Rayne Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

There is no possible way to make up for the loss of a family member. If your family has suffered a recent loss after a fatal car accident in Rayne, LA, we are sorry for your loss. We know that fatal car accidents change the lives of all those involved. It can be even more painful for the family to know that a driver’s negligence cost them a loved one.

It is natural to feel anger along with your grief. A lawsuit isn’t about revenge, but it is about allowing your family to continue. If your loved one could have filed for damages if they had survived the accident, you could pursue damages on their behalf. A Rayne fatal car accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you consider your legal options. You can start today with a free consultation with our team.

Recoverable Damages After a Fatal Car Accident in Rayne, LA

Your family might be able to recover damages to help you carry on after a loved one’s death from a car accident. In many cases, a family’s budget can take a hit after an unexpected loss. Our wrongful death attorney serving Rayne, LA, can determine if your family could pursue damages from the party that caused the accident under this legal action. 

Louisiana allows injured parties to seek economic (financial) and non-economic (non-financial) losses. The damages can apply to survivors and the decedent. A Rayne personal injury attorney from our firm will discuss with you how the accident affects your life and determine which damages are recoverable.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are financial and likely have a bill or receipt. They include:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of support
  • Future expected financial support

Non-economic damages are losses that do not have a dollar amount, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of companionship

We will assess damages in both categories and determine what compensation amount you can request from the liable party.

Louisiana Law Limits Who Can File on Behalf of Your Family Member

CC Art. § 2315.2 decides which family members can seek damages for a loved one who has died. In this order, they are:

  • Spouse
  • Children
  • Parents
  • Siblings
  • Grandparents

The court will approve any disbursements, and it will follow state guidelines if your loved one died without a will. We can answer your questions and explain how wrongful death actions work under Louisiana law.
