What families can do next
When your family loses a child, you may face many decisions at once. Keep the police case number and copies of medical, funeral, and insurance records together. A guide to records to bring to a legal consultation can help you organize those documents.
Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your options. Indiana's crime victims compensation program may help with some costs. If an insurer requests a statement or medical release, review what to consider before responding.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
