How Personal Injury Claims Work
If someone else's negligence caused your injury, whether in a slip and fall, dog attack, or another incident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
To win a personal injury claim, you must prove that the other party was negligent and that their actions directly caused your injury. This often requires gathering evidence, working with experts, and negotiating with insurance companies. Your case may proceed to trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered.
You don’t have to handle any of the above alone.
Former Insurance Defense Attorney Working for You
Before founding his practice, David spent years representing insurance companies in personal injury and workers’ compensation litigation. He knows how they operate, how they evaluate claims, where they look for weaknesses, and the tactics they use to avoid paying full value.
David uses that inside knowledge to benefit you. He builds strong, strategic cases that anticipate and counter the insurance company’s approach, giving you a real advantage when it matters most.
When you work with our firm, you work directly with David; he can guide you through every step of the process with honesty, compassion, and fierce advocacy.
Delaying legal help after an injury can seriously hurt your case. Here's why it's essential to act quickly:
- Evidence can disappear. Surveillance footage, witness memories, and accident scene details fade with time.
- Insurance companies move fast. They may push you into giving statements or accepting lowball settlements before you know your rights.
- Legal deadlines apply. Indiana law generally gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss it, and your right to compensation may be gone.
- Proper medical documentation matters. Gaps in treatment or missing records can reduce your settlement.
- Your case gets stronger with early legal guidance. The sooner we start, the better we can protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
