Five Things to Do After Your Loved One Suffers a Wrongful Death
You will have many things to deal with after the death of a loved one. You might have to make funeral arrangements and deal with many other administrative matters that become necessary when someone close to you dies. All of those issues can be overwhelming, particularly when grieving the loss of your family member.
Here are a few things that you might want to keep in mind that could make things easier later:
- Try to preserve any evidence you have, including different types of information, that could be useful if you decide to file a wrongful death claim against a negligent party.
- You might only have a few months to start the legal process if the government is a potential defendant. Time can pass quickly after a family tragedy. Soon after you get through the initial events, like the funeral and burial, you might want to talk with our Gary wrongful death lawyer about handling the claim. Too many people find out that they no longer have a legal right to damages because they missed a deadline.
- Avoid making public statements about the event that caused the death of your loved one or about the defendant. It is best to let your lawyer handle those situations. Public perception can be a fickle thing. In an emotionally-charged time, you might accidentally say something that could be misinterpreted.
- We recommend that our clients stay off of social media entirely until their wrongful death case is over. No matter what your privacy settings are on your social media account, the defendant could get access and see your photographs and posted comments. Things can get taken out of context and used to portray you or your deceased loved one in a false light.
- Avoid direct interactions or confrontations with the defendant. These situations can only make you look bad and damage your case. They cannot bring back your loved one. Let us fight your battles for you while you focus on building your future for yourself and your family.
We can provide additional guidance for our clients when they are going through the process of a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. Depending on your circumstances, we might have additional recommendations.

How Much Time You Have to File a Wrongful Death Suit in Indiana
Typically, a wrongful death lawsuit must get filed within two years. If your case involves allegations of fault on the part of a government entity, for example, police misconduct, you might only have six months to file an administrative claim and begin that process.
Missing the deadline could forever take away your right to seek compensation for your losses. The party who caused the death of your beloved family member might never be held accountable for their actions. We will ensure you don’t miss important deadlines.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Indiana
IC 34-23-1-1 says that the personal representative of the estate of your deceased loved one can bring a wrongful death claim seeking compensation from the at-fault party. The estate of the decedent can recover the medical bills from the final injury or illness and the reasonable cost of the funeral and burial.
The legal beneficiaries, including the surviving spouse and dependents, can pursue compensation for their losses, like loss of the financial support and services of the decedent, loss of the deceased person’s affection and companionship, and the survivors’ emotional pain and suffering.
