Know Your Options for a Wrongful Death Claim
A wrongful death claim in Indiana must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. You can file a wrongful death claim when:
- Your loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence
- Your loved one was murdered
Common wrongful death cases involve medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, and other personal injury cases that result in death. The compensation decided upon in a wrongful death case can be awarded to the spouse, children, or other dependents of the deceased. While no amount of money can replace a beloved family member, the legal system has statutes in place to allow for financial restitution where no other means of compensation exists.
Compensation awards for a wrongful death case are typically used for the purpose of:
- Loss of love and affection
- Loss of parental guidance
- Loss of monetary support and pecuniary benefits
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses
