Indiana's wrongful death statute generally requires the claim to be brought by the personal representative of the estate, with recovery flowing to surviving spouses, children, or dependents.
Who May Bring the Claim
What Can Be Recovered
Damages can include medical and funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of love and companionship, subject to statutory rules that differ for adults and children.
The Deadline
Wrongful death claims have their own time limits. Acting promptly preserves evidence and protects the family's rights.
