Family members wishing to bring a wrongful death suit have a limited amount of time in which to take action. Texas gives family members two years from the date of the individual’s death to file a lawsuit. If the suit is not filed within the two-year time frame, it may be dismissed if filed after the deadline. There are some exceptions to this statute of limitations.
It is best to talk to an experienced wrongful death attorney sooner rather than later, to avoid running afoul of the statute of limitations.
