When negligence takes someone you love, you deserve a fierce attorney on your side — and we'll connect you with one in minutes.
Losing a family member because of someone else's carelessness is devastating. You're grieving. You're overwhelmed. And you're suddenly facing funeral costs, lost income, and a future that looks nothing like it should.
Insurance companies move fast — and not in your favor. They have lawyers working right now to minimize what they owe you. You need someone in your corner just as quickly. Don't face this alone.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally 2 years from the date of your loved one's death. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to take legal action entirely. Don't wait — contact us today.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case. There are no out-of-pocket costs to get started.
Every case is different. Some settle in a matter of months; others take a year or more if they go to trial. Your matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specific facts of your case.
First, take care of your family. Then, preserve any evidence you can — photos, documents, witness names, police or incident reports. Avoid signing anything from an insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Get matched now so a lawyer can guide your next steps.
Under Texas law, a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may bring a wrongful death claim. If none of them file within 3 months, the executor of the estate may file on the family's behalf. An attorney can confirm who qualifies in your specific situation.
In Houston, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
