When Negligence Turns Tragic, We Help Families Find Justice

You’ve lost someone you love. Now it’s time for answers—and accountability.

No lawsuit can bring a loved one back. But a wrongful death claim can help your family get the closure, compensation, and justice you deserve. At Hall Law Firm, we stand with families across Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana who’ve lost a spouse, child, parent, or sibling due to someone else’s reckless or negligent actions.


From fatal truck crashes on I-49 to deadly slip and fall injuries in public places, we’ve seen firsthand the heartbreak our clients carry. And we’ve helped them turn grief into action—with results that hold wrongdoers accountable and protect what’s left of a family’s future.


We Represent Families in All Types of Fatal Injury Cases

Wrongful death can happen anywhere. Our team is prepared to handle the most complex and emotional cases.


We’ve helped clients pursue wrongful death claims after:


  • Truck, car, and motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
  • Falls on dangerous or poorly maintained property
  • Fatal workplace accidents (third-party liability only)
  • Product malfunctions or defective equipment
  • Criminal acts resulting from negligent security
  • DUI or drug-related crashes
  • Catastrophic injuries that later proved fatal

In every case, we work closely with your family to understand what happened, who’s responsible, and what steps we can take to hold them legally and financially accountable.

Compensation Can’t Fix Everything—But It Can Help Your Family Rebuild

You’ve already lost enough. You shouldn’t have to carry the financial burden too.

Louisiana law allows certain surviving family members—such as spouses, children, parents, or siblings—to file a wrongful death claim when someone dies due to another’s negligence.


Our attorneys pursue compensation for:


  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Final medical expenses
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of household services
  • Pain and suffering endured by the deceased before death
  • Loss of love, guidance, and companionship
  • Emotional trauma for surviving family members

We also explore whether punitive damages are available in certain cases, such as drunk driving deaths or extreme negligence.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit FAQs


  • Who can file a wrongful death claim in Louisiana?

    The law prioritizes close relatives in this order: spouse and children, then parents, then siblings, then grandparents. If no relatives exist in these categories, no claim can be filed.

  • Is a wrongful death lawsuit the same as a criminal case?

    No. A wrongful death claim is a civil case—it’s about financial compensation, not jail time. It can happen even if there’s no criminal charge or conviction.

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

    You generally have one year from the date of death to file, but it’s best to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and avoid complications.

  • What if the person who caused the death was never arrested?

    That doesn’t prevent you from filing a civil claim. The burden of proof in civil court is lower than in criminal court.

  • Can I afford a wrongful death attorney?

    Yes. We work on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.
