What is the definition of wrongful death?
Wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of the wrongdoing of another. This includes wrongful death claims arising from negligence, fraud, or intentional torts. Wrongful death also refers to situations in which a person dies as a result of someone else's carelessness or mistake. There are two types of wrongful death cases: those brought by the victim's family and those brought by a personal injury lawyer. In wrongful death cases, the deceased's family typically seeks compensation for the loss of love, companionship, and support that the deceased would have provided. In addition to monetary compensation, these families seek non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, grief, and loss of enjoyment of life. These types of damages are typically awarded when the victim's death was caused by the negligent or intentional conduct of another person. Personal injury claims, in contrast to wrongful death claims, are brought by a victim's family in order to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other economic losses.
Do I need a wrongful death attorney?
A wrongful death lawyer is a lawyer who assists families following the death of a loved one. These attorneys work to obtain compensation for the loss of loved ones. They accomplish this by filing a wrongful death claim to assist families in dealing with the emotional, physical, financial, and other consequences of their loved one's death.

What types of damages can be recovered in a wrongful death case?
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by a family member or friend of the deceased to recover damages for the loss of the decedent's life and the harm done to his or her family and friends. It is a civil lawsuit filed in a court of law. A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the deceased person's personal representative. The personal representative must be appointed by the court. In Indiana, the personal representative may be the decedent's spouse, children, siblings, parents, or any other person standing in loco parentis to the decedent.
