Wrongful Death

Brazoria County Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Attorney

What You Need to Know About Wrongful Death in Texas

The death of a loved one is always tragic. When a death is caused by another's negligence or wrongful action, the pain and suffering are magnified. Texas recognizes that surviving family members should not have to bear this additional burden and allows them to bring a personal injury case against the liable party.

In order to pursue a wrongful death claim in Texas, the decedent's family must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of death. If the decedent died due to a work-related injury or illness, the family has two years from the date of the decedent's disability to file a claim.

In a wrongful death claim, the decedent's family members are allowed to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. These include funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, and the emotional trauma of losing a loved one. Crenshaw & Purvis can help you get the justice you deserve. We understand that no amount of money can replace your loved one, but compensation can help you rebuild your life and honor the memory of your family member.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

    Thank you Mr. Crenshaw for your services! I highly recommend him. 10/10
    “Mr. Crenshaw was awesome! He is very professional and kept in contact with me all the time. Mr. Crenshaw was able to help me with my case and did what he needed to do to come out on top!”
    - Rene R.
    I absolutely recommend Crenshaw and Purvis 100 percent to anyone seeking highly professional legal assistance.
    “I appreciate the services of Crenshaw and Purvis. I was charged with a Family Violence misdemeanor and got my case dismissed. The whole staff at Crenshaw and Purvis was on the ball and filed all the necessary motions in a timely manner and called the day before my court dates to remind me to come to court.”
    - Stephen R.
    Jeff Purvis and his team gave me Justice!
    “I put my faith in Jeff Purvis, and his team! My court appointed attorney was a complete failure, who suggested he'd request being removed from my case because I asked him to request a dismissal. The case had so many things wrong with it, and even with a plaintiffs request of non-prosecution and two witnesses, my attorney tried to get me to take a plea, for something I was innocent of, even suggesting he couldn't win because of a past record and my race, and stated "It is Brazoria County!" I had 8 months unable to work at regular job because it was already showing on a background check. Just out of surgery, not making money, and this too!”
    - David R.
