Understanding Personal Injury Claims
You may have a personal injury case when you are involved in an accident because of another party’s action or inaction, and this accident results in injuries. As long as you can show that someone else caused your injuries, you have the right to seek reimbursement for your pain, suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
Determining Fault in a Personal Injury Case
One of the critical aspects of a successful outcome in a personal injury claim is to show that another party caused your injuries, whether due to negligent or malicious acts.
Proving negligence on the part of the other party does not have to involve a purposeful act. It only has to show that the other party could have taken a different course of action, and that decision would have prevented the accident and your injuries.
For example, if a driver violates IN Code § 9-30-5-1 and causes an accident, the ticket he or she receives from law enforcement can serve as a key piece of evidence in your case.
Almost 32,400 people suffered an injury in a car accident in Indiana in 2018, according to Indiana Traffic Safety Facts. With these numbers, you can understand why personal injury cases often relate to car accidents.
Showing Personal Injuries
You also need to prove how the injuries you suffered caused some sort of financial setback for you. This could include:
- Medical bills
- Hospitalization costs
- Physical therapy costs
- Ongoing medical costs
- Lost wages
- Inability to earn wages in the future

Types of Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury law covers many different types of accidents and injuries. If another’s actions led to your injuries, it likely falls under the umbrella of personal injury. As long as there is evidence of this, you may qualify to seek damages. Some examples of incidents that could lead to personal injury claims include:
- Car or truck accidents, in which a driver behaves negligently—such as by texting behind the wheel, speeding, of falling asleep at the wheel— and causes a collision.
- Premises accidents, in which a property owner fails to maintain the premises—such as by neglecting maintenance or leaving potential hazards unaddressed—and causes a visitor to slip and fall as a result.
- Nursing home abuse, in which nursing home personnel cause an injury or illness for residents, either through abuse or neglect.

We Take Pride in Representing Personal Injury Victims
When you suffer an injury at the hands of someone else, you may expect that the insurance company representing the other party will treat you fairly. Unfortunately, the insurance adjuster is not necessarily responsible for working in your best interest. He or she works for the insurance company, whose primary consideration is paying a settlement that is as small as possible.
When you attempt to represent yourself against an insurance company, you leave yourself open to challenges regarding your own role in the accident. An adjuster may argue that you are partially at fault, which can be difficult to argue your way out of without knowledge of insurance laws. As such, we encourage you to reach out to our firm and allow us to argue your case on your behalf.
