Cedar Park, TX Wrongful Death Lawyer

Recognized & Trusted

No amount of money undoes the loss of someone you love, but the law does let a family recover for what a negligent death takes from them. If your family lost someone in Cedar Park, SMB Law, PC will explain what a claim can recover and handle it with the seriousness it deserves. A compassionate Cedar Park wrongful death lawyer can carry the legal work so your family has room to grieve. Shane M. Boasberg has guided Central Texas families through these claims for more than twenty years and handles each one personally, with the care it calls for.

Cedar Park wrongful death cases arise from crashes on US-183 and RM 1431, construction and workplace incidents amid the area’s growth, and other preventable events. We build the claim around the full, real scope of the family’s loss.

Where a Cedar Park wrongful death case is filed

Cedar Park sits mostly in Williamson County, so a wrongful death suit generally goes to the Williamson County District Clerk in Georgetown. Because the city touches Travis County, we confirm the correct venue for your situation early.

What a Texas wrongful death claim can recover

What a Cedar Park claim can recover is broader than many families expect. Texas allows compensation for the lost earning capacity and financial support the family would have received, the lost care, companionship, and guidance the person provided, mental anguish, and even loss of inheritance. When the death resulted from gross negligence, a jury may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Only the surviving spouse, children, and parents may bring the claim, generally within two years.

Fatal crashes in Cedar Park

The April 2026 fatal crash at Whitestone and Lakeline — worked by Cedar Park PD’s Highway Enforcement Unit — is the reality behind this page. When a family loses someone on Cedar Park’s roads, Texas law provides two paths: a wrongful-death claim for the spouse, children, or parents, and a survival claim by the estate for what the loved one endured.

Cedar Park cases are filed in Williamson County; both claims generally carry a two-year deadline, but the reconstruction evidence cannot wait.

If your Cedar Park case involves more than one vehicle or victim, we also handle being hit by a car, a trucking accident case, and motorcycle collision claims — see the SMB Law wrongful death team for how we work.
