Wrongful death is a preventable death that results from another person or company’s negligence. A wrongful death claim is a type of personal injury claim. Family member’s file wrongful death claims on behalf of their loved ones.
There are various reasons families file wrongful death claims. Families may pursue a wrongful death claim to gain a sense of closure after their loved one’s death or hold a person or company responsible for negligence or wrongdoing.
To file a wrongful death claim in any state, an individual must have “standing” to do so under the law. In Texas, the following people may file a wrongful death claim:
The spouse of the deceased;
Children of the deceased; and

Texas does not allow siblings, grandparents, or distant relations to file a Texas wrongful death claim. Adopted children and their parents may file on behalf of one another. Some states are more lenient in who they permit to file a wrongful death claim.
