Wrongful Death
If someone you loved has died through the wrongful actions of another, you may be wondering if the legal system can provide you with justice. In Indiana, the decedent’s beneficiaries can file an action for wrongful death.
While you are grieving, it can be difficult to realize how important it is to act promptly to investigate the potential wrongful death action. Crucial evidence needed to prove the case can be lost through delays. Witnesses need to be talked to immediately, while their memory is still fresh. And, it may take time to determine correctly all of the responsible parties.
The damages in a wrongful death action vary and depend on many factors, including:
Pain and suffering and mental anguish
Loss of future earnings
Loss of services, companionship, care, protection and guidance
Actual expenses, including funeral expenses and related medical bills
If your spouse, parent or child died due to the fault of another person or a company, call me today for your free consultation, or complete the online questionnaire. Please let me help you through these difficult times.
If your loved one was unmarried and there are no living parents or children, you still may have a wrongful death action. Please call me so that we can discuss your potential claim.
If you are already talking to an insurance company about a claim related to the loss of a loved one, it is especially important to consult with an attorney. The insurance company is not on your side. The claims adjuster’s job is to save money for the company, not to fully compensate people for their losses.
