Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Represent
Our personal injury lawyers in Beaumont, TX, have a track record of securing compensation for wrongful death cases cause by:
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Texas?
Under Texas law, only specific family members have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These eligible individuals include:
- Surviving Spouse: The deceased person's husband or wife.
- Surviving Children: Biological or legally adopted children.
- Surviving Parents: Biological or legal adoptive parents.
If no eligible family member files a wrongful death lawsuit within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the decedent’s estate may file a suit on behalf of the potential beneficiaries, unless all eligible family members explicitly waive their right to pursue legal action.
What Compensation Can a Beaumont Personal Injury Lawyer Help You Recover?

Lost Income

Why Should I File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
After losing a loved one, the last thing you want to deal with is the complexities of an insurance claim.
Insurance companies prioritize their bottom line, often offering quick settlements that fall far short of what you and your family deserve.
In the midst of grief, it can be overwhelming to navigate the legal system alone. That's where we come in. The Henderson-Stiles Law Firm is dedicated to helping families like yours receive the maximum compensation possible.
