Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful deaths can transpire in a variety of circumstances, and each case is unique. Common instances of situations that can lead to wrongful death claims in Texas can include:

  • Car Accidents: Negligent driving, drunk driving, distracted driving, and other types of reckless behavior can result in fatal accidents.
  • Medical Malpractice: Errors made by medical professionals, hospitals, or healthcare facilities that result in a patient's death.
  • Workplace Accidents: Fatal accidents that occur as a result of unsafe working conditions, lack of proper training, or equipment failures.
  • Product Liability: Defective or dangerous products that can cause fatal injuries due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings.
  • Premises Liability: Fatal accidents that occur on someone else's property due to inadequate maintenance, hazardous conditions, or lack of proper safety measures.
  • Criminal Acts: Homicides that result from criminal actions, such as assault, murder, or manslaughter.
  • Construction Accidents: Fatal accidents that occur on construction sites due to negligence, lack of safety protocols, or defective equipment.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

Texas has a statute of limitations that specifies the time limit within which wrongful death claims have to be filed. This time frame is crucial, as failing to file a claim within the prescribed period may result in the forfeiture of your right to seek compensation. The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Texas is generally two years from the date of the deceased person's death. However, there are certain exceptions and circumstances that can impact this timeline.

It's important to act promptly if you believe you have a valid wrongful death claim. Our Austin wrongful death attorney can help you navigate the legal intricacies, gather evidence, and build a strong case within the given time frame.

  • "I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him."
    After being arrested for DWI, it is easy to feel lost, scared, confused, and unsure of where to turn for help. Luckily, I was recommended the legal services of Will Mitchell. From the initial consultation until my final court appearance, Will was there for me throughout the entire process. In a very frightening time, Will was able to put me at ease and guide me through a difficult situation. Due to his expertise and dedication, he was able to lessen my charge to a much more favorable outcome. I had multiple consultations before I was directed towards Will, and they all resulted in frustration, fear, and intimidation. I, like many Austin residents, work in the Service Industry, and was not financially able to afford much more than a public defender. His services are invaluable, but reached at a reasonable, flexible rate. I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him.

He got my felony dropped, that says it all. Thank you Will for being there for me physically, mentally, and emotionally!
