Proving Negligence
The way tort law works is that the injured party (plaintiff) must first prove that the at-fault party (defendant) was negligent and that this negligence caused the injury and damages. To prove negligence in your case, the argued facts must meet the criteria of duty of care as follows:
- The defendant owed you a responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent your injury.
- The defendant violated this duty.
- By breaching their duty of care, the defendant caused your injury.
- Your injury resulted in damages (economic, physical, and psychological).
Our investigation of your injury will prepare us to formulate the above arguments and back them with solid evidence.

Recoverable Damages
Tort law provides for an injured person’s potential to receive compensation for any losses or injuries they sustained as the result of the defendant’s negligence. Your personal injury case stems from injuries and losses specific to your incident or accident. Therefore, what you may collect in compensatory damages for your injury claim will likely differ from what someone else gets for their personal injury claim.
We cannot speak specifically to your recoverable damages until we know the details of your case. However, we can give you an idea of the types of damages that have been paid either through an insurance settlement or a court award.
Some of the types of recoverable damages in a personal injury case include:
- Past medical costs
- Future and ongoing medical costs
- Lost wages or earnings
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Loss of household services
- Home modifications
- Loss of consortium
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Diminished quality of life
These types of damages only partially represent the breadth of compensation you may be eligible to receive for your personal injury claim or case. If you lost a loved one due to the negligence of another party, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death action. Our lawyers can also help you with this pursuit.

How Indiana’s Statute of Limitations Can Affect Your Case
Under Indiana Code §34-11-2-4, the civil courts adhere to a statute of limitations that restricts the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit after a personal injury. The timeframe established in this statute is two years, although the courts may occasionally make an exception.
Rather than risk it, you would do well to consider hiring a lawyer soon after your personal injury occurred. Hiring an attorney sooner gives your attorney more time to build your case, including the initial effort of collecting fresh evidence that may otherwise erode or become less accessible over time.
