VIEW RESULTSIt is not always easy to classify personal injury cases. The category of “personal injuries” is broad, and the state of Indiana has specific requirements of parties interested in pursuing applicable compensation.
If you or a loved one endured an injury in Indiana, do not let the complexity of personal injury cases keep you from fighting for justice. Get in touch with a Bloomington personal injury lawyer for guidance.
The term “personal injury” covers a broad category of incidents that may plague an Indiana resident. Common personal injury cases involve:
Every driver on the road in Indiana owes their fellow drivers a duty of care, as established in Indiana Code §9-21-8-37. In accordance with this duty of care, motorists may be accused of negligence in personal injury accident if caught:
Addressing instances of medical malpractice in Indiana is slightly more complicated than addressing other instances of alleged personal injury. To take a medical malpractice case to civil court, Indiana Code §34-18-7-3 states that interested parties must first seek out the opinion of a medical review panel regarding their condition. The prosecution may only proceed with a case if this panel awards its approval.
Applicable instances of medical malpractice in Indiana can include failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, unnecessary surgery, surgical errors, premature discharge from a hospital, and deliberate surgical negligence.
Parties who invite others onto their property, like motorists, medical professionals, and manufacturers, owe all visitors due care. Indiana Code §34-31-11-3 states that while trespassers may not receive the same care diligence owed to invitees and licensees, there are some circumstances under which trespassers may file personal injury claims for losses faced on someone else’s property.
With this in mind, property owners who fail to maintain their property or equip it with adequate security may face charges of negligence should someone become injured on their land.
To fight for compensation after an accident, a Bloomington personal injury lawyer has to identify the responsible party. Additionally, the plaintiff’s attorney needs to prove several elements.
Personal injury cases fall under the umbrella of tort claims, a monetary claim for damages awarded based on the at fault party in an accident. When filing for a claim in Bloomington, Indiana, state law requires claimants to submit a written letter including specific information about the individual and the accident within 180 days of the event. Claimants should also include any documentation to be used as evidence for the claim. Documentation, along with the written letter, can be addressed to:
City of Bloomington, Risk Management Division, 401 N. Morton St., Suite 220,
and Bloomington, IN 47402
The court will then approve or deny the claim within 90 days of the submission.
