Losing a loved one is always a devastating experience, but it can be even more challenging when their death was caused by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing. In cases like these, surviving family members may have the option to seek justice through a wrongful death lawsuit. If you are an Indiana resident who has lost a loved one due to another party's actions, it is important to understand what a wrongful death suit covers and how you can seek compensation.
A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil action brought against a person or entity whose negligent or intentional actions led to someone's death. These lawsuits are typically filed by the deceased person's estate on behalf of their surviving family members. In Indiana, only certain individuals are allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These can include the deceased person's spouse, children, parents, or other dependents who were financially supported by the deceased. Additionally, if none of these individuals are available to file the lawsuit, a personal representative of the deceased person's estate may do so.
The elements of a wrongful death lawsuit in Indiana typically include proving that the defendant had a duty of care towards the deceased person, that they breached that duty through negligence or intentional misconduct, and that this breach directly caused the person's death. Damages in a wrongful death suit can vary depending on the circumstances of the case. They can include compensation for medical expenses related to the deceased person's final illness or injury, funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income and financial support, as well as non-economic damages such as loss of companionship and emotional distress.
