What is a wrongful death claim?
When the death of a person is caused by the negligence or otherwise wrongful act (or failure to act) by another, a wrongful death claim may be filed to hold the wrongdoer accountable and to recover monetary compensation. The type of compensation allowed depends upon the particular circumstances of the case. It is not uncommon, however, for the compensation allowed to include reimbursement for medical and hospital bills, funeral and burial expenses, compensation for the loss of the person’s love and companionship, and lost earnings.
Why is it important to consult a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible?
The law involving wrongful death claims or lawsuits in Indiana is very complex. Anyone with questions about a wrongful death claim, or who may considering filing a wrongful death claim, should consult with a qualified wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. There are several reasons for this. First, there are important deadlines which may apply to the case. It is crucial to determine as early as possible which of these deadlines will apply in your case. Determining which of these deadlines are applicable in a given case can be a complicated task, as it depends upon the particular facts of the case, including the type of defendants that may be involved, and other factors.
It is also important to act quickly to preserve important evidence that may be needed to prove the case. The sooner this investigation is begun, the better. Witnesses memories tend to fade; therefore, it is important to consider obtaining witness statements as soon as possible. It may also be important to obtain photos, medical records, and other information quickly to ensure it is available if needed to prove the case.
