Important Indiana Wrongful Death Information
When someone dies due to the negligence or deliberate actions of another, it is considered wrongful death. If you lost a family member to wrongful death, you can seek compensation for your financial and personal losses.
In Indiana, wrongful death lawsuits are initiated by the personal representative of your loved one’s estate. The personal representative acts on behalf of the surviving family. When damages are recovered, they are given to the eligible surviving family members.
What Types Of Damages Can You Recover After A Wrongful Death?
The types of damages you can recover after a wrongful death include economic and noneconomic damages.
Economic damages can include:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Medical bills from the injury or illness that caused the death
- Loss of the deceased’s income and future earnings and benefits
- Loss of household services that the deceased provided to the family
Noneconomic damages often include:
- Emotional distress of the family
- Conscious pain and suffering of the deceased
- Loss of emotional support and love
- Loss of parental care and guidance
When we review your case, we will discuss what you can expect regarding damages.
Wrongful Death Has Many Causes

- Car accidents

- Dangerous products
- Medical malpractice and nursing home negligence
We will treat your family with care as we work to recover the compensation you need to pay the bills and move forward.
