For the Family Left Behind

What a Wrongful Death Attorney Handles, and Who Can File

If you lost someone because another party was careless, a wrongful death claim is how your family holds them accountable, whether the death came from a wreck, an unsafe workplace, a defective product, or unsafe property. Here is what that means for you.

Who Can File

In Texas, the spouse, children, and parents of the person who died generally have the right. Louisiana follows its own order of eligible family members.

What Your Family Can Recover

Damages can include lost financial support, lost companionship, funeral and burial costs, and the pain your loved one endured.

The Survival Claim

A related claim can be brought on behalf of the estate for what your loved one went through before death.

You do not have to sort this out on your own. A wrongful death attorney can tell you who has the right to file and what your family can pursue.

Who is allowed to file a wrongful death claim?

It depends on the state and the family. Texas generally allows the spouse, children, and parents to file, while Louisiana follows its own order of eligible relatives. Phillip will explain who can bring your case.

What can a family recover?

Depending on the case, damages can include lost financial support, lost companionship and guidance, funeral and burial costs, and the pain the loved one suffered before death. Phillip will walk through what applies.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes, both states set time limits, and they can be shorter than families expect. It is worth calling early so nothing is lost to a deadline.

What does a wrongful death attorney cost?

Nothing upfront. The consultation is free and the case runs on contingency, so there is no fee unless Phillip wins or settles.
