Who Can Sue for Wrongful Death?

According to Louisiana law, the following individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim:

  • The spouse of the deceased
  • A child of the deceased (if there is no spouse)
  • The parents of the deceased (if there are no children)
  • The siblings of the deceased (if there are no parents)
