More details to this question:
on December 5 2012, my daughter, Brooke, was riding with tyler and brett in her car on a country road that everybody "drifts" down. well the teenagers do. tyler had done meth and numerous other pills before begging my daughter to drive her car. She did not know that he had done them. they ended up in the white river. my daughter died as a result of this accident from numerous internal injuries and drowning. tyler had never received a license to drive .He is only facing 8 yrs. max. I want to change the law in Indiana so he and others who kill peoples' babies while on drugs face stiff charges so they can't do it again.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. The loss of a child is not something that any parent should have to endure. Making changes to the Indiana Criminal Code would require an act of the Indiana Legislature. That is a process that would best be discussed with you local state representatives. While no amount of money could ever replace you daughter, I would recommend that you speak to an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss whether there is insurance available to help offset the costs of medical, funeral and burial expenses. The statute of limitations for filing claims is two years in Indiana, and therefore to protect your rights, a lawsuit would have to be filed by December 5, 2014 (the two year anniversary) of the accident.
