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.
