Filing A Wrongful Death Claim In Indianapolis

This is a civil action you can file when a person loses their life due to the recklessness of others. These claims exist to acknowledge that a life was taken too soon and to provide financial stability for the surviving family members. 

These cases often arise from preventable tragedies where safety was ignored. Common situations that lead to wrongful death claims include:

• Workplace Accidents: When employers fail to provide safe equipment or training, leading to fatal injuries on construction sites or in factories
• Medical Malpractice: When health care professionals make critical errors in diagnosis or surgery
• Car Accidents: Fatal collisions involving commercial trucks, cars, or motorcycles caused by reckless drivers
• Defective Products: When manufacturers sell dangerous goods that cause fatal harm to consumers

We investigate these incidents to determine exactly how the negligence occurred and who is responsible.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?

Indiana law is very specific about who is allowed to file this type of lawsuit. You cannot simply file a claim because you are a family member; you must have the legal authority to act on behalf of the deceased.

If the deceased person was an adult, the personal representative of their estate must file the claim. This is often a person named in the victim’s will or a family member whom the court appointed. 

While the personal representative files the lawsuit, they do so to recover money for the beneficiaries. These include the surviving spouse and dependent children.

If the victim was a child, the parents or legal guardians have the direct right to file the lawsuit.

Why Work With Attorney Kevin Bowen’s Team

Wrongful death cases are legally complex and emotionally draining. Insurance companies and corporate defense teams often try to minimize the value of a life to protect their profits. They may even try to blame the victim. You need a partner who will stand between you and these aggressive tactics.

We differentiate ourselves by preparing every case for trial from day one. We do not look for the quickest settlement; we look for the result that truly honors your loved one. We have recovered millions for families because we take the time to build undeniable evidence of negligence.

Indiana generally enforces a strict two-year deadline from the date of death to file a claim. If you wait too long, you lose your right to justice forever. We ensure every legal deadline is met so your family is never left behind.
