What is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death claims are legal actions brought by, usually, close family members if a relative’s death was caused by another person’s accidental or intentional act. According to Texas laws, a wrongful death occurs when:
An injury causes a person’s death or a fetus’s failure to be born alive
The injury is the result of another person’s or company’s “wrongful act, neglect carelessness, unskillfulness or default”
The injured person would have been entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit had they lived or been born alive
Notably, wrongful death claims are a form of justice for surviving family members. A wrongful death lawsuit allows survivors to pursue legal action on their loved one’s behalf.

What damages will a court award in a Texas Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
When determining the types of damages that will be awarded in a wrongful death suit, the court examines the state laws and will make a determination of who is eligible for certain award types. Typically wrongful death damages can be awarded to the following:

Spouses
A surviving spouse usually has a claim for lost companionship that resulted from the deceased’s death, as well as for the financial impact of their spouse’s death.

Children
Minor children may be awarded for the lost benefits of their relationship with the deceased parent. In addition to the financial damages available by the loss of a parent, minor children may also be awarded based on the loss of comfort and support.

Parents
Parents of a minor child who passed away may be able to recover damages for the emotional trauma and the lost relationship with the child; loss of financial support may also be possible, depending on the circumstances.

What Damages are Available?
In a successful Texas wrongful death case, compensation is awarded to the deceased person’s surviving spouse, children and parents for their losses stemming from the death. Potential damages available in a Texas wrongful death include the following:
Lost earning capacity
Lost care, maintenance, services, support, advice and counsel the deceased would have provided his or her surviving family members.
Mental pain and anguish experienced by the surviving family.
Lost love, companionship, comfort and society.
Lost inheritance, including what the deceased would likely have saved and left to surviving family members if he or she had lived.
