What Ellis County Families Should Know About Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death claim in Texas can be filed by the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. It compensates those family members for their own losses resulting from the death, including lost financial support, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. Separately, the estate may bring a survival action for losses the deceased experienced before dying, including pre-death pain and suffering and medical bills.

Both claims can be pursued at the same time. Both have deadlines. Both require an investigation into the cause of death and the identity of every responsible party. The Injury Avengers handle every aspect of that process for Ellis County families so the legal side of this situation does not add to what your family is already carrying.

Wrongful deaths in Midlothian most often arise from crashes on US-287 and US-67, industrial accidents at the area's cement and steel facilities, and premises incidents at local commercial properties. Each of those scenarios involves different liability rules and potentially different defendants. We identify the right theory and the right targets from the start.

Filing Deadline for Midlothian Wrongful Death Cases

Texas law gives surviving family members two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Sec. 16.003). When the death involved a government entity or municipally owned property, formal notice may be required far earlier than that deadline. Texas law generally requires notice no later than six months in those situations, and some governmental units impose shorter windows. Depending on where the death occurred, which defendants are involved, and the facts that determine proper venue, a Midlothian wrongful death case may be filed in Ellis County or another county with jurisdiction over the claim. An attorney should review every potential claim before any of those earlier deadlines pass.
