What is Wrongful Death? Do I have a Claim? Who can make a Claim? What Expenses can be compensated?

A wrongful death claim is when a person’s cause of death is due to the negligence of another person or entity. The State of Indiana defines wrongful death as, when the death of one is caused by the wrongful act or omission of another. The unexpected death of a loved one will be one of the most traumatic times in your life. Following an accidental death the emotional pain is overwhelming.

Families and loved ones face challenging transitions, without warning.

You may have a wrongful death claim if your family member’s death was caused by the negligence of another person or entity. If your loved one was killed by a motor vehicle accident, violent act, inadequate safety or security in a business place, or another catastrophic accident, your family may obtain compensation from the party at fault.

In the State of Indiana and in most other states, the immediate family or next to kin may make a wrongful death claim. Your family may be compensated for medical, hospital, funeral, burial, lost earnings and other expenses or damages.
