- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
- Loss of financial support and future income
- Loss of companionship and consortium

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?
In Texas, certain family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. Those eligible to file a claim include:
- Spouses
- Children, including adopted children
- Parents, including adoptive parents
It’s important to understand that the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in Texas is generally two years from the date of the loved one’s passing.
