What Qualifies as a Wrongful Death in Louisiana?
A wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of another person or entity’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. Under Louisiana law, certain family members may file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. These include:
- Spouses and children
- Parents of the deceased
- Siblings, in some cases
- Legal representatives of the estate
Whether the death occurred due to a serious injury caused by a defective product, medical negligence, or workplace accident, our attorneys will help determine who can file and how to proceed.
