Wrongful Death Law in Louisiana

Louisiana has laws that allows the personal representative to pursue compensation when a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence, per Louisiana Civil Code § 2315.2. That personal representative may be a surviving spouse, child of the deceased, a parent, possibly even a sibling.

A Crowley wrongful death lawyer will create a strong case on your behalf, proving the other party was liable for the death of your loved one.

Under Louisiana Civil Code § 3492, the state’s statute of limitations is one year. That means you must file your claim within that timeframe.

Understanding Wrongful Death Cases

Many things can cause a wrongful death scenario. Here are a few of them:

Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents are a leading cause of serious accidents, especially if it is in the construction business. The various pieces of large equipment can cause bodily injury if something goes wrong.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

The Insurance Information Institute (III) reports that 6,734,000 car accidents occurred in 2018. Many of them were fatal, often resulting in wrongful death.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens more frequently than you think. These mistakes can lead to fatal results, which are devastating for loved ones left behind. We can hold doctors accountable when this happens.

Product Malfunction

Sometimes products do not work like they are supposed to. When this occurs, someone could become seriously injured or killed. The manufacturer is often liable in these cases.

These are just a few ways that a wrongful death can occur. Speak to a Crowley wrongful death lawyer to determine if your case is a solid one. At the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we will get you on the right track for compensation. Contact us at (337) 777-7777 for a free consultation.

Making the Case

When someone dies in an accident, then your lawyer must prove the other person was at fault. That means building the case by collecting evidence and showing the link between the wrongful death and the other’s actions. As a part of this process, your Crowley wrongful death lawyer may need to do some of the following:

  • Talk to witnesses of the accident
  • Gather medical records if applicable
  • Examine the death certificate
  • File the appropriate paperwork for your claim
  • Conduct research
  • Negotiate a settlement with the other party
  • Represent you in court

Your Crowley wrongful death lawyer will establish a case that proves the other party was liable for the accident. The three steps involved in making the case include:

Duty of Care

Duty of care is a legal term, which refers to people’s responsibility to not allow harm to come to you while on their property. This step is straightforward, but still must be established.

Breath of Duty

Once the duty of care is proven, then your lawyer must prove the other person did not use reasonable efforts to protect the victim. This step may occur because the person was negligent or careless. In the case of a medical malpractice situation, the doctor may have failed to diagnose a serious condition, which led to death.

Causation

Finally, the lawyer needs to show that the breach of duty led to death. There needs to be a direct cause and effect link.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
