We Handle Personal Injury Accidents in Terre Haute

If you were the victim of someone else’s negligence and sustained serious enough injuries to require medical care, it may be worth your while to speak to a personal injury law firm about your case. You may be able to take legal action to hold the liable party responsible for your injuries and recover compensation for your losses and expenses.

Sevenish Law Firm, P.C. handles only personal injury accidents. Our personal injury law experience narrows and sharpens our focus. The types of injuries and accidents we can take on include:

Car accidents

If you suffered injuries in a collision in Terre Haute, IN, the state’s fault-based system would allow you to pursue an insurance claim against the responsible party. We represent car accident claimants.

What types of accident cases does our firm handle?

Our lawyers help claimants involved in:

  • Distracted driving accidents
  • Drunk or impaired driving accidents
  • Hit-and-run accidents
  • Rideshare accident
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist accidents

Truck accidents

If you were the victim of a Terre Haute truck accident, you may be able to hold the responsible party liable for your injuries. Don’t try to reach an agreement with the insurance company on your own. Reach out to Sevenish Law Firm Personal Injury Lawyers to find out how a Terre Haute truck accident lawyer can help.

What types of trucks can be involved in an accident in Terre Haute?

Your truck accident case could pit you against a private truck owner, a local company, a corporation, or the government agency that operates the truck. Some types of commercial trucks include:

  • Delivery trucks
  • Dump trucks
  • Garbage trucks
  • Tow trucks and wreckers
  • Construction vehicles
  • Landscaping trucks
  • Buses and coaches

Motorcycle accidents

If you were a victim of a motorcycle accident in Terre Haute, Indiana, get a lawyer who also rides on your side. We understand motorcyclists and fight to recover the compensation they need and deserve based on the facts of their accident.

How much insurance do motorcycle riders in Indiana need?

Every motorcyclist in Indiana needs coverage limits that meet these requirements:

  • $25,000 in bodily injury per person
  • $50,000 in total bodily injury per accident
  • $25,000 in property damage per accident

Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage is also a requirement for motorcycle insurance in Indiana unless refused in writing. There are comprehensive and collision coverages from insurance companies as well. Check with an insurer to know if an option is right for you.

Bicycle accidents

Terra Haute and Vigo County generally fall somewhere between 20 and 30 bicycle accidents each year. It is not always easily to build a bicycle accident case when a car hits your bike. Our bicycle accident lawyer can calculate the fair value of your case and pursue compensation on your behalf through an auto liability insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit.

What responsibilities do drivers have around bicyclists?

Drivers cannot assume the roads belong only to them. Sharing the road with bicycles means:

  • Yielding when necessary
  • Not cutting off bicycles
  • Passing safely

Premises liability accidents

If you were injured on public or private property in the city of Terre Haute, you may be able to pursue compensation. Hire our premises liability lawyer to help you.

When can a property owner be held liable in Indiana?

A property owner must ensure their premises are safe for legal visitors and licensees. They may be financially responsible if:

  • They knew about a hazard and did not remedy it right away
  • They did not survey their premises for hazards
  • They took shortcuts to attempt fixing hazards that still put guests in harm’s way
  • They willfully did not remedy hazards on their property

Dog bite injuries

When you are attacked by a dog, our injury lawyer can explain what legal options are possible for you. Let us review your dog bite injury case so you can focus on healing.

Who can you sue in a dog bite case?

A claim or lawsuit can be filed against a person whose dog attacked another individual unprovoked. If it’s unknown who owns the dog that attacked you, researching for lost or abandoned dogs might be an avenue to find who is liable. Stray animals that attacked you may make the city, county or state liable for not having appropriate animal control measures.

All personal injury cases we handle

Additionally, we advocate for victims and their families in cases like these:

  • Burn injuries
  • Bus accidents
  • Child injuries
  • Construction site injuries
  • First responder injuries
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Product liability injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Workers’ injuries

Call us if you were injured in one of these accidents, or any other situation where you believe someone’s negligence harmed you.

Proving Liability

Winning a personal injury case requires us to collect evidence to prove the responsible party’s liability. There are four components to proving liability:

  • The at-fault party had a duty to do something—or not do something—to keep you safe.
  • They failed to uphold the duty.
  • Their action or inaction caused an accident, and your injuries resulted.
  • You sustained physical injuries and incurred financial losses.

Seeking a Fair Settlement in Your Terre Haute Personal Injury Accident Case

Be cautious when approached by an insurance company with an initial settlement offer after your personal injury accident. An insurance company may make you a quick, lowball offer if they believe their client is responsible for your accident. However, signing a settlement offer that does not address all of your losses may prohibit you from recovering further compensation in the future. You are not obligated to accept an initial offer, and in many personal injury cases, you may be able to negotiate for a higher amount or recover greater compensation in court.

If you hire a Terre Haute personal injury lawyer from Sevenish Law Firm, P.C. to represent your case, we will handle the negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf. Our team collects receipts, bills, and other paperwork to show the economic costs associated with this type of accident, and can put a price on your noneconomic losses, such as your physical pain and mental anguish. We can then use this evidence to counter a lowball offer in negotiations with the insurance company.

The recoverable damages in a Terre Haute personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit may include:

  • Pain and suffering and other noneconomic damages.
  • Current and future medical care costs.
  • Ongoing care costs if needed.
  • Lost wages, benefits, and other compensation for missed work.
  • Diminished earning ability if you cannot return to your previous job.
  • Property damages.
  • Out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident, injuries, or care.

Sevenish Law Firm, P.C. can also help if your loved one passed away as a result of an injury accident in Terre Haute. Your family may be able to seek and secure damages based on your related losses in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Time Limits on Filing a Terre Haute Personal Injury Lawsuit

Victims of negligence accidents in Terre Haute generally have two years from the date of their accident to file a civil suit against the potentially liable party or parties under Indiana Code 34-11-2. If this time limit expires before you take legal action, you could lose the right to recover compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.

Sevenish Law Firm, P.C. can explain what legal time limits pertain to your case when you contact our firm.
