Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Texas Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Liability depends on how the death occurred. In Galena Park and across Texas, those who may be held accountable include:

Your Legal Rights After a Wrongful Death in Texas

Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 71.002), certain family members, such as a spouse, child, or parent, can file a claim when a loved one’s death is caused by negligence or misconduct.

If family members don’t act within three months, the estate’s executor may file unless the family requests otherwise. Texas also allows survival claims, which cover the pain and damages the deceased suffered before passing. These laws are designed to ensure families get both justice and financial support.

Parents of the deceased

An executor or personal representative (if the immediate family doesn’t act within 3 months)

How Long Do Families in Galena Park Have to File?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is two years from the date of death (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003). Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation — no matter how strong your case may be.
