Wrongful Death Attorney in Sugar Land

Wrongful Death Cases

A wrongful death occurs when the death is caused in whole or in part by the negligent or willful actions of another or others. In Texas, the spouse, children and parents are entitled to file suit against the liable or contributing party. Wrongful death actions are valid only if the deceased individual would have been able to file a personal injury claim had he or she lived. Any damages won will be divided per the direction of the jury amongst the living individuals entitled to recover them.
