FAQ - Wrongful Death
How is a wrongful death case different from a criminal case?
This is a civil case—we’re pursuing financial accountability, not jail time.
Who can file the claim in Texas?
Spouses, children, and parents are eligible. If they don’t file within three months, the estate may do so.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Typically two years, though some exceptions may apply.
What if there’s also a criminal investigation?
You can still pursue a civil claim, regardless of what happens in the criminal case.
What if the person who caused the death has no money?
We look for insurance policies or other ways to pursue compensation.
