Wrongful Death
Justice and financial security for grieving North Texas families
When someone dies because of another person's or company's negligence, their family is left with grief, financial uncertainty, and unanswered questions. A wrongful death claim cannot bring your loved one back. But it can hold the responsible party accountable and provide the financial stability your family needs going forward.
North Texas families face these losses every day, from fatal crashes on I-20, I-35W, and I-30, to construction and industrial deaths, dangerous property conditions, and workplace incidents. Each situation involves different defendants, different evidence, and different legal theories. The Injury Avengers investigate every angle from the start so nothing is missed and no responsible party escapes accountability.
Surviving spouses, children, and parents may have the right to file. Call us at 817-221-8888 for a confidential, no-obligation consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?
In Texas, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may bring a wrongful death claim. If none of them files within three months after the death, the executor or administrator of the estate may file the claim unless all eligible beneficiaries request that no action be brought. We help families sort out those issues early so the right claims are filed the right way.
What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action?
A wrongful death claim compensates the surviving family members for their own losses resulting from the death. A survival action preserves the personal injury claim the deceased could have brought if they had lived, which may include pre-death pain and suffering and other damages depending on the facts. Both can often be pursued together, and coordinating them correctly affects total recovery.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas?
Texas allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Evidence disappears and witnesses become unavailable quickly, so early investigation is critical. Contact a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
