Hammond Wrongful Death Lawyer

The loss of a loved one changes your family dynamic and leaves you to cope with grief and stress. It can also leave a lasting financial impact on your life. When a family member’s demise is caused by the negligence of another person or entity, our Hammond wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue financial compensation. We handle the details of your case so you can focus on your family’s recovery.

At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we are passionate about helping families in your situation. We will conduct an independent investigation into the cause of your loved one’s demise. We will also document the monetary costs of your loss and negotiate with the negligent party’s insurance company on your behalf. If necessary, we will also represent you in court to recover the damages your family is entitled to.

Wrongful Death Damages in Indiana

Your family can recover damages from the person or entity who negligently caused a loved one’s demise. Understanding what you can recover is complicated and can be difficult to determine on your own. Recoverable damages vary depending upon the age of the decedent and their marital status.

According to IC § 34-23-1-1, damages can include:

  • The decedent’s medical expenses
  • The decedent’s funeral and burial costs
  • The decedent’s financial contributions
  • Loss of affection and companionship

In some wrongful death cases, the state will require proof that a “genuine, substantial, and ongoing relationship” existed. Our legal team will ensure you understand which damages are recoverable and by which family members. We will also help you define your familial tie and the strength of your relationship.

Our Law Firm Helps Families Recover Compensation

The loss of a loved one affects their entire circle of friends and family. In Indiana, the law generally allows the following family members to recover compensation after the negligence-based loss of a loved one:

  • Parent or legal guardian
  • Child
  • Spouse
  • Sibling

Certain circumstances of demise can mean other parties may be eligible to seek damages. Our wrongful death attorney will ensure you understand your right to recovery via a settlement or lawsuit. 

In addition, according to IC § 34-11-2-4, you are generally limited to two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit. Failure to file prior to the expiration date could prohibit you from filing at all. When you trust our law firm with your case, we will make sure your potential lawsuit is filed on time.

Common Causes of Wrongful Demise

Negligence, carelessness, or recklessness can take on many forms. At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we help families who lost a loved one under the following circumstances:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Dog bites or attacks
  • Rideshare accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Slip-and-fall accidents
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect

We also offer free case reviews. The best way to determine whether your family is entitled to pursue damages is to review your case with one of our wrongful death team members.

Our Law Firm does the Hard Work for Your Family

Your wrongful death case is a type of personal injury case, most of which are resolved with an out-of-court settlement. This is typically the result of the collection of evidence that is presented to the at-fault party and their legal or insurance representative. That means building a strong evidence file is the key to proving the at-fault party’s negligence and your right to recover damages. 

Our wrongful death lawyer representing families in Hammond will take the following actions on your behalf:

  • Conduct our own investigation
  • Gather compelling evidence
  • Determine the value of your case
  • Negotiate a favorable settlement
  • Represent you in court, if needed

We have recovered $2 billion in settlements for the clients we represent. Our client-focused team at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers is licensed in KY, IN, OH, NV, TX, and IL and has more than 400 years of combined legal experience. 

Read About Our Recent Case Victories

Is your family struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one? Our law firm will help you prove the cause of your loved one’s demise and hold the liable party accountable for their actions. 

Our history of settlements and verdicts for surviving family members include:

  • $1.575 million monetary recovery for the surviving family of a 35-year-old woman who was fatally injured in a bus accident.
  • $10 million monetary recovery for the family of a man who was struck head-on by a semi-truck on a local interstate.
  • $2.7 million monetary recovery after the death of a man who was crushed in the cab of his truck by a combine tractor’s wheels.

We never stop fighting for you and your family or for the monetary recovery you are entitled to. We even have Spanish-speaking team members including attorneys and paralegals. Read more about our fight for compensation for our wrongful death clients on our case victories page.

Our Family-Focused Fee Structure

Our law firm does not tax families who are already struggling through a difficult situation by charging traditional hourly attorney’s fees. Neither do we require hefty retainers to handle your case.

We represent you on a contingency fee basis. Here is how you benefit from our fee structure:

  • We review your case at no cost.
  • We cover the investigation costs.
  • We locate and interview witnesses.
  • We pay all court filing fees.
  • We negotiate a settlement.

No one should have to wait or endure financial hardship because of someone else’s careless actions. Our law firm absorbs any and all upfront fees and costs related to your case, and you pay no fees at all unless we win or settle your case.
