(Elkhart County, IN) - The family of a woman killed in the accident that claimed the lives of Jackie Walorski and two others may file a wrongful death lawsuit.

On August 3, 56-year-old Edith Schmucker of Nappanee was killed in a head-on collision on an Elkhart County highway with a car carrying Walorski and two of her staffers.

Court papers were filed less than two weeks later seeking a special administrator for her 17-year-old son. According to a document filed in Elkhart Circuit Court, Schmucker died without a will, and two adults, Vincent Renze and Erica A. Miller, have been granted authority to seek wrongful death damages on behalf of her son.

Formal action to pursue a lawsuit has not been announced. The petition specifically appoints Renze and Miller Special Administrators of Schmucker's Estate "for the sole purpose of bringing an action concerning the decedent's alleged wrongful death."
