What Louisiana Families Need to Know
State law allows family members to pursue damages after a wrongful death—whether caused by a crash, a work accident, or unsafe property. Our attorneys guide families through every legal and practical step.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Louisiana?
Spouses, children, parents, and some other close relatives may have this right. We’ll help clarify your options.
What compensation can our family receive?
You may recover funeral expenses, loss of income, medical bills, and more.
Is there a time limit for filing?
