Wrongful death attorney
Wrongful death attorney
standing with grieving Texas families.
No case is heavier than this one. When a preventable accident takes someone you love, no lawsuit brings them back. What a claim can do is hold the responsible party accountable and protect your family's future. We handle these cases with the care they demand.
What you're dealing with.
A wrongful death claim exists for one reason: when someone's negligence or misconduct causes a death, the family left behind shouldn't also carry the financial weight of that loss. In Texas, certain family members — a spouse, children, and parents — may bring a claim.
We approach these cases differently than any other. There's no rushing a grieving family. We move at a pace that respects what you're going through, while quietly doing the urgent work — preserving evidence and building the case — so that when you're ready, your family's rights are fully protected.
What to do next.
If you're reading this from a hospital bed, your phone, or somewhere worse — you're already doing the most important thing: looking for help. Here's the rest.
Preserve what you can
If you're able, keep documents, photos, and information about what happened. If not, we can help reconstruct it later.
Be cautious with insurers
Insurance companies may reach out quickly. You don't have to speak with them. Let us shield you from that.

Why it matters who represents you.
We handle these with care
This is not a transaction to us. We move with patience and respect, and we take the legal burden off your family's shoulders entirely.
We pursue both types of claim
Texas allows a wrongful death claim for the family's losses and a survival claim for what your loved one endured. We pursue every avenue the law allows.
We protect your family's future
Lost income, lost support, lost companionship. We build a claim that reflects the true weight of the loss and helps secure your family's stability.
In their words.
“Johnny treated our family with respect during the hardest time of our lives. He handled everything so we could grieve.”
Questions, answered.
Who is allowed to file a wrongful death claim in Texas?
Texas law generally limits wrongful death claims to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the person who died. These family members can file individually or together. (Attorney to advise on your family's specific situation.)
What's the difference between a wrongful death and a survival claim?
A wrongful death claim compensates the family for their losses — lost financial support, companionship, and more. A survival claim is brought on behalf of the estate for what your loved one experienced before passing, such as medical expenses and conscious pain. Both may apply.
How long do we have to file?
Wrongful death claims in Texas generally must be filed within two years, though certain circumstances can change that. We understand that legal deadlines feel impossible to think about while grieving — that's part of why we handle the urgency for you. (Attorney to verify your deadline.)
We're not ready to think about a lawsuit. Is that a problem?
No. There is no pressure. When you call, we'll listen, answer your questions, and quietly begin protecting your family's rights — including preserving time-sensitive evidence — without rushing you through your grief.
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a no win, no fee basis. Our fee comes only from a recovery, and if there is none, your family owes us nothing.
