Georgetown, TX Wrongful Death Lawyer

When a family loses someone to another’s negligence, the grief is compounded by hard practical questions about the future. If your loved one died in Georgetown, SMB Law, PC helps your family understand its rights and pursue accountability with care and patience.

Georgetown wrongful death matters arise from I-35 and SH-130 crashes, workplace incidents, and other preventable events. We handle the demanding investigative work — preserving evidence and identifying every responsible party — while your family focuses on each other.

Where a Georgetown wrongful death case is filed

As the Williamson County seat, Georgetown hears these cases at the Williamson County Justice Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Street. Handling the claim in the county where your family lives can spare you travel during an exhausting time.

Two claims after a negligent death

Texas actually recognizes two separate claims, and a Georgetown family often has both. The wrongful death claim compensates the surviving spouse, children, and parents for their own losses — lost financial support, lost companionship, and mental anguish. The separate survival claim belongs to the estate and recovers what your loved one personally suffered before death, including medical expenses and conscious pain. Both generally must be brought within two years, and pursuing them together is usually what makes a family whole.
