What is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death, as defined by the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.001, occurs when a loved one is lost due to someone’s negligence, wrongful act, or failure to act. If someone’s actions could have prevented the loss, they should be held accountable. Understanding your rights under the law can bring a sense of justice and closure.
