Losing a loved one is always difficult, no matter the circumstance. When it happens due to the reckless or negligent actions of another person, it is hard to understand the reason for it. As a surviving family member, you have the right to recover damages for your loss.
What Is a Wrongful Death Case?
In Louisiana, when a person dies due to the fault of another person, it is considered a wrongful death. If you meet the criteria as a member of the deceased person’s family, you can bring a suit against the liable parties and seek compensation. Many personal injury cases can become wrongful death cases if the victim passes away for reasons related to the accident. Common accidents that result in wrongful deaths include:
- Major car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Drunk driving accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Construction accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
