Families usually come here looking for stability more than anything else. Someone who understands Louisiana wrongful death cases and has actually handled them in local courts over time. Charbonnet Law Firm has been doing this work since 1967. Three generations of attorneys have represented New Orleans families in the same court system, and all five partners grew up here.
Louisiana law has changed in recent years, especially around deadlines and fault rules. They affect how quickly a case must be filed, how liability is argued, and how recovery is ultimately calculated in real courtrooms.
The firm also brings structure to cases that are often complex from the start. Wrongful death and survival claims may run together, and they can involve multiple defendants, medical evidence, or workplace investigations. Having a team that routinely manages those layers helps keep the case from stalling or being undervalued early on.
There’s no upfront cost to begin. The firm works on contingency, so the focus stays on building the case properly and pursuing a result that reflects what the family has actually lost.
