The family of 25-year-old IU law student Purva Sethi is suing for Sethi's Feb. 8 death, claiming it as a wrongful death, according to a press release from Greene and Shultz Trial Lawyers.
Sethi’s parents Sanjay and Neelam Sethi made her fiance Jordan Saner the personal representative of her estate, according to the release.
Sethi was killed while crossing inside a crosswalk at South Washington and East Third streets, four blocks away from campus. Mark Sproat was driving an SUV that evening and failed to yield to Sethi when he made a right turn, according to the release. The lawsuit accuses Sproat of negligence.
Saner asked the court to determine a monetary award during the trial to pay for medical, funeral, burial and court expenses, according to the release.
