Strickland v. Medlen
, 397 S.W.3d 184 (Tex. 2013)
As the Texas Supreme Court opinion indicates, the common law
denied humans the ability to recover for the death of another. It
was only in the 20th century, when states enacted statutes
allowing for spouses and estates to recover for the “wrongful
death” – committed negligently, recklessly, or intentionally – of
another, that civil lawsuits for the death of another were
allowed.
1) What is the reasoning supporting the court’s decision in
Strickland
? Be specific about identifying reasons.
2) What are the interest groups that played a role in this case,
and what were the groups' concerns?
