Indianapolis Workplace Death lawyers
Losing a loved one in an accident is overwhelming. The loss is even more heartbreaking when it turns out that the workplace death could have been prevented.
A workplace death is a death that occurs while the person was on the job, the right to sue may change. Under the Indiana’s Worker’s Compensation Act, an employee who elects to take worker’s compensation does not have a right to sue his employer for injuries in the workplace. I.C. § 22-3-2-6. If the decedent accepts workmen’s compensation and gives up his right to sue, beneficiaries or surviving relatives also cannot sue for wrongful death. I.C. § 22-3-2-6.

Our investigators will research and recover all necessary physical evidence, contact key witnesses, and preserve documentation that is pertinent to your case. If a person’s death on the job was due to the negligent actions of a third party, however, Indiana’s worker’s compensation statute allows dependents to pursue a wrongful death suit against the third party, regardless of whether the decedent elected for workmen’s compensation through his employer. I.C. § 22-3-2-13.
In all matters involving workplace death it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations. If a loved one has been a victim of wrongful death, call our workplace death attorneys now.
