Wrongful Death

Louisiana Accidental Death Attorney

After a fatal car accident, truck accident, or industrial accident, surviving family members are often left with an overwhelming assortment of emotional, practical, financial, and legal challenges and problems. An experienced wrongful death attorney is a valuable asset to a widow, widower, or surviving children or parents during a time of grief and readjustment. Clients of Creighton, Richards & Higdon appreciate the load that is lifted when they entrust their cases to the law firm.

Contact Creighton, Richards & Higdon to learn how we can help after you have lost a loved one in an offshore refinery or manufacturing plant. We understand how to craft compelling cases for compensation for survivors after an accidental death on the job or in traffic. We work with economists and other expert witnesses to document the total financial impact on surviving spouses, children, and other dependents when a wage earner is killed in an on-the-job explosion or truck crash.

We are equally well prepared to negotiate outside of court, or to go to court as necessary in pursuit of full compensation after a family member has died in an auto accident or oil refinery disaster. We adapt our approach to the needs of each case: informal negotiations, mediation, formal negotiations, arbitration, or court trials. We have the resources, the ability, and the will to take a case to court as needed. In most cases, our careful preparation and our reputation for firm advocacy result out-of-court settlements in our clients' favor.
