Recently suffered the loss of a loved one at the hands of someone else due to their negligence? Gertler Law Firm is here to support you and your family as you seek justice.
Losing a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences you can endure, especially when that loss is the result of someone else’s negligence. The pain, anger, and grief can be overwhelming, and the last thing you need is to be bogged down by legal issues and have to make your way through them on your own.
Seeking justice is still vitally important. Fortunately, in Louisiana, there are laws that protect you in these situations, and which confer the ability to seek compensation for your losses. This is truly helpful, given how much of a financial burden you will likely find yourself in following such a loss.

We do whatever it takes to truly understand your unique situation and craft the best strategy we possibly can. Everything we do comes from a place of wanting to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family, all the while allowing you to focus on healing rather than being consumed by a legal case.
What Is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness. Whether this negligence is intentional or not isn’t relevant as far as the law is concerned. Common contexts where wrongful death occurs include:
- Car accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace incidents
The underlying purpose of a wrongful death claim is to provide you and your family with some sort of financial compensation for the losses you’ve suffered as a result of your loved one’s death. Although obviously, money doesn’t make up for your loss, it can help alleviate the financial burdens you’ve incurred as a result of medical bills, funeral costs, and loss of income. More than this, it provides a measure of justice and accountability, serves to recognize your losses and holds the responsible party liable.
