Understanding wrongful death cases in Louisiana
What makes a wrongful death claim different
A wrongful death case seeks justice for the family’s loss — not just the injury. We pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional pain of losing someone too soon.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit
Louisiana law allows spouses, children, or parents to bring a claim, depending on surviving relatives. Our team helps families understand their rights and timelines for filing.
How we build the case
We investigate the cause — from a
fatal car accident to medical negligence — working with accident reconstructionists, financial experts, and medical professionals to uncover the full truth.
The timeline for action
Louisiana’s deadline is short: most wrongful death claims must be filed within one year. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the sooner evidence can be preserved.
