Dealing with an injury is a life-altering experience. You may be coping with pain, physical therapy, and grief. When you have so much on your shoulders, the last thing you should have to worry about is bills from an accident you didn’t even cause. That’s where we come in.
The Westfield personal injury attorneys at Yosha Law Firm will advocate for every penny you and your family are entitled to. We are tireless advocates who will fight for your rights until justice is served.
Let us be the shoulder you lean on during this difficult time. Reach out to us to learn more about your rights in Indiana. We are happy to answer your questions, and we will make sure your voice is heard.
Personal injury lawsuits are meant to make sure the innocent victims of accidents that were caused by negligence will not be stuck with the bills. Insurance companies, however, aren’t as concerned with the rights of victims. Their main goal is to give away as little of their money as possible by lowering your compensation – or denying your right to compensation entirely.
A Westfield personal injury attorney will calculate your damages to make sure you are covered both now and in the future. We won’t let the insurance companies hold onto what is rightfully yours under Indiana law. We’ll fight to get you the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Some of the damages you can be compensated for in Indiana include:
Pain and suffering is considered to be an intangible loss, along with other accident-related expenses that don’t have an exact dollar amount attached to them. For example, loss of consortium or emotional trauma. It’s important to have a lawyer review your damages to make sure these are included and calculated correctly.
The circumstances of your personal injury accident and the evidence will determine how many at-fault parties there are who may be responsible for compensating you for your losses. The more complex the case, the more potentially liable parties may be involved.
One example of a personal injury claim with more than one liable party would be a defective product injury case in which a manufacturer created a defective product, and then a distributor sold it despite knowing the risks and not informing buyers. In this case, both the manufacturer and distributor may be responsible for your damages.
Your Indiana personal injury lawyer will identify all potentially liable parties and get to work collecting evidence to build a strong case against each one.
If you or a loved one was injured due to another party’s negligence, we are here for you. These are some of the most common types of personal injury claims we represent in Westfield, IN:
If you don’t see your specific type of accident or injury on the list, we can still help. Reach out to us to learn more about your legal options in Indiana.
In order to get a settlement or court award, your Westfield personal injury attorneys must prove that each defendant owed you a duty of care, failed to uphold that duty, and as a result, you were injured and now have injury-related losses.
To prove a personal injury case, your lawyer will need to present evidence that proves that the at-fault party or parties behaved in a negligent manner. This could mean they acted recklessly, they acted without care for others, or they failed to act when they should have.
To support your case, your attorney may use the following types of evidence:
When your lawyer consults with expert witnesses, you won’t have to worry about paying for their fee up front. Expert testimony is a part of a contingency plan, which means these are expenses that will be covered only after your case has successfully concluded. If you don’t get a settlement or court award, you will not have to pay for expert witnesses out of your own pocket.
Legally, you are not required to retain a personal injury lawyer. Does that mean it is a good idea to represent yourself? Definitely not. In fact, if you don’t have a lawyer standing by your side, the insurance companies will know you are vulnerable and may take advantage of you.
Insurance agents are betting on the fact that you won’t understand the true value of your claim, you won’t have the skills to negotiate with them, and you won’t fully understand your rights under the law. This is a strong bet for them to make, since time and again it has paid off.
Hiring a lawyer shows the insurance companies that you are serious, and it also makes financial sense. Studies have shown that with a lawyer you are more likely to end up with a favorable settlement – one that is larger than you would have otherwise been granted, even after you deduct for your attorney’s fees.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis, meaning we take a percentage of any settlement or court award our client receives. The specific contingent fee percentage can vary, but typically falls within these guidelines:
Contingent fees reward lawyers only if they obtain compensation for their clients. This gives us incentive to maximize damages and provides you with affordable access to representation. We will make sure you understand the details of your payment agreement before you sign it.
According to IC § 34-11-2-4, in Indiana, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit is generally two (2) years from the date of the accident or injury.
Some key details on Indiana’s time limit for personal injury claims:
It is critical injury victims in Indiana promptly explore your legal options and file claims well ahead of two years to preserve the right to pursue compensation. Your personal injury lawyers in Westfield can provide specific guidance on the timeline for a particular personal injury case.
