Losing a loved one is always a devastating experience, but when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions, the pain can feel overwhelming. At RSE Law Firm, we understand the emotional, financial, and legal challenges families face after such a tragedy. Our compassionate team is dedicated to helping you seek justice and hold the responsible parties accountable through a wrongful death claim.
A wrongful death claim arises when a person loses their life due to the negligence or intentional actions of another. These claims allow the surviving family members or representatives of the deceased’s estate to seek compensation for the financial and emotional damages caused by the untimely death. Common causes of wrongful death include:
At RSE Law Firm, we are not just attorneys—we are advocates for families navigating the most difficult moments of their lives. With years of experience handling complex wrongful death cases, we combine legal expertise with compassionate support to help you achieve justice.
Proving negligence or wrongdoing in a wrongful death case requires thorough investigation. Our team collects evidence, interviews witnesses, reviews medical records, and consults with experts to build a compelling case on your behalf.
Every case is unique, and we take the time to understand the circumstances of your loved one’s passing. We tailor our approach to ensure that your family’s specific needs and concerns are addressed.

We understand how difficult it is to navigate legal matters while grieving. Our attorneys are here to guide you with empathy and respect, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

In Texas, specific individuals are allowed to file a wrongful death claim, including:
If none of these parties files a claim within three months, the executor or personal representative of the deceased’s estate may file the claim on behalf of the estate unless explicitly requested not to by the surviving family members.
A successful wrongful death claim can provide financial compensation for a variety of losses, including:
Medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, lost future income, and inheritance the deceased would have provided.
Loss of companionship, love, emotional support, guidance, and pain and suffering endured by the family.
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing, the court may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior.
If you believe your loved one’s death was caused by negligence or wrongful actions, it’s essential to act quickly to preserve your legal rights. Here’s what you can do:
