Wrongful Death

Indiana Wrongful Death Attorneys

Losing a loved one unexpectedly can be particularly painful. In addition to dealing with grief, shock and emotional distress, if the death was caused wrongfully or was accidental, the situation can also bring additional pain, heartache and anger.



When a loved one is lost too soon, a feeling of emptiness can consume survivors. A spouse or partner may wonder how he or she will live out their golden years. A parent may wish he or she had passed before the child. Loved ones may struggle with coping with never being able to say goodbye.

Is Your Loved One the Victim of a Wrongful Death?

There are many ways that individuals can become the victim of a wrongful death. In these cases, the death was often sudden or unexpected. The death likely involved the decisions or action of another person. Examples of situations that can end in wrongful death include:


  • Vehicle accidents
  • Medical malpractice situations, failure to diagnose or medical errors
  • Criminal acts and crimes against persons
  • Abuse, including domestic violence, elder abuse and child abuse
  • Workplace accidents


We know we cannot begin to heal your heartache, but we can offer solutions to the financial pain associated with the loss of a loved one through wrongful death.

The Financial Burdens Associated With Wrongful Deaths

Not only do you have to suffer the loss of a loved one, but as a survivor, you are likely also bearing financial burdens tied to the death. This is particularly true if your spouse or partner died, and if the deceased was the sole provider for your household. You are likely left handling medical bills, funeral expenses and loss of income to provide for dependents such as children.

Other Ways Wrongful Death Impacts Your Life

In addition to financial burdens, following the wrongful death of a loved one you may suffer from loss of love and affection, loss of companionship, emotional distress, personal stress, depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions. Children may need extra support and grief counseling.
