The tragic news of your sudden loss can turn your world upside down, leaving you no time for managing your case. A wrongful death attorney from the Law Office of John W. Redmann, LLC can determine if you qualify for a wrongful death claim and pursue compensation on your behalf.
A death caused by negligence is generally a wrongful death. Negligence is defined as failure to use the same care a reasonably cautious person would use in a similar circumstance.
Examples of wrongful death claims include:
If you lost a close loved one due to negligence, your life will never be the same. While no amount of compensation can replace your loved one, it can perhaps ease your financial stress. Compensation can also serve as a form of justice on behalf of your loved one.
Wrongful death cases are quite complex and emotional for those left behind. Hiring a member of our team affords you the time you need to grieve with friends and family.

These are just a few examples of damages that can make your case for compensation challenging. Hiring a member of our team places your case in qualified and experienced hands. Let us manage these and other intricate details. We will keep you informed as your case develops.
Most civil cases settle without going to trial. However, if your lawyer cannot secure a fair settlement out-of-court, they may take your case before a judge and jury.
To protect your right to a potential lawsuit, you must file your case within the required statute of limitations. Louisiana law allows one year for pursuing wrongful death compensation.
Twelve months is incredibly short as you deal with such a significant life change. Once the deadline for filing your lawsuit passes, there is generally no second chance to file your case.
