HOUSTON WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER
When negligence takes someone you love, we hold those responsible accountable.
Houston Wrongful Death Lawyer
No lawsuit can bring back someone you love. But when a death was caused by a trucking company, a refinery, a railroad, or a property owner that cut corners, Texas law gives families the right to hold them accountable and to secure their financial future. Cammack Law Firm represents surviving spouses, children, and parents in wrongful death cases across the Houston area. We handle the investigation, the insurers, and the litigation, so your family can grieve without also having to fight.
THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE STARTED BUILDING ITS DEFENSE THE DAY IT HAPPENED. YOUR FAMILY DESERVES SOMEONE DOING THE SAME FOR YOU.
WHO CAN FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM IN TEXAS?
Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, a claim can be brought by the surviving spouse, children (including adult children), and parents of the person who died. Siblings, grandparents, and other relatives generally cannot bring a wrongful death claim. If none of the eligible family members files within three months of the death, the executor or administrator of the estate may file, unless the family asks them not to.
The estate may also bring a separate survival claim for the losses the person suffered before they died, such as their pain and medical expenses. We evaluate both claims in every case.

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CASE
Evidence in fatal cases disappears quickly. Trucking companies, employers, and their insurers often have investigators on scene within hours. We send preservation demands right away, secure data recorders, logs, maintenance records, and video, and bring in reconstruction, engineering, and economic experts to show exactly what happened and what your family has lost. Then we prepare the case for trial.
In most Texas wrongful death cases, the deadline to file is two years from the date of death. Please do not wait to get advice.
