Indiana Personal Injury Attorneys

An unexpected accident can disrupt your life. Beyond physical pain and emotional distress, individuals often face rising medical bills and are unable to work. A personal injury claim provides a chance to recover financial losses, but facing the legal system alone can be challenging. At McNeelyLaw LLP, our experienced attorneys are committed to helping you seek the full compensation you deserve, letting you focus on what matters most: rebuilding your life.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury law addresses a wide range of incidents where one person’s negligence causes harm to another. At McNeelyLaw LLP, we represent clients across Indiana in various personal injury claims.

Some of the most common cases we handle include:

• Dog Bites: If a dog attacks and injures someone, the owner can be deemed responsible for the resulting harm, which often includes medical expenses and emotional trauma.
• Slip-and-Falls: Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, injuries from slippery floors, icy walkways, or other hazards can lead to a premises liability claim.
• Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists are vulnerable on the road. Accidents involving negligent drivers can cause severe injuries, and holding the at-fault party accountable is crucial for recovery.
• Pedestrian Accidents: Similar to cyclists, pedestrians have little protection against motor vehicles. Drivers who fail to yield or drive distractedly can cause devastating accidents.

How Liability Is Determined In an Injury Case

A key element of any personal injury case is proving that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. To establish liability in Indiana, you must show that the at-fault party had a duty to act with reasonable care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries and subsequent damages.

This process involves a thorough investigation to gather crucial evidence. Our legal team builds a comprehensive claim that incorporates police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other documentation. This evidence is essential for demonstrating fault and countering any attempts by insurance companies to deny or minimize your claim.

Compensation Available for Your Injuries

If another’s negligence has caused you injury, you may be eligible for different forms of compensation. The goal of this compensation is to help you return to the financial position you were in before the accident.

Available compensation, often referred to as damages, can cover:

• Medical Bills: This includes all of the expenses associated with your treatment, such as hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and ongoing physical therapy.
• Lost Wages: If injuries make it impossible to work, you can claim compensation for current and future lost income.
• Pain and Suffering: This non-economic damage compensates you for physical pain and emotional suffering that was generated by the injury.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help

Filing a personal injury claim can be demanding, particularly when recovering from an injury. Your attorney will oversee all communications with insurance companies, which frequently try to settle for less than you deserve. With deep knowledge of Indiana law, your lawyer will negotiate for a fair settlement that covers all of your losses. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, they will be prepared to represent you in court.
