Damages Associated with Wrongful Death Claim
After a fatal collision, your family can file a wrongful death lawsuit that may allow you to secure funds to cover your:
- Lost companionship and comfort
- Lost love and affection
- Lost household services
- Lost financial support and income
- Lost inheritance and savings
We can discuss the damages associated with your claim when you reach out to us for a consultation.
Additional Compensation Through a Survival Action
In some cases, you may need to file a survival action in addition to a wrongful death lawsuit. Survival actions focus on the damages your loved one could have sought compensation for had they survived the accident
For example, a survival action could provide compensation for your loved one’s medical bills, emotional distress, and any pain and suffering they experienced before they passed. Our team can give you more information about both survival actions and wrongful death lawsuits.
Punitive Damages and Wrongful Death Lawsuits
In some cases, your family may qualify to receive punitive (or exemplary) damages. The court may award these damages if someone causes a fatal car accident through gross negligence.
These damages do not directly cover the losses faced by your family. Instead, the court uses exemplary damages to punish the party that caused your loved one’s fatal auto accident.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fatal Car Accidents
Our fatal car accident attorneys in San Antonio can answer questions like:
Where Do Fatal Accidents Happen in San Antonio?
Two of Texas’s deadliest roads pass through San Antonio. We see many deadly crashes on I-35 and I-10. However, fatal crashes can occur anywhere in our city, and we’re ready to step in to help regardless of the location of the crash.
We can help after deadly crashes caused by drunk driving, distracted driving, and aggressive driving. We’ll work to collect evidence against the liable party and then move forward with your family’s claim.
Can I File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit After a Deadly Crash?
Texas gives spouses, parents, and children the first opportunity to file a wrongful death lawsuit after a fatal crash. You have three months from the time of the death of your loved one to file a lawsuit as one of these family members.
After three months, you can still file a lawsuit as the personal representative (or administrator or executor) of your loved one’s estate. We can discuss your eligibility to take legal action when you contact us for legal support.
How Long Does My Family Have To File a Lawsuit After a Deadly Motor Vehicle Accident?
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations that applies to most wrongful death lawsuits, though this deadline may vary in certain circumstances. Our team can review your family’s situation and give you information about how long you have to take legal action.
Keep in mind that you must move much more quickly if you want to file a lawsuit as a spouse, child, or parent.
