There is nothing more devastating for a family than the death of a loved one caused by another person’s or a company’s negligence. If someone in your family was lost as a result of a wrongful death, you have the right to pursue a lawsuit for compensation. This compensation may include, among other things, lost wages, pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, lost companionship, and even funeral expenses.
At Baggett McCall LLC, our Lake Charles wrongful death lawyers understand that while neither we nor anyone else can bring back the world as it was prior to their loss, we can help you to get your life back together, establish who was responsible for your losses, and recover just and adequate compensation. Our personal injury attorneys have repeatedly and successfully litigated cases against some of the country’s largest companies. We will do whatever is required as your representatives to recover full and fair compensation.
A wrongful death lawsuit is a legal suit against the person or company responsible for the loss caused by their negligent or intentional acts or omissions. Claims can arise from death resulting from car accidents, dangerous property conditions, dangerous chemicals, unsafe working conditions, unsafe drugs or medical devices, or defective products. Our dedicated Lake Charles attorneys have experience in all these types of cases and could help you file your claim and pursue compensation for the devestating loss you have suffered.
While in a personal injury claim, the person bringing the suit is normally the injured person, a wrongful death lawsuit may be filed either by surviving family members or representatives of the deceased person’s estate.
