Who can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Louisiana?

Losing a loved one is a devastating experience, and it can be even more challenging when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence. In Louisiana, wrongful death claims can provide financial compensation to the surviving family members of the deceased. However, not everyone is eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

At the Knoll Law Firm, we understand the complexities of wrongful death cases and are here to help guide you through the legal process. In Louisiana, the following individuals may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim:

  • Spouse of the deceased
  • Children of the deceased
  • Parents of the deceased (if there is no spouse or children)
  • Siblings of the deceased (if there is no spouse, children, or parents)


It’s important to note that the eligibility to file a wrongful death claim may also depend on other factors, such as the specific circumstances of the accident and the relationship of the individual to the deceased. Our experienced attorneys can evaluate your case and help you understand your legal options. We are committed to providing compassionate legal representation that takes into account your unique circumstances.

When does a Wrongful Death Claim Apply?

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an unthinkable tragedy, and it can be overwhelming to consider legal action during such a difficult time. If you’re unsure if you have a case for a wrongful death claim, our experienced attorneys at the Knoll Law Firm can help you understand your legal options.

In Louisiana, a wrongful death claim may apply when the following conditions are met:

  • The death was caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional act of another party.
  • The surviving family members have suffered damages as a result of the death, such as loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
  • The deceased person would have been able to file a personal injury claim if they had survived the accident.

Determining whether you have a valid wrongful death claim can be a complex process, and it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can help you navigate the legal system. Our compassionate attorneys at the Knoll Law Firm can help you understand your legal options and provide the guidance and support you need during this difficult time.

It is important to note that every case is unique and the types of damages that you can seek compensation for will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. It is recommended that you speak with an experienced automobile accident attorney who can evaluate your case and help you understand what types of compensation you may be entitled to.

Frequently Asked Questions

The legal process can be very confusing and we know that you may have many questions and concerns regarding your case. To help relieve initial uncertainty about your legal rights, The Knoll Law Firm has compiled a list of frequently asked questions by our clients after an accident:

Will I be compensated for my pain and suffering?

Yes, pain and suffering is a type of damage that can be compensated in a wrongful death case. This type of compensation is designed to compensate you for the physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by the death of your loved one.

How long can a claim last?

If a claim is resolved prior to litigation, then it generally will settle 3 to 6 months after the claimant finishes medical treatment. Cases that go into litigation can take several years based on the case, but average is generally about two years.

How much money will an attorney cost me?

Most personal injury and death cases are taken on a contingency fees basis. This means the client pays the attorney nothing out of his/her pocket up front and the attorney receives a percentage of the proceeds collected. If nothing is collected the attorney is paid nothing.

How do I determine if I have a case?

If you have lost a loved one in an accident then you may have the right to compensation for your loss. Every case is different and requires legal analysis by a knowledgeable and experienced personal injury attorney.

How long do I have to file a claim after an accident?
