Losing a loved one unexpectedly is an emotional tragedy. When that loss is due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct, the pain is often compounded by frustration, unanswered questions, and financial uncertainty. A Pasadena wrongful death lawyer at Williams Hart & Boundas can help your family pursue answers and accountability when it matters most.
We understand that no amount of money can replace what you have lost. However, seeking justice through a civil claim may be the only way to hold responsible parties accountable—and provide the financial support your family now needs. At Williams Hart & Boundas, our personal injury attorneys focus on high-value, complex litigation and have helped families across Texas secure meaningful outcomes in catastrophic cases.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas
State law allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit when someone dies due to another party’s wrongful act, negligence, carelessness, or unskillful action. These civil claims are separate from any criminal charges and are meant to compensate close relatives for their loss.
You may have a case if your loved one’s death resulted from:
- A serious industrial or workplace accident
- A trucking or commercial vehicle crash
- A defective product or pharmaceutical
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
The first step is identifying who can file. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased have the legal right to pursue a claim. If no action is taken within three months, the estate executor may file on behalf of the family.
One of our experienced wrongful death lawyers in Pasadena can review your circumstances and guide you through the process. At our firm, we are selective in the cases we take, ensuring every client receives the time, attention, and resources necessary to pursue the maximum result.
