WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYERS IN LOUISIANA
Wrongful death claims seek compensation when a person’s death is caused by another party’s negligence or misconduct. These cases often arise from fatal accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or dangerous conditions.
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions is one of life’s most painful experiences. In addition to the emotional toll, families may face unexpected financial burdens, unanswered questions, and frustration with insurance companies who minimize responsibility. At Stag Liuzza, we understand that no amount of money can replace a life, but holding the responsible parties accountable can provide justice, peace of mind, and financial support for your family.
WHAT IS A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM?
A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by another individual or entity’s negligent or intentional conduct. These cases commonly involve:
Fatal vehicle accidents
Workplace fatalities
Medical malpractice
Dangerous premises injuries
Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for the financial and emotional losses caused by the death. The legal standards for these cases vary by state, but in all jurisdictions, the goal is to recover fair compensation for the losses that result from another party’s wrongdoing.
WHO CAN FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM?
Wrongful death laws define who may bring a claim on behalf of a deceased loved one. Typically, this includes:
Spouses or domestic partners
Children or heirs
Parents or dependents
Estate representatives
At Stag Liuzza, our attorneys help families understand who qualifies to file a claim, how damages are calculated, and how to pursue justice in complex legal situations.
DAMAGES IN WRONGFUL DEATH CASES
While money cannot restore a life, compensation in a wrongful death claim can alleviate financial stress and honor the memory of the person you lost. Damages can include:
-
Medical and funeral expenses
-
Loss of income or support
-
Loss of companionship, guidance, or care
-
Emotional distress
-
Future earnings and benefits

Punitive damages in some cases
We work with financial and medical experts to make sure all losses are fully documented and presented to maximize recovery.
