Wrongful Death 

If a family member's death has been caused by the negligence or wrongful conduct of another, an action may be brought to compensate family members for their loss. Wrongful death cases may arise from many causes, including automobile accidents, dangerous highway conditions, dangerous premise and work places and medical malpractice.  Added to a family's emotional trauma from the death of a loved one may be the financial burden of losing a breadwinner or homemaker. In these stressful circumstances, dealing with an insurance adjuster pursuing a quick settlement may be overwhelming.

At Forrest & Bourne, we have broad experience in wrongful death cases. As the family's attorneys we can ease the burden that a death places on the family by strongly advocating for the survivors' interests with insurance companies and, when necessary, in court.

While accepting cases throughout Indiana and Kentucky, most of our practice is in the State and Federal courts of Southern Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky. Our New Albany office is easily accessible from anywhere in Floyd County, Indiana, as well as Jeffersonville and Clark County, Indiana and Jefferson County, Kentucky.
