The loss of a family member is always difficult. When that loss is caused by the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of a person or business, it is tragic. At Modica, Dowden & Sledge, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we are dedicated to helping you find answers and pursue wrongful death lawsuits.
Compassionate Legal Representation for Families
A wrongful death leaves a lot of questions, and often not a lot of answers. Why did the accident happen? Who is responsible? How will medical bills get paid? What will happen in the future? Our attorneys cannot make up for the loss of a family member, but we can shoulder some of the burden for finding the responsible party and filing a wrongful death lawsuit to hold them accountable for their negligence.
Some of the factors considered in determining damages in wrongful death lawsuits include:
- Financial expense, including funeral costs and the cost of medical treatment employed in the attempt to save the persons life
- Loss of future earning or the expected financial contribution the person would have made to the family through work
- Loss of future benefits, such as pension or retirement benefits
- Loss of companionship and consortium
- Punitive damages to punish the person or company whose negligence caused the death of the victim
Wrongful death claims can arise from a variety of events, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or workplace accidents. At Modica, Dowden & Sledge, we have the skill and experience to effectively and compassionately handle wrongful death lawsuits. We offer a free initial consultation to the families of wrongful death victims and handle all our cases on a contingency basis.
