Wrongful Death
A Voice for the Voiceless, A Fight for the Future
There is no greater tragedy than losing a loved one due to the reckless or negligent actions of another. The sudden, preventable death of a family member leaves a void that can never be filled and a pain that can never be fully healed. In the midst of overwhelming grief, the thought of navigating a complex legal system can seem impossible. Yet, this is the very moment when a powerful, compassionate, and resolute legal advocate is most essential—not only to secure the financial stability your family needs to move forward, but to demand accountability and honor the memory of the one you lost.
At Sartin Law Firm, we consider it our solemn duty to stand with families who have suffered this ultimate injustice. We provide more than just legal representation; we provide a pillar of strength. With profound empathy for your loss and an unyielding resolve for justice, we meticulously build a powerful case to hold the at-fault parties fully responsible for the life they have taken and the future they have irrevocably altered.
Holding Negligence Accountable for the Ultimate Harm
A wrongful death claim arises when a person or corporation’s negligence or misconduct directly causes a fatality. It is a civil action brought by the surviving family members to seek justice and compensation for the profound losses they have been forced to endure. These tragic cases can stem from a wide range of preventable incidents.
Our firm has the deep experience and resources necessary to successfully litigate wrongful death claims arising from:
- Catastrophic Auto and Trucking Accidents: Caused by impaired, distracted, or reckless drivers and negligent trucking companies.
- Workplace and Industrial Tragedies : Resulting from a company’s failure to maintain a safe environment, provide proper training, or adhere to federal and state safety regulations (OSHA)
- Dangerous and Defective Products – Holding manufacturers accountable when their unsafe products lead to a fatal accident.
- Premises Liability – When a death is caused by dangerously unsafe conditions on someone else’s property.
Securing the Compensation Your Family Deserves
While no amount of money can ever replace a loved one, a successful wrongful death claim can provide the essential financial resources your family needs to cope with the aftermath of a tragedy and achieve a measure of security for the future. Louisiana law allows eligible family members to seek compensation for the full scope of their devastating losses.
We fight to recover damages for:
- Loss of Financial Support: Including the wages, benefits, and inheritance the deceased would have provided for the family
- Loss of Love, Companionship, and Guidance: Acknowledging the profound personal loss of a spouse, parent, or child
- Grief, Anguish, and Mental Suffering: Compensation for the immense emotional trauma endured by the surviving family members
- Medical Expenses: The cost of any medical care the deceased received between the time of injury and their passing
- Funeral and Burial Costs: The expenses associated with laying your loved one to rest
In addition, Louisiana law allows for a “survival action,” which is a claim for the conscious pain and suffering the deceased experienced before their death. We pursue every available avenue of recovery to ensure the final result is just and comprehensive.

Most wrongful death actions are based on tort theory. Often, it is not necessary that the defendant’s conduct be the sole cause of the death. Even where the defendant’s negligence contributes, with other circumstances, to the decedent’s death, the defendant may be held legally liable and responsible for damages.
Each jurisdiction may have its own statutes regarding wrongful death personal injury claims, and those rules may differ from state to state. For this reason, it is important to consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney in Louisiana or Texas who has experience with wrongful death lawsuits to understand more about the laws in your jurisdiction.
Our goal is to make sure that the survivor and beneficiaries of the victim are compensated for their loss. We are dedicated to the representation of catastrophically injured individuals and their families.
