Three Things to Know About Pursuing Compensation in Indiana
When we meet with injured claimants, we always share these three things up front:
You Have a Limited Time to File Your Lawsuit
The state applies a two-year filing deadline to most 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 serving South Bend can manage each of your case’s deadlines, including Indiana’s statute of limitations.
It doesn’t Cost you Anything Out of Pocket to Hire Our Firm
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 up front 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 what to expect.
We’re Ready to Pursue 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 Serving South Bend
When you entrust your case to our injury lawyers, 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.
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 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, 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
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 lawyers 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 $1 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.
