Purposeful, meaningful action following the loss of a loved one
Third-party negligence rears its ugly head recurrently across Louisiana and the rest of the country, yielding adverse results for individuals and families imperiled by its occurrence.
Tragically, the results spawned in its wake are often deadly, with consequences that are permanent and can turn the lives of innocent parties upside down. We duly note on our website at the established Louisiana personal injury law firm of Simien & Simien “the devastation of losing a loved one at the hands of someone’s negligence.”
Obviously, no legal response or linked remedy can remotely compensate for that. Survivors of a cherished family member fatally taken because of another person’s careless or indifferent acts are forever grieved and fundamentally affected in countless ways.
In recognizing that, the law still seeks to promote closure and a just outcome in the best way it can. The route it offers to survivors and beneficiaries of a deceased loved one is provided via the filing of a wrongful death lawsuit.
Making such a claim can yield tangible and multiple benefits. A wrongful death claim can spotlight a wrongdoer’s accountability and sometimes also deter similar acts in the future.
And, importantly, it can yield a number of additionally key benefits that we underscore on our website. Those range from the payment of medical outlays and funeral expenses to ongoing and often long-term support to replace loss of wages and to address survivors’ mental anguish and loss of companionship.
Proactivity aimed at securing such benefits is often empowering for family members, who can be timely and compassionately guided by an empathetic and proven legal team of attorneys.
