Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Wrongful death claims, including semi truck wrongful death claims, are governed by specific laws that give families the right to sue. In Louisiana, a surviving spouse, child, parent or guardian, siblings or grandparents may file a wrongful death claim.

Every wrongful death lawsuit has "elements" that must be proved for the family to win the case. The elements required depend on the type of case, but usually include:

the death was caused by a wrongful act, neglect or default
there are surviving beneficiaries
the beneficiaries suffered loss (loss of income, loss of the care and comfort of the deceased and other "damages")

Many factors must be considered when determining compensation in a wrongful death claim. Compensation may cover medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of benefits (pension/retirement/services the deceased provided), loss of future income and loss of companionship.

PritzkerOlsen, P.A. is a national semi accident law firm for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. When we handle out-of-state cases in state or federal court, we retain the services of local counsel, who then move to have us admitted pro hac vice, meaning "for this particular occasion." We handle accident cases involving a semi truck hitting a car, motorcycle, van, bus, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.
