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.

  • "He’s amazing, choose him."
    Will was the BEST choice that I could’ve made after my DWI. I was so scared, it was my first arrest and I felt extremely overwhelmed when it came to finding a lawyer. I met with large corporations thinking maybe with the resources they would be a better option. At the end of every conversation, I felt that Will had my best interest and was very honest. He is also a very friendly guy, I never felt judged, I was more of his friend. At the end of the day, all the warm feels are nice. But, he also got my case COMPLETELY dropped. No probation & no travel restrictions. He changed my life in a way that no Google review can capture. He’s amazing, choose him.

  • "Will Mitchell did an amazing job getting my case dismissed!"
    Will Mitchell did an amazing job getting my case dismissed! After failed attempts with several other top attorneys in Austin Will was able to fight for me to get my life back on track. I’m very thankful for his hard work and effort to do what others could not do. If you need an attorney to fight for you and get the job done Will Mitchell is the man. Don’t waste your time with others who will only take your money and not care what happens to you or your future. Thanks, Will.

  • "If needed, Will will be the first lawyer I contact to help me."
    I reached out to Will after finding his name through a Google search. I was not looking for DWI consultation but for unpaid tickets and a suspended license issue. He was very personable on the phone….he listened to me explain what I needed help on. He didn’t rush the call or make me feel like another dollar in his pocket. I was able to resolve my issues because of the information Will provided. If needed, Will will be the first lawyer I contact to help me with my driving issues because he was so helpful in this case.
