ABOUT THIS AREA OF LAW
Nothing can prepare you for the unexpected loss of a loved one due to a sudden and preventable accident. Although we cannot erase the loss you are experiencing, we will compassionately fight for your rights and help you recover financial compensation for your suffering, mental anguish, and economic loss. Beyond financial compensation, our attorneys are dedicated to providing you with support and relief during this uncertain time.
NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGES OF A WRONGFUL DEATH CASE
Wrongful death cases can be complex and require highly skilled representation. Unlike personal injury cases, there are provisions specifying who is entitled financial restitution and what damages may be recovered. Indiana law generally limits eligibility of wrongful death damages to the estate and immediate family members, including spouses, children, parents, and in some cases, other relatives or dependents.
GEISLEMAN & BROWN LLP CAN HELP
It is our goal to obtain the best resolution possible for your case whether it be a settlement or trial jury. Preparing each case as if it were going to trial, we will investigate your claim and ensure we fully understand the extent of your loss to effectively convey this to a jury of your peers if necessary.
