Where to File in Indiana
Indiana Code § 34-23-1-1 governs wrongful death claims for adults with dependents, and § 34-23-1-2 governs claims for adult decedents with no dependents (spouse or children) — limiting non-economic recovery to $300,000 in the latter category. When the deceased left behind a surviving spouse or minor children, Indiana wrongful death cases are not subject to a non-economic damages cap. Marion County (Indianapolis) handles the highest volume of Indiana wrongful death filings.
