Only certain categories of people are eligible to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. In Texas, the law allows the deceased’s surviving spouse, children and parents to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. That individual can bring the Texas wrongful death lawsuit solely on their own behalf or on behalf of themselves as well as one or more of the eligible individuals outlined above.
Texas wrongful death lawsuits are governed by Chapter 71 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Section 71.004, “Benefitting from and bringing action,” is the specific law that outlines who can bring a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas.
