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

You are entitled to knowing your options and alternatives for your wrongful death claim. Consult an Indianapolis wrongful death lawyer at Hovde Dassow + Deets.

  • "Rick Hovde handled all of the communication & worked with the insurance company on our mother's behalf."
    My brother and I reached out to Rick Hovde for assistance dealing with the insurance company after our mother was struck by a car. Mom required surgery and a 2-month rehab stay. Rick was great! He explained to us what we could expect as none of us had any experience in this type of situation. Rick handled all of the communication and worked with the insurance company and Medicare to get the best possible settlement for our mother. I recommend Rick and his firm - you'll be very glad you did!

    I can’t thank Nick Deets and his staff enough for assisting me with my personal injury case. It was confusing and very emotional in the beginning.
