If you lost a loved one due to another party’s negligence, you may have the right to recover damages. You may be wondering how much it will cost to file a wrongful death suit.
At Chris Corzo Injury Attorneys, we handle wrongful death claims in Baton Rouge and throughout Louisiana on a contingency fee basis to help make it easier for you to file suit to recover compensation from the responsible parties. With a contingency fee agreement, we will be paid a percentage of the total compensation we recover for you.
That percentage, plus expenses we advance on your behalf, will be deducted from your recovery. The cost depends on the complexity of your case.

What Is a Contingency Fee Agreement in a Wrongful Death Suit?
A contingency fee means your attorney’s fees are contingent on them recovering your compensation. If they do not recover compensation for you, they get paid nothing.
At Chris Corzo Injury Attorneys, we handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis so you can vigorously pursue the compensation you are entitled to without risking your own money upfront.
When we begin representing you, we will enter into a written agreement designating what percentage of your compensation we will be paid as attorney fees.
When we recover compensation for you, we will deduct the agreed upon percentage as our fees. In addition to our attorney fees, we will deduct the expense and costs we incurred in pursuing your claim. These costs may include court filing fees, deposition costs, and other necessary expenses we paid advance on your behalf.
Contingency fee agreements help level the playing field and allow injury victims to seek recovery for their damages in situations where they would not be able to pay the upfront expenses and attorney fees to hire an attorney.
How Much Compensation Can I Recover in a Wrongful Death Suit?
The amount of compensation you recover depends on numerous factors. In a successful Louisiana wrongful death claim, you may be able to recover for the loss of the defendant’s financial support, loss of companionship, and the cost of funeral and burial expenses.
You may also be able to recover compensation through a Louisiana survival action. This compensation may include the medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering of the decedent before their death as a result of the accident or incident that caused their death.
Why Do I Need a Wrongful Death Attorney to File a Suit?
Being represented by a Louisiana wrongful death attorney will significantly increase your chances of recovering maximum compensation. Your attorney will investigate your loved one’s accident to determine all causes and liable parties, uncover evidence to support your claim, and help ensure that your damages are all included and accurately valued.
They will work to negotiate a fair and quick settlement of your claim. If a fair settlement is not reached, they will take your case to trial to demand the compensation you deserve.
