Devoted to Helping Surviving Family Members After a Loved One's Death
There are tragic events in every person's life. Time can ultimately heal some of these wounds. Some tragic events, however, you may never fully get over. The untimely loss of a child, spouse or parent is one such life-altering event. If you have lost someone due to another's negligent, reckless or wrongful conduct, the emotional scars may never fully heal. With that said, you still have a life to lead. One way to achieve a measure of closure and recover from the financial loss of your loved one is through a wrongful death suit. In these situations, it is important to have experienced legal counsel on your side.
The Indianapolis wrongful death attorneys of Jacobs Law LLC help families in the aftermath of a tragic loss. We understand the limits of what a wrongful death lawsuit can accomplish. A wrongful death claim can, however, help your family recover the financial resources you have lost as a result of the wrongful death.
Wrongful death can occur in number of different circumstances, including automobile accidents, workplace accidents, or by medical malpractice. Under Indiana law, the family can bring a wrongful death claim for:
- Reasonable medical, hospital, funeral and burial expenses caused by the wrongful act or omission that caused the adult person's death
- Lost earnings
Spouses and dependent children can also recover damages for the loss of the adult person's love and companionship. Our law firm will look closely at the events that led to your loved one's death and work tirelessly to hold those parties accountable for your losses.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
