WRONGFUL DEATH

WAS YOUR LOVED ONE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT? JOSH CLAYTON LAW IS HERE TO HELP.

SHREVEPORT WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER

HELPING FAMILIES IMPACTED BY NEGLIGENCE

There are two primary causes of action after a death that has occurred due to the negligence of another party. The first is a wrongful death lawsuit, which includes the recovery of lost wages, companionship, medical expenses incurred prior to death, and funeral expenses. The second is a survival action, which can compensate the wrongful death victim’s estate for the suffering of the deceased prior to death.

The wrongful death of a loved one has a devastating effect on a family, both emotionally and financially. When families lose a loved one in a fatal accident, they are often overwhelmed by feelings of loss and grief. While nothing can bring your loved one back, our wrongful death lawyer in Shreveport can hold the responsible party accountable and obtain compensation for the survivors. We understand that no amount of money can make up for the loss of a human life; however, financial compensation can help ease some of the stress that families will experience after the loss of a loved one.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

These tragedies can be even more difficult after realizing that the loved one’s death could have been prevented. Family members may be struggling after losing a loved one by dealing with their grief as well as having to plan a funeral and thinking about the long-term consequences. In certain situations, you may be able to recover compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit, with the help of an attorney.

We can’t replace your loved one, but we will fight hard to get you the compensation you deserve after suffering a tragic loss. We work hard with our clients to get the compensation they deserve so they can navigate their growing financial hardship and support their families after an unexpected death.

WHO CAN COLLECT COMPENSATION FOR A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT?

In Louisiana, certain family members can bring wrongful death claims to obtain compensation for the emotional and financial losses caused by their loved one’s death. Louisiana has special rules that dictate who can recover compensation in the event of a wrongful death lawsuit. 

Under these rules, there are four types of relatives who are able to file a lawsuit to seek compensation:

  • The victim’s spouse and children
  • The victim’s parents
  • The victim’s brothers and sisters
  • The victim’s grandparents

If a relative survives that is closer to the lost family member, you are unable to file a wrongful death lawsuit. For example, if you are the victim’s father and the victim has a surviving child, the child is able to file a lawsuit, but you cannot.
