What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

According to Indiana Code § 34-23-1-1, wrongful death happens when someone’s fatal accident is caused by another person’s negligence or wrongful actions.

Wrongful death lawsuits aim to hold the responsible party accountable and provide financial support to the deceased person’s family.

Examples of Wrongful Death Cases

If someone could have pursued a personal injury lawsuit for the accident had they survived, their family may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit instead. Wrongful death cases occur when negligence or wrongful actions result in fatal injuries. Below are examples of situations that may lead to wrongful death lawsuits:

Slip & Fall Accidents: Falls caused by unsafe conditions, such as unmarked hazards or poorly maintained properties, can result in fatal injuries.
Motor Vehicle Accidents: This includes car, truck, and motorcycle crashes caused by negligent driving, such as speeding, distracted driving, or improper vehicle maintenance.
Product Liability: Defective drugs or products, including faulty car parts, unsafe appliances, or dangerous medications, can lead to fatal accidents or injuries.
Medical Malpractice: Mistakes such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or improper treatments can result in a patient's death.
Workplace Accidents: Fatalities in dangerous work environments, like construction sites, often occur due to unsafe conditions or equipment failures.

While no amount of compensation can make up for such a loss, holding the responsible party accountable may help provide financial relief and a sense of justice.

Evidence Needed to Prove Negligence

Proving negligence in a wrongful death lawsuit requires strong evidence to show that another party’s actions or breach of duty caused the fatal accident. Collecting and presenting the right evidence is crucial for building a successful case. Below are key types of evidence often used in wrongful death lawsuits:

Accident Reports: Police reports or workplace incident reports provide official documentation of what happened and may identify who was at fault.
Witness Statements: Testimonies from individuals who saw the accident can provide valuable details about the events leading up to the incident.
Medical Records: Documentation of the medical treatment received before the accident can demonstrate the severity of injuries and how they contributed to the loss.
Photographs and Videos: Visual evidence of the accident scene, hazardous conditions, or vehicle damage can help establish negligence.
Expert Testimonies: Professionals such as accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, or product engineers can explain how negligence led to the accident.
Rideshare or Employer Records: In cases involving rideshare drivers or workplace accidents, app activity logs or employment records can provide information about the responsible party’s actions at the time.

Having comprehensive evidence not only helps prove negligence but also helps ensure that all damages are accounted for. A wrongful death lawyer in Anderson can help gather and present this evidence to build a compelling case and work toward securing the compensation your family deserves.

On 03-30-25 I was T-boned in an auto accident in Columbus, IN. My injuries were: 5 broken ribs; one displaced, whiplash, numbness in my left arm and hand and bleeding around my spleen. I give all Glory to God that He protected me and that I’m still  breathing. A couple of days at IU Health, I called Ken Nunn’s Law Office. They took my case and what a GREAT, PHENOMENAL, EXCEPTIONAL experience it was. It wasn’t only about the settlement that I received, it was the compassion that Vicky, Christy and Blake showed towards me. God forbid anyone to be injured in anyway, but if you are I encourage you to call Ken Nunn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken Nunn’s law office took on my injury case about two years ago. They gave me expert help and legal assistance throughout the entire process. Daniel Gore was my designated attorney and guided me through the process to resolve the case fairly. He was wonderful to work with and such an encouragement as I navigated a deposition and a settlement. The whole team at their office worked together seamlessly. They handled so many details in the case, checked up on me monthly, and always asked how I was doing. I could tell they really cared! I could not have asked for a better office to help me! And the best thing, we got a positive outcome! I highly recommend them for litigation matters. They tend to all the many details and know how to get the job done!

You Could Be Entitled to Financial Compensation

If someone you love passed away due to negligence, your family may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for the losses caused by the accident. A wrongful death lawsuit can help ease the financial burden by covering:

Medical Bills: Costs for medical care received before the accident.
Funeral and Burial Expenses: Necessary and reasonable costs associated with honoring your loved one.
Lost Income: Compensation for the financial support your loved one would have provided to your family.
Emotional Losses: Damages related to the loss of companionship, guidance, and support.

Under Indiana law, these damages are divided to meet specific needs, such as covering medical and funeral costs for the estate while providing the remaining compensation to dependents. Proving these losses requires strong evidence and careful legal guidance.

The Ken Nunn Law Office understands how difficult this time can be, and we are here to help you seek justice. During your free consultation, we will discuss your options and help you take the first step toward holding the responsible party accountable.

Anderson Wrongful Death FAQs

Who Can Sue for Wrongful Death Damages?

A legal claim can be started by the personal representative of the person who passed away. This is often a family member, such as a spouse, or someone appointed to manage the deceased person’s estate.

Who Gets the Money From a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Compensation from a wrongful death case is first used to cover necessary expenses, such as medical bills and funeral costs, which are paid through the deceased person’s estate. Any remaining compensation is distributed to the spouse, children, or other dependents. If there are no dependents, the funds can be used to pay for final care and estate management expenses.

How Long Do You Have to Initiate a Lawsuit for Wrongful Death?

Indiana law requires wrongful death claims to be filed within 2 years of the accident. Failing to file within this timeframe may result in losing the right to pursue compensation.

Do Indiana Wrongful Death Lawsuits Include Pain & Suffering Damages?

Wrongful death lawsuits in Indiana generally do not allow for compensation related to the deceased person’s pain and suffering. However, families may be entitled to recover compensation for their own emotional losses, such as the loss of companionship, support, and guidance.
