Families Seeking Justice For Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another can be a heart-wrenching experience. In Louisiana, while the law may not grant multi-million dollar settlements frequently heard about in high-profile cases, it does provide a way for certain family members or beneficiaries to receive compensation for their loss. At Smith Law Offices, we specialize in wrongful death lawsuits - complex civil cases aimed at holding the responsible party accountable and pursuing the rightful compensation for our clients.

Does Smith Law Handle Wrongful Death Cases?

The attorneys at Smith Law Offices have a vast experience in handling wrongful death cases, with a track record of securing favorable outcomes for the grieving families and beneficiaries. We understand the immense emotional burden such a loss can impose and fully acknowledge that no amount of money can truly compensate for the life lost. However, our objective is to passionately fight for your right to obtain the maximum benefits permitted under the law, holding the negligent party accountable for their actions.


What Is Wrongful Death? 

Wrongful deaths often result from workplace and motor vehicle accidents. While you may not receive millions of dollars from a wrongful death claim in Louisiana, a successful lawsuit can yield compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages that the deceased would have earned, and associated funeral and medical costs.

How Do I Choose a Wrongful Death Attorney?

Choosing the right team of wrongful death attorneys is crucial to the outcome of your case. The potential impact of hiring inexperienced attorneys could be detrimental to both the case outcome and the amount of compensation recovered. At Smith Law Offices, we have resolved dozens of wrongful death cases through both settlements and trials to our clients' satisfaction. It's important to remember that even if the party responsible for the death was not criminally charged, they can still be held accountable in a civil court, as the standards of proof in civil cases differ.
 

At Smith Law Offices, our dedicated and compassionate team is prepared to fight for you. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one due to wrongful death, we encourage you to reach out for a consultation.

In the state of Louisiana, in most instances, a plaintiff has up to four years [from the date of the accident or when the injury occurred] to file a personal injury claim according to Louisiana Law. Smith Law offices will stick by you until your personal injury claim is settled and you receive the reasonable compensation owed to you for your injuries.
