Do You Need To File A Wrongful Death Claim?

 

Did A Family Member Experience A Wrongful Death?

Dealing with the death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences one has to endure in life. Envisioning a future without your spouse, brother, uncle, mother or child can be even more difficult when the family members dies as a result of negligence by another person or entity. While bringing back the loved one is impossible, the family member has the legal right to hold negligent parties accountable for this horrific, life-altering experience. The family member also has the potential to receive some level of financial compensation, which can help them move on after the loss with some degree of stability.

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death is the technical term under state law for the civil liability of a defendant for the accidental or intentional death of an individual. Most wrongful death cases involve negligence, as in a fatal accident or an episode of medical malpractice, but homicide can also support a claim for wrongful death damages. Ever since 1954, the attorneys at Young & Young Law have helped Indiana families deal with the trauma of the sudden loss of a loved one while working to achieve their future financial security through civil litigation. At Young & Young, we seek to help you with the immediate demands of probate and estate administration while we develop and present your claim for wrongful death damages.

7 Steps You Need to Take in Wrongful Death Cases

If a person has died due to someone else’s actions or negligence, their spouse, as their representative, can file a lawsuit for wrongful death against the responsible individual or entity in order to obtain financial compensation.

The seven crucial steps to filing a wrongful death claim include:

  1. Consult with experienced wrongful death lawyers to resolve the preventable death case
  2. Obtain a death certificate copy of the deceased individual
  3. Appoint an administrator or personal representative for the wrongful death victim
  4. Identify all survivors with the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit
  5. File all the necessary paperwork to take preventable death action before the expiration of the statute of limitations
  6. Review the insurance coverage of all insurance companies involved in the case
  7. Identify the costs of medical treatment for their injuries, funeral costs, loss of income, and other claims to determine financial compensation
