The Louisiana wrongful death action is provided
in Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315.2. This article
provides a hierarchy of beneficiaries which is identical
to that of the survival action. The principal difference
is that each beneficiary has a separate action for
wrongful death, unique unto each beneficiary. Some
beneficiaries may have significant actions for their
damage, while others may have no action at all e.g.,
if the court found that as to some claimants the
death of the decedent was good riddance.
The article basically states that if a person dies
due to the fault of another, suit may be brought
by the following persons to recover damages:
- The surviving spouse and child or children
of the deceased, or either the spouse or the child
or children.
- The surviving father and mother of the deceased,
or either of them if he left no spouse or child
surviving.
- The surviving brothers and sisters of the deceased,
or any of them, if he left no spouse, child, or
parent surviving.
- The surviving grandfathers and grandmothers
of the deceased, or any of them, if he left no
spouse, child, parent, or sibling surviving.
If one of the above applies in your situation,
Louisiana law permits you, as the surviving beneficiary
of the deceased, to present evidence of the loss
which you suffered as a result of the death. In
addition to loss of future economic support, these
damages may include loss of the love, affection
and companionship of the decedent, and the grief
and anguish of the survivor in question.
