Common Examples Of Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury law involves a broad spectrum of accidents. In fact, these injuries are not always accidental. An injury victim could pursue a lawsuit following any careless, reckless, or intentional act that causes injuries to another person.

Motor vehicle collisions are the most common form of personal injury claim. These accidents occur every day due to the high volume of road traffic and the serious consequences that come from a crash.

Many personal injury claims result from slips, trips, and falls. When these falls occur as the result of a property owner’s carelessness, they could face liability for the injuries that occur on their property. It is possible to pursue a personal injury claim against negligent homeowners, business owners, or even government entities.

Violent assaults are a criminal offense. However, they could also result in a viable civil claim as well. When a criminal assault results in an injury, legal action is possible against the perpetrator. A property owner might share in the liability from an assault depending on the circumstances.

Some serious injuries occur as the result of a product defect. These defects could occur due to faulty design, defective manufacturing, or even the lack of instructions. It could be possible to pursue a claim against the manufacturer with the help of a personal injury attorney in Merrillville.

The Deadline To Pursue An Injury Lawsuit

There is a limited window of time to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in Merrillville. If a person fails to pursue an injury lawsuit in a timely fashion, he or she will miss out on the chance to do so forever. This legal deadline is known as the statute of limitations.

For injury lawsuits, the statute of limitations is found at Indiana Code Section 34-11-2-4. This statutory period set out by state law expires after two years. The two-year window begins to expire as soon as the injury occurs, giving injury victims little time to secure legal counsel and move forward with their claim.

There are a small number of exceptions that could extend the amount of time available to file a suit. These are generally related to legal disabilities, which include being under the age of 18. A personal injury attorney in Merrillville could advise on whether these exceptions apply in a given case.

Judicial Officials In Merrillville

In May 2021, Governor Eric Holcomb signed into legislation a new mandate that allows for additional magistrates and courts in five Indiana counties. A magistrate, a judicial officer who has limited authority and jurisdiction to hear certain cases, will be appointed by the Judge of the Lake Circuit Court to serve the Lake County and Merrillville community.

The new legislation for additional judicial resources is heavily supported by the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary after testimonies of growing caseloads and overextended resources due to COVID-19. The legislation is deemed controversial to some, as the new mandate revokes a new court, set to serve Delaware County under the pretenses of limited funding.

How A Merrillville Personal Injury Attorney Could Help

If you suffered an injury at the hands of another person, you have the right to pursue legal action against them. Holding negligent entities and individuals accountable is possible, but the process is rarely easy. A Merrillville personal injury lawyer could reduce the stress and worry of an injury claim and ensure your case is filed on time. Reach out right away to get started.
