can have much shorter notice deadlines — sometimes 90 days.
What damages can a Texas wrongful death family recover?
Lost earning capacity, lost care/maintenance/services/support/advice, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and — in cases of gross negligence — exemplary (punitive) damages. The estate can separately bring a survival action for the decedent's pre-death pain and suffering and medical bills.
Do I have to go to court?
Most wrongful death cases resolve through settlement. If trial is necessary, we prepare every case as if it will be tried and only settle at full value.
How much does a wrongful death attorney cost?
Nothing upfront. Contingency only — you pay only if we recover for your family.
