What Makes a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim in Texas arises when someone dies because another person acted carelessly—or worse. It’s a legal path for families to seek answers, help with costs, and accountability. In Texas, spouses, children, or parents usually file the claim. If they don’t act within three months, the estate’s executor may step in.

The Clock Is Ticking

What You Might Recover

Every case has its own story. Joe’s team digs into the facts to build a fair valuation.
