FREQUENTLY asked questions

  • A wrongful death occurs when a person loses their life because of someone else’s negligence such as a crash, medical negligence, unsafe property, workplace mistake, or criminal act.

  • Louisiana law gives priority to certain family members including the spouse and children. If none exist, the parents may file. If no parents, then siblings or grandparents may have the right.
    If you are unsure about your eligibility, call Branch Law at 504- 608- 7777 and we can confirm it for you.

  • Families may recover funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, future lost income and benefits, loss of companionship, grief and emotional suffering, and loss of household services.

  • This requires a detailed investigation, witness statements, crash reports, expert testimony, medical evidence, and financial analysis. Our team handles every part of this process so your family can focus on healing.

  • Louisiana generally allows one year from the date of death. Missing this deadline prevents your family from recovering anything. Speak with our office immediately if you believe negligence was involved.

  • Many cases settle, but we prepare every claim as if it will be presented to a judge or jury. Insurance companies take the case more seriously when they see we are ready to go to trial.

  • You never pay upfront. Branch Law works on a contingency fee which means you owe nothing unless we win.
