Recoverable Damages in a Wrongful Death Case in Texas
Because of your loss, you have suffered personal, emotional, and financial consequences. These are called “damages.” As your attorneys, we can pursue compensation for these losses. Here are some common wrongful death damages in Texas:
- Lost financial support
- Loss of your loved one’s care, support, and guidance
- Loss or a close, loving relationship
- Pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members
- Lost inheritance
To get an idea of everything you’ve lost, we will gather evidence of your lost loved one’s earnings and how they provided for your family, such as pay stubs and W2s. Then, our team will talk with you to fully understand the ways your loved one contributed to and improved your life, so we can demand compensation for your personal and emotional losses.

The Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Cases in Texas
Unfortunately, you don’t have an unlimited amount of time to file. In Texas, per the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you have two years from their passing. To some, two years seems like a long time; however, your attorneys will need as much time as possible to build your case, navigate legal hurdles, and explore possible avenues for your compensation before this deadline expires.
Some exceptions to this deadline may shorten this two-year period. If this time period passes, you may forever lose your right to pursue the compensation you are owed. Our team would be happy to monitor and meet your deadlines on your behalf.
