Louisiana Wrongful Death Lawyers Helping Victims Get the Justice They Deserve.

Our Louisiana wrongful death lawyers help clients pursue claims for fatal circumstances. At Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC, we know the value of your loss is incalculable. We are committed to helping families of fatal incident victims obtain justice and fair compensation.

Helping Families of Fatal Incident Victims

The loss of a loved one is always painful, and when it is a sudden loss due to an avoidable accident, the grief for surviving family members is even greater. We understand it is difficult to think of legal action while you are mourning, but know that our experienced attorneys are here to help.

If a death is caused by the negligent or intentional misconduct of another, it is considered a wrongful death in Louisiana — and there may be a legal claim to be pursued.

No family wants to find themselves in this circumstance. However, in such a trying time, it is important to have an experienced Louisiana wrongful death lawyer at your side to make sure the rights of the deceased are honored and the surviving loved ones are provided for. A wrongful death claim can provide that security with recoverable damages.

Seeking Justice, Closure, & Compensation

In Louisiana, the law regarding wrongful death litigation can be complex. Potential claims and recoveries can vary based on whether the deceased was an adult or a minor and who has survived them. We understand the needless loss of a family member can cause damage to a family for generations.

Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC helps grieving Louisiana families seek justice, emotional closure, and the appropriate financial compensation. A wrongful death claim can result from a death caused by automobile collisions, industrial injuries, medical malpractice, or premises liability.

From our offices in Lafayette, we pursue these cases on behalf of our clients throughout Louisiana. No matter where a fatal incident happened, or where you live, our Louisiana wrongful death lawyers can help.

Experienced in All Wrongful Death Claims

The survivors may recover damages for the suffering of the deceased and for his or her wrongful death to include loss of love, affection, society, consortium, and other damages.

An unexpected death can result in financial or emotional turmoil in the lives of spouses, children, or other family members who survive, but you still must support yourself and possibly other dependents.

Of course, monetary damages cannot bring a loved one back, but seeking legal help to recover damages can provide the financial means for a family to continue to live through a difficult and emotional time.

SEEKING LEGAL HELP IN DIFFICULT TIMES

When the person who was unjustly killed was the primary breadwinner for the family, a wrongful death claim can ensure a college education for his or her children as well as medical care and other necessities and comforts of life for a family facing a radically-altered and uncertain future.

Recoverable damages may include:

• Medical Expenses
• Funeral and Burial Expenses
• Loss of Support
• Loss of Future Earnings
• Mental Anguish
• Pain and Suffering
• Loss of Companionship
• Loss of Parental Care and Guidance
