What is a wrongful death lawsuit?

In Texas, the immediate family of an individual who was killed due to some form of negligent or careless action by others may bring a lawsuit in civil court seeking financial compensation from the at-fault party. This type of legal action is known as a wrongful death lawsuit. A wrongful death lawsuit demands monetary compensation for the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s misconduct.

At Herrman & Herrman, our compassionate attorneys understand that no amount of money is adequate compensation for the loss of a loved one. But you should not have to endure financial hardship or medical debt because someone else’s carelessness or inattention took the life of your loved one. A wrongful death claim can provide monetary compensation to cover medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income, and pain and suffering after an accident.
