Types Of Catastrophic Injury And Wrongful Death Cases
When you are suffering from a life-altering serious accident injury or you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal accident, it can turn your world upside down. Some of the common accidents that can lead to serious injury or death include:
- Motor vehicle accidents: High-speed car collisions can result in life-altering injuries or fatalities. The serious impact of a truck accident can lead to serious injuries, as can accidents involving motorcycles.
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents: When a cyclist or pedestrian is hit by a car or truck, the injuries can be life-threatening.
- Workplace accidents: Certain industries provide dangerous working environments. For example, construction sites often see severe harm due to falls or equipment malfunctions.
- Medical malpractice: Medical mistakes during surgery or misdiagnosis can lead to significant injuries or even death.
- Defective products: Faulty machinery or unsafe pharmaceuticals can cause catastrophic harm.
In the most tragic fatal accident cases, these accidents can lead to wrongful death, leaving families to cope with the emotional and financial aftermath.
Who Can File A Wrongful Death Action In Texas?
In Texas, the law allows certain individuals to file a wrongful death action when a loved one dies due to another’s negligence or wrongful act. Wrongful death actions can be filed by the deceased person’s:
- Spouse
- Child
- Parent
Texas law prioritizes these relationships to ensure that those most affected by the loss can seek justice and compensation. If none of these individuals initiate a claim within three months of the death, the personal representative or executor of the deceased’s estate may file a wrongful death action unless requested otherwise by the surviving family.
What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Wrongful Death In Texas?
It’s important to act promptly, as the statute of limitations in Texas generally requires you to file a wrongful death lawsuit within two years from the date of death. Taking legal action can help you hold the responsible parties accountable and secure financial support during a difficult time.
