The statute of limitations is the maximum amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. Even if you hope to negotiate a settlement, it’s critical not to miss this deadline. A judge will dismiss a case if you accidentally go over the deadline, which will undermine your ability to obtain a meaningful settlement.

Currently, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years. There are certain exceptions we can discuss in a consultation, but it’s vital to reach out to our law office quickly. We can move to protect your rights by filing a lawsuit, if necessary, before the statute expires.

What is Fair Compensation for a Personal Injury?

Personal injury claims seek financial compensation for bodily injuries and associated losses. How much is your claim worth? Each case is different, but the amount will depend on your damages for:

• Lost wages: You probably need to miss some work to recover from your accident. We can seek all lost income or wages. If you suffered a permanent injury, then we can ask for loss of earning capacity.
• Medical bills: Medical treatment is expensive, even for relatively minor injuries. We can demand compensation to cover ambulance transportation, surgery, hospital stays, testing, doctor’s visits, and physical therapy. If you have a permanent injury, we can calculate the value of future medical care.
• Property damage: Your car, motorcycle, or bicycle probably needs to be fixed or replaced following an accident. We can request compensation for this expense.
• Pain and suffering: Some losses are not financial in nature. Bodily pain, mental anguish, depression, and diminished enjoyment of life deserve compensation, even if they are harder to translate into monetary terms. Let us review how much to request.

Your settlement or jury award gets reduced by your share of fault. Under Indiana Code § 34-51-2-6, you will receive nothing if you are more than 50% to blame for the accident. Any percentage less than that reduces your compensation by a similar percentage. So someone who is 30% at fault will receive 30% less than they otherwise could.

We Are Affordable

With finances stretched, many accident victims hope to handle their own claim. That is a big mistake. People who represent themselves often make critical errors, miss deadlines, and don’t know how much their injuries are worth. You should hire an experienced lawyer to help you.

Our Indianapolis personal injury lawyers work on contingency, which means you don’t owe any upfront retainer or legal fees, and you aren’t required to pay out-of-pocket expenses. Instead, we agree to accept a share of any settlement or court award if we win. This agreement removes the risk to clients and creates an incentive for getting the largest settlement possible.
