Losing a loved one is always devastating.

Our firm represents families throughout Hays County with compassion, clarity, and a results-driven legal strategy. We understand that no amount of compensation can replace your loved one, but a strong legal claim can help protect your family’s future while holding the responsible party accountable.
What Constitutes Wrongful Death in Texas?
Under Texas law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional act. These cases commonly arise from:
- Car and truck accidents
- Motorcycle collisions
- Workplace incidents
- Medical negligence
- Defective products
Establishing a wrongful death claim requires proving that the at-fault party’s actions directly caused the loss. This process involves a detailed investigation, careful analysis of evidence, and a strategic legal approach.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
In Texas, certain surviving family members are eligible to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. This typically includes the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. These claims are designed to address both the emotional and financial impact of the loss.
Our legal team works closely with families to guide them through every step of the process—ensuring they understand their rights and options while we handle the legal complexities.
Compensation Available to Families
A wrongful death claim seeks to recover damages that reflect the full impact of the loss. This may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of income and financial support
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- Emotional pain and suffering
In some cases, additional damages may be available if the conduct involved was particularly reckless or egregious.
We take a comprehensive approach to evaluating these damages—working with financial experts and other professionals to ensure that your claim accurately reflects both immediate and long-term losses.
A Strategic Approach to Complex Litigation
Wrongful death cases often involve significant legal challenges, including aggressive insurance defense strategies and complex liability issues. Our firm prepares every case with precision—building strong evidence, consulting with experts, and developing a clear path forward.
While we pursue fair settlements when appropriate, we are always prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. This readiness strengthens your position and helps ensure that your family’s interests are fully protected.
A Former Nurse On Our Team
Our law firm employs a trained nurse who assists us with analyzing medical records; to determine the full extent of the injury suffered, the probable length of medical treatment required and the possible long-term health care needs for a catastrophic injury. Bronwyn helps clients find providers and guides them through the treatment process, settlement, and ongoing case management.
“I was in a car accident and tried to settle it myself, with zero results—I only wanted to break even on medical bills, but that seemed impossible. I sought help from David Sergi. Everyone in his office was kind, prompt, and thorough. Bronwyn found errors in my spreadsheets of medical costs that I didn’t even know existed. My phone calls and emails were returned quickly, without fail. I always felt that I was in expert hands, and this greatly reduced my stress level. This is a lovely, caring practice in San Marcos that seems able to handle just about anything. Finally, David and his staff just negotiated a settlement that was far above what I had expected. I can’t recommend this practice highly enough! It’s a local treasure, and I will use it again if I have any future need for a lawyer.”
