The apartment complex and the security company had a duty to ensure that the people they employed and the property they managed would not put residents in danger. When that duty is breached and a child loses their life, the law provides a path for families to seek accountability.
In the immediate aftermath of a tragedy this severe, families are overwhelmed with grief while simultaneously facing pressure from insurance companies, property management representatives, and employers who have legal teams working quickly to protect their own interests. Connecting with an attorney through HurtMatch costs nothing unless you win, and it means someone is looking out for your family's rights from the very first conversation.
Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, the surviving parents of a child who was killed due to another party's negligence may bring a wrongful death claim. An attorney can review your specific circumstances and explain who qualifies to file in your case.
Texas premises liability law can hold property owners and managers responsible for harm that occurs on their property, particularly if they knew or should have known about dangerous conditions or the conduct of people they allowed to operate on the premises. An attorney can evaluate whether the complex may share liability.
Texas law recognizes claims of negligent hiring, negligent retention, and vicarious liability against employers when an employee's actions cause harm. If the security company failed to properly screen, train, or supervise the guard involved, they may face civil liability. An attorney can assess the facts of the specific case.
In most wrongful death cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of death. Missing this deadline can permanently bar a family from seeking civil recovery, which is why it is important to speak with an attorney as early as possible.
