Re: wrongful death
Texas has a cap for wrongful death in health care liability claims of about $1.5 million. However, Texas also has general caps on noneconomic damages in health care liability claims of $250,000 in most cases.
Depending on what happened the case you describe may or may not be capped. If it is not a health care liability claim, then there should be no cap.
