Wrongful Death Attorneys Who Carry the Fight For Your Family

No settlement gives back what was taken. What it can do is secure your family's future and force accountability — while you focus on each other, not on adjusters.

The straight answer

Under Louisiana Civil Code article 2315.2, a spouse, children, or parents of someone killed by negligence can bring a wrongful death claim for funeral costs, lost income and support, and loss of companionship — alongside a survival action for the loved one's own suffering. Deadlines are strict, and only certain family members may file; a free, private consultation clarifies your family's rights.

You decide, we execute

Settle or try the case — the decision is always yours, made with complete information.

Answers, up front

Frequently asked questions

Who is allowed to file a wrongful death claim in Louisiana?
Louisiana sets a strict order: the surviving spouse and children first, then parents, then siblings. We confirm exactly who holds the claim in your family's situation — and coordinate so relatives aren't pitted against each other.
How long do we have to decide?
Wrongful death deadlines in Louisiana are strict and can be short. You don't need to make any decision immediately — but let us preserve the evidence now so every option stays open.
What is a survival action?
It's a companion claim for what your loved one experienced between injury and passing — their pain, fear, and losses. It belongs to the estate and often adds substantial value the insurer hopes you won't pursue.
We can't afford a legal battle right now.
You'll never pay us anything out of pocket. We advance every cost, and our fee comes only from the recovery — and only if there is one. Grief should never be the reason a family lets accountability go.

Don't wait on the insurance company

Louisiana deadlines are strict and evidence disappears fast. The consultation is free, confidential, and carries zero obligation — and you'll know where you stand today.
