Our Legal Team Can Make Sure You File Your Lawsuit On Time
In Indiana, you must comply with the statute of limitations if you want to file a lawsuit.
According to IC § 34-11-2-4, you have about two years to file your construction accident suit, with the deadline starting from the date of the injury. However, this deadline might be subject to change if other factors are involved. Our team can review these factors and file your lawsuit accordingly.
If you fail to meet this deadline, your case might get dismissed. Should that happen, you would not be able to compel the liable party to compensate you for your injuries.

Should you decide to work with us, we can conduct a private investigation to see how your accident was caused and frame your case’s argument around another party’s negligence.
Proving That the Liable Party Was Negligent
When pursuing compensation, you must be able to assign liability to the at-fault party and prove how their negligence led to your injuries and subsequent damages.
We may frame our argument using the four elements of negligence, which are:
- Duty of care: The liable party needed to follow proper safety procedures to keep both workers and the public safe from harm.
- Breach of duty: The liable party did not uphold their duty of care, which introduced the risk of harm to nearby individuals at the construction site.
- Causation: Because of this breach, a construction accident occurred.
- Damages: You were injured in this construction accident and suffered additional damages.
Our law firm has experience dealing with personal injury cases against construction companies, so we are not afraid to stand up against them and fight on your behalf.

- Construction workers

The Steps You Take After an Accident Can Affect Your Case’s Outcome
After a construction accident, these steps could help you recoup damages:
- Receive medical care: Your first priority after an accident should be to receive medical care for your injuries. This can help prevent further injury and prevent your condition from getting worse. Also, the documentation you get from your doctor can support your compensation claim.
- Report the accident: Contact the manager of the construction site and file an accident report. If an accident report is not available, write a detailed description of what happened during the accident. We can use this information to determine what happened before, during, and after your injury.
- Contact an attorney: The construction company may do everything in its power to discredit your case. You don’t want to go up against a massive corporation and its lawyers. A lawyer from our team can manage everything your case requires while you focus on feeling better.
- Let our attorneys handle communications: Without an attorney, the insurance company may pressure you into accepting less compensation than you need. We can handle communications with the insurance companies to pursue a fair outcome.
- Limit what you share online: Anything you share on the internet could prevent you from seeking damages. You should keep all case-specific information between you and your lawyer—not between you and cyberspace.
