Determining Who is Responsible for Your Catastrophic Injury

In any personal injury case, we must identify the negligent party or parties that caused the accident that led to your injuries. To do this, we must prove that:

The party owed you a duty of care.
They breached this duty of care by acting negligently.
Their negligence caused your accident.
The accident caused your injuries.

Where and how the accident occurred affects who can be held responsible for your accident. For example, another driver may be held responsible for your car accident. Some parties who may be held accountable for their negligence and role in your accident include:

Driver or another motorist
Bicyclist
Pedestrian
Municipal agency
Private company
Pharmaceutical or another manufacturer
Property owner
Dog owner

A catastrophic injury attorney serving Fort Wayne can review the facts of your case and determine potential negligent parties from your accident.

You May Have Limited Time to Seek Compensation for Your Catastrophic Injury

Per IC § 34-11-2-4, you only have two years from the date of the accident that caused your catastrophic injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this timeline may be different depending on your age at the time of the accident. Your lawyer from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can help you determine how long you have to file your lawsuit.

The process of collecting evidence, building a case, and filing a suit is complex and time-consuming. It can also be more intensive due to the extent of your injuries. What’s more, our first step is to negotiate with insurance companies and other liable parties to settle out of court, which can often save your family unnecessary stress.

The sooner you start your case, the more time you may have to file your personal injury lawsuit.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

One of the most important reasons to seek medical attention after getting into any type of accident is to see a doctor as soon as possible. Doing so can prevent or reduce the recovery time for catastrophic injuries. Some of the most common catastrophic injuries we see include:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries
Amputations
Burns
Severe cuts and fractures
