Texas Wrongful Death Claims, Explained

Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may bring a claim against the at-fault party. A separate survival action allows the estate to recover for the pain, medical bills, and funeral expenses the deceased incurred before passing. A Corpus Christi wrongful death lawyer handles both.

Cases We Handle for Coastal Bend Families

Fatal car and 18-wheeler crashes on I-37, US 77, and SPID; oilfield and refinery deaths in the Eagle Ford and along the Corpus Christi ship channel; drunk-driving fatalities; commercial trucking wrecks; fatal motorcycle accidents; and deaths caused by dangerous property conditions throughout Nueces, San Patricio, Aransas, and Kleberg counties.

Compensation and Justice for Your Family

No amount of money replaces a loved one — but a wrongful death recovery secures your family's financial future and forces accountability. Our Corpus Christi wrongful death attorneys pursue lost earnings, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and, in cases of gross negligence, exemplary (punitive) damages.

Compensation You May Recover

Lost financial support
Lost household services
Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of companionship and consortium
Mental anguish and grief
Loss of inheritance
Medical bills before death
Exemplary damages for gross negligence
