Before founding Biggs & Greenslade, Kenneth Morgan Biggs served in the Marine Corps and as the assistant district attorney of Smith County.
As a personal injury attorney serving Waco, TX, he brings thousands of hours of trial experience. Very few personal injury lawyers have the kind of courtroom experience Kenneth Biggs has, and he parlays that into better case outcomes for his clients.
John Greenslade began his career as a corporate attorney with a firm that specialized in defending insurance companies from personal injury claims.
He spent almost a decade on behalf of the insurance companies. This gives him extensive experience with what they can–and will–agree to at the negotiation table. He uses this knowledge to fight for his clients to get them the compensation they deserve.
According to Texas state laws, only certain individuals may file a wrongful death lawsuit.
All non-family members, including common-law spouses, are barred from filing a wrongful death suit on behalf of someone. Family members who are allowed to file include:
Any family members who wish to file a wrongful death suit must do so within 3 months of the death. Family members can choose to file a single suit together or multiple suits as individuals.
After three months, the executor of the estate may elect to file a wrongful death suit, but families may request that no claim be brought. This will prevent the executor from filing.
A wrongful death claim is similar to a personal injury claim. It’s designed to help individuals recover monetary damages related to the death of their family member.
Losses can include monetary and non-monetary damages, including:
Occasionally, courts will award punitive damages to plaintiffs. These are designed to punish the person responsible for the accident or injury, and they can wind up being more than the monetary damages.
