We Can Calculate How Much Your Case is Worth
People can get injured in various ways, and their consequences can also be just as varied, depending on the person’s financial circumstances, health, and emotional response to the accident. This is why there is no average compensation amount for premises liability cases, as it really does depend on the individual and how their injuries affected their life.
Our team can review your damages and begin collecting materials to calculate their values. We may factor in how your injuries affected you financially, emotionally, and physically, even considering how your injuries affected your relationships with others.
We may be able to fight for compensation for the following types of damages:
- Medical expenses to treat your injuries
- Loss of income, both current and future
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Reduced earning capacity
- Reduced quality of life
- Permanent disability
We may suggest other types of damages not listed here based on your case. Try to be as transparent as possible about how your injuries affected you personally because we want to pursue fair compensation.
Once you accept a settlement offer or your case receives a sentence in court, you will not be able to pursue additional compensation if you experience more damages.

Comparative Negligence Can Affect Premises Liability Cases
It is the responsibility of the property owner to keep all guests and licensees safe from harm on their premises. There are regulations they must follow to ensure their premises are safe for entrance, or they will be considered negligent. Property owners may be held liable for negligence if they:
- Knew about a hazard and did not remedy it right away
- Did not take precautions to survey their premises for hazards
- Took shortcuts to fix hazards, keeping guests at risk of harm
- Willfully did not remedy hazards on their property
However, if you pursue compensation from a property owner, they might try to claim that you participated in the cause of the accident as well. In Indiana, IC §34-51-2-5 states that plaintiffs who are found to be partially negligent in their case may have any compensation they win reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to them.
Sharing liability can affect the amount of compensation you receive. Our legal team can anticipate what kind of arguments the property manager might make to pursue fair compensation on your behalf.

You Must Submit Your Premises Liability Lawsuit Within a Certain Timeframe
Per IC §34-11-2-4, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file your premises liability lawsuit. This general deadline is set by the statute of limitations, which rules whether a case gets accepted by the courts or not. If your case is late, you may lose your right to pursue compensation.
Our team at Sevenish Law Firm, P.C. can keep track of the filing deadline associated with your case and inform you whether other factors might affect the deadline. For example, if you are suing a government entity, you may have to submit your case in a shorter time frame. Rules on suing government entities can be found in IC §34-13-3; however, we can review this information for you.
