Houston Wrongful Death Attorney
Wrongful death happens when a person dies because of someone else’s actions or unsafe conditions. These cases often involve accidents, dangerous workplaces, or defective products.
This page explains how wrongful death cases are handled under Texas law and when speaking with an attorney may help families understand their options.
Dedicated Legal Guidance For Wrongful Death Cases
Losing a loved one is deeply painful. At the same time, families may face financial stress and unanswered questions.
Some wrongful death cases involve a third party, not the employer. For example, a contractor, equipment company, property owner, or driver may have caused or contributed to unsafe conditions.
Texas law may allow families to pursue legal action in these situations. The Law Office of Don E. McClure Jr. helps families in Houston and Pasadena understand how third-party wrongful death cases are reviewed and what steps may be available.
Common Causes Of Third Party Wrongful Death
Third-party wrongful death cases may arise in many situations. Common examples include:
Construction site accidents
Industrial or refinery incidents
Defective tools or equipment
Vehicle accidents involving work vehicles
Unsafe property conditions
Electrocution or chemical exposure
Because every case is different, understanding who caused the unsafe condition is an important first step.
Understanding Third Party Wrongful Death Under Texas Law
Not every death leads to a wrongful death claim. Each case depends on the facts.
In third-party cases, Texas law often looks at whether someone outside the employer failed to act safely. These cases may involve companies, contractors, or other parties who had control over the work site or equipment.
Texas law also limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, such as certain family members. An attorney can help explain how these rules apply.
