Question:

Are punitive damages recoverable in wrongful death actions?

Answer:

Not long ago I had a call from a couple who suffered serious injuries, including brain damage, due to someone’s gross carelessness, recklessness and negligence in Texas. They wanted to know whether punitive damages were recoverable in their circumstance. The answer is that punitive damages, or exemplary damages, are recoverable in Texas for what is called gross negligence, which is a high degree of recklessness on the part of the wrongdoer— the person who was careless, reckless, or engaging in dangerous activities and also in situations where the other person intentionally causes harm.
