It depends on the nature of the death. In Texas, medical malpractice cases (and only medical malpractice cases) have statutory limitations or “caps.” If your wrongful death case resulted from medical malpractice, the level of non-economic damages (pain and suffering) you receive will be capped. The cap on pain and suffering is limited to $250,000 per defendant and $500,000 maximum total. In addition, the state has an inflation-adjusted cap on overall wrongful death medical malpractice cases. Your wrongful death lawyer will be able to help you understand any caps that apply to your lawsuit.
