The Typical Settlement Amount for a Wrongful Death Claim
There is no typical or average settlement amount for a wrongful death claim in Indiana. Just like other types of personal injury cases, every wrongful death claim is unique. The facts of your situation will determine the damages you could pursue in your case.
IC 34-23-1-1 is the Indiana wrongful death statute. It provides that compensation in a successful wrongful death case can include the direct out-of-pocket expenses caused by your loved one’s death, such as the medical bills for the fatal wounds and the reasonable cost of the funeral and burial.
Also, monetary damages for wrongful death can include other things like:
- Loss of the love and companionship of the decedent
- Loss of the guidance in education the deceased person provided
- Loss of inheritance because of the untimely death
- Loss of the income and support the decedent provided to the legal beneficiaries
- Loss of anticipated increases in assets like the deceased person’s retirement account
- The emotional pain and suffering the survivors experienced because of the death of their loved one
In determining the dollar value of money damages like lost income, the decedent’s age, health, life expectancy, and earnings history will matter.
What to Do After a Loved One’s Wrongful Death
Everyone grieves differently after the loss of a beloved family member. No one should try to dictate how you come to terms with your emotional distress and suffering. We can, however, offer some guidance about steps you might want to take to protect your legal rights and the monetary value of your wrongful death claim.
- Connect with one of our wrongful death attorneys as soon as possible. Evidence can deteriorate or even disappear within a matter of days after a fatal accident. You might know who was guilty of causing the death of your loved one, but without evidence, you might not be able to prove it. A lawyer from our firm will collect all the necessary evidence.
- Do not make a statement in any public setting about the event that led to the death of your close family member. People rarely know all the facts immediately. Your words could get used against you even if you were merely passing on information you received from others.
- Take care of yourself and your family. When you have our wrongful death lawyer handling your legal matters, you can focus on what really matters and let us fight your battles for you.
- Avoid confrontations or any other interaction with the likely defendant or their circle of family, friends, or coworkers.
Depending on your circumstances, there might be other steps you need to take as well.
Who Can Sue the Party Responsible for Your Loved One’s Death?
The personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. The estate will receive compensation for the medical bills, funeral costs, and burial expenses. The eligible dependents like a surviving spouse and children will receive the other compensatory portion of the award.
