Practice ● Wrongful Death
Wrongful death.
Nothing we do can undo your loss. What we can do is hold the responsible party fully accountable and recover the financial security your family needs going forward. We handle these cases with the care they deserve.
Common Causes
How these cases happen.
Fatal Car & Truck Crashes
The leading cause of wrongful-death claims in Louisiana, often involving impaired or distracted drivers.
Workplace & Industrial
Maritime, offshore, and industrial deaths often involve multiple responsible parties.
Medical Negligence
Failure to diagnose, surgical error, and medication mistakes can rise to actionable negligence.
Premises & Security
Negligent security and dangerous property conditions that result in death.
Defective Products
When a manufacturer's product causes death, manufacturers can be held strictly liable.
Nursing-Home Neglect
Falls, bedsores, and inadequate care that contribute to a resident's death.
What You May Recover
Damages in Louisiana.
Louisiana law allows injured victims to recover compensation for the full impact of someone else's negligence. We pursue every category of damages your case supports.
Survival action: pain and suffering of the deceased before death
Wrongful-death: loss of love, affection, and companionship
Loss of financial support and household services
Funeral and burial expenses
Medical expenses prior to death
Mental anguish of surviving family members
Punitive damages where Louisiana law permits
