What is Wrongful Death?

Let’s Break it Down.

It is  important to know your rights and the steps you can take to seek justice. According to the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.001, wrongful death means the heartbreaking loss of a loved one due to someone’s wrongful act, carelessness, lack of skill, or failure to act. Simply put, if someone’s negligence caused a fatal incident that could have been prevented, they should be held accountable. In these difficult moments, knowing that the law is on your side to offer protection and justice can bring a measure of comfort. If you need more information or just to talk, we’re here at CARABIN LAW ready to lend a hand. Remember, when you can’t, Carabin can!

The unfortunate truth is that incidents leading to wrongful death can happen anywhere—whether it’s at work, on the road, in public spaces, or even in the comfort of your own home. If a loved one’s passing is due to someone else’s negligence, Texas law calls it a “wrongful death.”. It’s a heavy topic, but understanding this can help you navigate.

Here are some frequent causes to be aware of:

  • CAR CRASHES: Daily commutes or just driving can sometimes have really heartbreaking consequences, and in some cases, they can even lead to wrongful death. It’s a heavy thought, but it’s important to know your rights.
  • DRUNK DRIVING– When someone’s life is tragically cut short because another person made the terrible decision to drive drunk, it’s called wrongful death. This isn’t just a legal term; it’s about acknowledging a serious loss caused by reckless decisions. The courts take this very seriously and often impose punitive damages.
  • COMMERCIAL VEHICLE COLLISIONS – These accidents can involve large trucks, buses, and other vehicles used for commercial purposes.
  • MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: When healthcare professionals make errors, it can unfortunately result in tragic outcomes, and in the worst-case scenarios, even lead to wrongful death.
  • WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS: A workplace accident, also known as an occupational accident, refers to any unforeseen event occurring during the course of work that results in physical or mental injury or death. Workplace accidents include incidents such as slips, trips, falls, fires, explosions, chemical spills, and exposure to chemicals. In high-risk sectors like construction, adhering to strict safety protocols is absolutely essential. Unfortunately, when these protocols aren’t followed or when equipment fails, it can lead to devastating outcomes, including wrongful deaths.
  • INJURIES IN THE OILFIELD: We understand that losing a loved one in an oilfield accident due to someone else’s negligence is deeply heartbreaking. In such unfortunate circumstances, you do have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim. Depending on the situation, the responsible party could be the employer, a defective product, or a subcontractor who failed to ensure proper oversight. Often, it’s a combination of these factors that leads to such tragedies. In these difficult times, it’s important to know that all involved—from the employer to the product manufacturer and the
