Getting the Legal Perspective on Car Accidents – Audio Interview

Car accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs — The Hammer — sat down to address legal and safety considerations when injured from a car crash in a recent radio episode of “Ask The Hammer,” the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. There are many elements at play when knowing what to do after a car accident. Listen to the episode directly below.


Overview of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when the negligent actions of a third party end a person’s life. This can happen for several different reasons, including:

  • Poor medical care
  • Car, truck, motorcycle, or workplace accidents
  • Police misconduct
  • Use of defective products
  • Exposure to dangerous substances or conditions

Understanding Wrongful Death Liability

Wrongful death cases warrant a thorough investigation to determine liability. To determine guilt, the client must cooperate with an attorney to present evidence to support a claim.

In a wrongful death claim, the survivors of the victim must show that the defendant acted negligently and caused the death of their loved one by acting intentionally or recklessly.

It is also necessary to prove that there are surviving beneficiaries or dependents and that the death of the victim caused damages to these family members, both financially and emotionally. The attorneys at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers help their clients gather all the evidence necessary to prove these facts before a judge in court.

Common Wrongful Death FAQs

What Damages Can I Recover from a Wrongful Death Action in Indiana?

When a wrongful death claim is filed with the law, survivors can be compensated for economic losses, which include the following expenses:

  • Medical costs from the injuries of the deceased, such as hospitalization, ambulance services, medications, medical accessories, exams, medical appointments, and rehabilitation therapies, among others
  • Funeral expenses
  • Loss of general income
  • Loss of income and education to the deceased’s children
  • Loss of inheritance due to premature death
  • Pain and suffering caused to survivors
  • Loss of care, protection, and companionship of survivors

How Are Damages Calculated in Wrongful Death Cases?

Generally, the judge oversees calculating the material damages in these types of lawsuits and usually considers aspects such as:

  • The time that the victim would have lived, according to life expectancy
  • How long the deceased would have continued to work and receive income
  • How much income the victim would have made
  • How long the victim would have lived in retirement

Based on this data related to the victim’s life expectancy and income at the time of death, a court or jury can estimate the victim’s loss of income and potential retirement benefits. They can then calculate the amount of compensation for all family members.

Wrongful death cases often leave survivors of the victim in unimaginable pain. Emotional damages are very difficult to quantify but nonetheless have a monetary value. Many families seek compensation for emotional distress and mental health issues, specifically depression and anxiety. Your non-economic damages will be evaluated and quantified using a certain method.
