If someone dies in a truck accident in Texas, their family may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault driver. According to the Texas statute of limitations, the family generally has two years to file a wrongful death claim after their loved one passes away due to a fatal roadway crash.
The deceased person's estate can also file a survival action claim for damages such as medical expenses and lost wages. A wrongful death claim can help the family recover financial compensation for their losses. It is important to contact an attorney experienced in handling truck accident cases and wrongful death claims to ensure that all of your legal rights are protected.
