Which Family Members are Eligible to Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?
If you believe the death of your loved one was the result of another person or party’s negligence, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim in Texas.
Texas wrongful death law specifies that eligible family members include the deceased person’s:
- Spouse
- Children
- Parents
If none of these parties exist, or if they choose not to file a wrongful death claim within three years of their loved one’s death, the deceased’s estate administrator or personal representative may file a wrongful death claim instead.
The only time this is not true is if all the eligible surviving family members specifically request that the wrongful death lawsuit not be filed.
If you have questions about your eligibility to file a wrongful death claim in Texas, contact our trusted personal injury lawyers in Beaumont today to discuss your potential case during a free consultation.
Why Do Family Members File Wrongful Death Claims in Texas?
When Texas residents lose a family member to negligence — like a fatal crash caused by a drunk driver, a plant explosion, or a maritime accident, to name a few — they must first suffer through the tragic reality that this person is gone forever.
Sadly, this loss often results in another tragic realization that the family’s finances may suffer greatly as a result. Whether it is medical bills that were incurred before the individual died or funeral and burial expenses, the costs associated with his or her death are going to become apparent while the family is still grieving.
In addition, if the deceased family member was the primary earner, the family will suffer from significant financial losses, including their lost earning capacity and benefits. Worst of all, the family will lose the love, support, advice, care, maintenance, companionship, services, and counsel of their loved one offered. We want to help you regain your physical, emotional, and financial footing by holding the at-fault party liable for your family’s losses.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the person’s death. Contact our Beaumont personal injury firm for help today, and will speak directly with a wrongful death attorney, so you understand your legal rights and options right away. We will fight for each form of financial recovery you deserve through negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company or prepare your case with precision for trial. When you are ready to contact an accomplished wrongful death law firm in Beaumont, we are ready to hear your story.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
