What Qualifies as Wrongful Death in Cedar Park?

Wrongful death claims can arise in a wide variety of ways. In Texas, wrongful death applies to a fatality that occurs due to another individual or entity’s “wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default,” and the injured individual would have been able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party had they lived. 

These claims can occur as a result of:

• Vehicle accidents
• Commercial truck accidents
• Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Premises liability incidents
• Defective products
• Medical mistakes
• Animal attacks

Additionally, Texas allows wrongful death civil claims to arise in the event a person’s actions lead to an injury that causes a fetus’s failure to be born alive.

Possible Compensation for a Successful Claim

• Lost wages the deceased would have earned throughout their lifetime had they lived
• Lost inheritance the deceased would have left behind have they been able to save throughout the rest of their life
• Mental and emotional pain and suffering experienced by the surviving family members
• Compensation for the loss of services, support, maintenance, advice, and counsel the deceased would have provided
