Note by Collin S. Buisson
This note explains and analyzes the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Juneau v. State ex rel. Department of Health and Hospitals, 2015-1382 (La. App. 1 Cir. 7/7/16);197 So. 3d 398. The First Circuit held that the nieces and nephews of a personal injury claimant who died while his claim was still pending could not recover proceeds from his suit, since their mother—the claimant's sister—predeceased the claimant.
