Do I Have a Wrongful Death Claim in Buda?

In Texas, “wrongful death” means the loss of a human life due to someone else’s “wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default” (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.002). If another person or party failed to act with the proper amount of care and someone died as a result, the deceased victim’s surviving loved ones may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit in Buda.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Buda

A wrongful death claim is a legal action that can arise as a result of death under circumstances that point to neglect or intent to harm by someone else. Examples include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents 
  • Truck accidents 
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents 
  • Catastrophic falls 
  • Workplace incidents 
  • Construction accidents
  • Defective products
  • Dog attacks
  • Violent crimes

Our attorneys can help your family gather evidence to prove your wrongful death case, such as medical records, incident reports, photographs and videos, witness statements, and testimony from qualified experts.

What Is the Statute of Limitations?

According to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, “A person must bring suit not later than two years after the day the cause of action accrues in an action for injury resulting in death.  The cause of action accrues on the death of the injured person.”Under this law, your family has no more than two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death claim in Buda. If you need to file against a government agency, however, expect a much shorter deadline. Contact an attorney without delay to avoid missing your time limit.
