Pflugerville, TX Wrongful Death Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
A negligent death can stem from many different causes, and each one points to different responsible parties. If your family lost someone in Pflugerville, SMB Law, PC will identify who is accountable and pursue them while supporting your family through the process. A thorough Pflugerville wrongful death lawyer identifies every responsible party, which is often more than the obvious one. Shane has spent over two decades holding negligent parties accountable in Central Texas and handles each family’s case personally.
The Pflugerville wrongful death cases we see most often follow highway crashes on I-35, SH-130, or SH-45, workplace accidents, or defective products — and untangling which parties and insurers are involved is central to the claim.
Where a Pflugerville wrongful death case is filed
Pflugerville is in Travis County, so a wrongful death suit is filed at the Travis County Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street — just blocks from our office, where we appear regularly.
Common causes and who can recover
Pflugerville wrongful death cases most often follow a highway crash, a workplace accident, or a defective product, and each points to different responsible parties and insurers. Whatever the cause, Texas limits the claim to the surviving spouse, children, and parents, allows a separate survival claim for the estate, and generally requires filing within two years. Identifying every liable party — a driver, an employer, a manufacturer — is what determines the real scope of a recovery.
