Wrongful Death Settlement Timeline

Answer:

In the state of Texas, to resolve a wrongful death case there are several factors that have to be looked into. Typically, I would say that a wrongful death case involves a violation of several safety rules that led to the accident. In order to hold a company liable for violating those safety rules, we have to look at each regulation and determine how and why they were violated. That takes time. In my estimation, I would say two to three years at least is needed to resolve a wrongful death case.

There are occasions where a company will admit that they did something wrong and pay. However, these are few and far between. I would say the chances of that happening would be 2%. Otherwise, you’re in for a long fight. If you have questions regarding the time period it would take to resolve such a case, please feel free to contact us.
