For the Family: Compensation for the Loss of Love and Support

As an immediate family member, you may have a legal claim to compensate for the expenses and suffering caused by the wrongful death of your loved one. If the accident victim was a wage earner, you may also be entitled to compensation for the income that he or she would have contributed to the family over a lifetime.

In Recognition of the Victim's Suffering: Survival Actions

It is always difficult to consider the suffering that a loved one endured between the time of a motorcycle or auto accident and his or her death due to burns or other trauma. The terror and pain of being electrocuted can never be erased. But under Louisiana law, you can file a survival action to hold negligent parties accountable for the suffering caused by their recklessness or indifference.
