Resources : Wrongful Death Claims

When a wrongful death is caused from someone's negligence or other wrongful conduct, Indiana has statutory provisions that govern the claim procedures.

There are several key factors that help determine proper compensation. For example, was the victim a parent with surviving minor children? Was the victim a child? Was the victim the source of the family income?

It is always of great importance to have a professional on your side to evaluate all the facts.

Our injury lawyers can help you determine the total settlement value of the claim as well as deal with the insurance companies for you.

If someone you know lost their life in an accident, here are our rules that will help protect the legal rights of their family. Please share these rules with the family members so everyone is advised and prepared:

Talk to a Lawyer First - Do not sign papers and say NO to any tape recorded conversations with the liability insurance company. The insurance company's plan and strategy to use a tape recorder is for their benefit, not yours. Be smart, talk to a lawyer. Call Lloyd Law Office 1-800-99-LLOYD for FREE legal advice.

Collect Evidence - With the tragedy of a wrongful death, immediately, get the benefit of your lawyer's expert advice and assistance regarding appropriate pictures and other documentation as evidence. You have heard the saying "A good picture is worth a thousand words." This is especially true in an accident and injury claim.
