Indiana Personal Injury Wrongful Death attorney / Lawyer

Whether your wrongful death or personal injury claim involves a surgeon's negligence or a severe animal bite, we believe in aggressive and proactive pursuit for your rights. The earlier we can get involved in your case, the better.

Our ability to build up and show the facts that will prove the defendant's liability depends on the protection of evidence, witness’s information, and quick involvement of forensic experts to examine and document the evidence.

Car Accidents

In most car accident cases, an Indiana car accident attorney's advice can help you avoid lowball settlement and improve the possibility of getting the damage recovery you desire. We make sure that every factor of your car accident is documented, investigated, and used to get the most for pain and suffering. Compensation can include medical expenses and lost wages to repairing your vehicle and car rental

Slip and Falls

No handrails, dark or poorly maintained stairs, and oily surfaces in stores or parking lots can make the simple act of walking dangerous. Often, slipping and falling will result in nothing more than a bruise. But on occasion, a sprain or tear in the soft tissues of the ankle or knee can result which necessitates surgery and an extended period of painful recuperation. For an elderly person, a simple fall can cause a permanent loss of mobility and the ability to live independently.

Workplace Accidents

Workers' comp claims are intended to be a compromise between an employee's need for compensation from a workplace injury and the employer's interest in avoiding liability for the pain and suffering the employee went through. To this end, Indiana workers' compensation law stipulates that an injured employee's damages will be limited to lost income and medical treatment. The law also says the employee will not need to prove negligence or fault the part of the employer.

Wrongful Death Cases

Indiana State law dictates the limits of damages that may be awarded to the survivors of a person who died as a result of another's negligence or wrongful act.
The precise components of a wrongful death claim are also limited by whether he or she was an adult or a child, or had dependents. While medical and funeral expenses are always eligible for recovery in a wrongful death lawsuit, other elements of the survivors' loss are limited.
