(prHWY.com) December 14, 2012 - New Orleans, LA -- New Orleans, Louisiana (November 23, 2012) - Edward Womac, a well-respected
New Orleans injury lawyer, is offering his services to help families who have needlessly lost a loved one due to negligence.
The end goal of a wrongful death suit is to provide financial compensation to the dependents of a person killed because of the misconduct or negligence of another person. Under the tenets of Louisiana state law, dependents and immediate family members - including parents, spouses and children - are entitled to file a wrongful death action.
People who file for wrongful death damages often receive the largest settlements awarded in a court of law. Though no amount is adequate to replace a loved one, settlements are traditionally given to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions. In addition, punitive damages may be meted out as a deterrent for others.
Sadly, insurance companies do not look at the large picture. They only see people trying to get money from their company in terms of compensation. These companies will fight hard to diminish the money the claimants will get from them, and have armies of lawyers and a large "war chest" to fight against these claims.
Hiring an
experienced New Orleans personal injury attorney can help the victim's dependents in getting all the damages due to them from the negligent party. A good lawyer will fight big insurance companies looking to offer bare bones compensation proposals to the victim's relatives.
Edward Womac and his team of experienced lawyers can advise the victim's relatives on their rights and responsibilities. The lawyers at the Womac Law Firm are well equipped to handle the various tactics that insurance companies can employ, and they will help get every dollar their clients deserve.
