Texas has two statutes that allow loved ones to file wrongful death actions. Under the Texas Survival Statute, loved ones may file a lawsuit as a personal injury action. An heir, estate representative or other legal representative has the legal right to file a lawsuit under this statute. The statute essentially allows for a claim to “live” past the lifetime of the deceased loved one, this enables individuals to collect damages in the form of funeral expenses, lost wages, and medical bills.

If an individual’s death was caused by a defective product, then you will have an additional two years in which to pursue a wrongful death claim. For a claim that involves a minor child, the time period is extended until the day in which the child becomes an adult.
