Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the death of a person caused by the negligence of another. The claim is brought on behalf of a surviving spouse, child, or parent of the "decedent." A wrongful death claim may result from the following situations among many others:
- Automobile collisions
- Work-related accidents
- Criminal attacks
- Medical negligence
- Nursing home negligence
Indiana law only permits certain family members to recover compensation as a result of a loved one's death. The law also limits the amount and type of compensation that a family member can recover depending on whether the decedent was an adult with dependent family members or without dependent family members.
