How Texas Defines Wrongful Death

According to Texas law, your loved one demise is deemed a wrongful death if it was caused by negligence, recklessness, carelessness, or unskillfulness. If one of these factors was the cause, our legal team will help you build a strong evidence file that identifies the negligent party and defines their actions.   

Proving the Negligence That Led to Your Family’s Loss

Preparing your wrongful death case means proving the at-fault party owed your loved one a duty of care, failed to provide it, caused their demise, and caused your family’s financial consequences. 

We establish negligence with the following evidence:

  • Relevant accident and incident reports
  • A death certificate and autopsy results 
  • Lay and expert witness statements
  • Supporting photos and videos 

Let us handle evidence collection for your family. We will compile and organize your evidence and prepare it for the negotiation or court process. Our entire team will stand by your family’s side from start to finish.
