Three Things to Know About Pursuing Compensation for a Personal Injury in Indiana

When we meet with injured claimants, we always share these three things up front:

You Have a Limited Time to File Your Personal Injury Lawsuit

The state applies a two-year filing deadline to most personal injury lawsuits, per IC § 34-11-2-4. This is one of the most important laws surrounding your case. If you don’t file within this period:

You lose the right to seek damages through a lawsuit.
You couldn’t sue the at-fault party for your losses.
The insurance company might deny or devalue your claim.
The insurance company would have the “upper hand” in negotiations.

You can keep the statutory deadline from expiring in your case by consulting with our firm. Our team of personal injury lawyers serving South Bend can manage each of your case’s deadlines, including Indiana’s statute of limitations.

No Out of Pocket Costs to Hire Our South Bend Personal Injury Lawyers

We understand that being injured in an accident can jeopardize your financial stability. That’s why our South Bend injury lawyers offer help on a contingency fee basis. For you, this means:

Our attorney’s fees come from your settlement.
You don’t pay anything upfront for our help.
You pay nothing if your case doesn’t succeed.

We’ll outline our payment plan in writing at the beginning of our partnership. That way, you know exactly what to expect.

We’re Ready to Pursue Fair Compensation for Each of Your Losses

Whether you were injured in a collision or another situation, your recoverable damages could include:

Past and future healthcare expenses
Lost income, tips, bonuses, and other employment benefits
Pain and suffering
The cost of fixing or replacing your car
Loss of future earning capacity
Disability
Scarring
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life

We’re deeply sorry if you lost a loved one. We understand that compensation won’t undo your grief and hardships. However, it can alleviate your financial concerns while you celebrate your loved one’s life.

Compensation in a wrongful death case can account for:

Your loved one’s healthcare expenses, including hospice
Your loved one’s pain and suffering
Loss of consortium, household benefits, and parental guidance
Funeral expenses, including burial and cremation

What You Can Expect from Partnering with Our Team of South Bend, Indiana Personal Injury Lawyers

When you entrust your case to our South Bend personal injury lawyer, we will:

Determine Who Caused Your Accident

Indiana operates on a fault-based insurance system, per IC § 34-51-2-6. This makes establishing fault for your injuries crucial. That’s because even if you contributed to one percent of your accident, this could reduce how much you can recover.

Consider this scenario. A truck accident injured you, and you have $1 million in damages. The trucker’s fatigue caused 90 percent of the accident, while your own negligence caused 10 percent. In this case, because you were 10 percent at fault, you could only recover $900,000 for your personal injuries and other losses.

We will fight for everything you deserve. Yet, this requires investigating your case and gathering evidence – both of which we will do.

Collect Information to Support Your South Bend Personal Injury Case

We will find and use the following information to support your right to damages:

Security camera footage
Eyewitness testimony
Statements from field experts, such as accident reconstruction specialists
Your medical treatment records
The accident report
Information from your healthcare team
Your injury-related invoices and billing statements
Your own personal testimony

With this information, we can prove that because another party acted negligently and caused your accident and injuries, you deserve compensation.

Establish What You Are Owed

The insurance company hopes you don’t understand what your damages are worth. That way, it can offer less than you need. We will consider the following when determining what constitutes a fair offer:

Your medical bills, diagnosis, and prognosis
The cost of your financial losses
Your missed time from work
Your mobility
Your ability to work and live independently
The extent of your vehicle’s damage (if applicable)
Your percentage of fault

Our Personal Injury Lawyers Protect You from Insurance Companies

There is no such thing as an easy injury claim. Each case comes with its own complications. Sometimes, those challenges arise from bad-faith insurance practices. This is when the liable insurer purposefully delays or challenges your case.

We can shield you from these tactics:

The claims adjuster doesn’t answer your phone calls or emails.
You’re offered a substantially low settlement.
The insurance company pressures you into accepting an unfair offer.
The claims adjuster uses your criminal history or social media posts against you.
The insurance company avoids trying to pay your claim.

Our South Bend personal injury lawyer in South Bend will manage all communications with the insurance company, so you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

File Your Lawsuit

Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers has recovered over $2 billion in damages since we started serving injured people. We’ve recovered most of those funds by filing insurance claims.

However, we file lawsuits when insurance companies don’t play by the rules or offer fair settlements. This involves managing your case’s paperwork, filing your lawsuit within the statute of limitations, and arguing your right to damages.

You don’t have to worry about anything while we advocate for your rights in court. We will manage everything your case requires.
