PERSONAL INJURY

People make mistakes in all realms of human experience, including while driving their cars and trucks.  Across the United States there are approximately six million motor vehicle accidents each year.  Those crashes happen for a variety of reasons (drunk drivers, distracted drivers, careless drivers, excessive speed, etc.) and they cause over 40,000 deaths and millions of personal injuries.  Many accident victims find that they need a lawyer to help them in dealing with insurance companies after they are injured in an auto collision.

At Miner &, Lemon,  LLP, we regularly handle cases across north central Indiana involving car crashes, semi-truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, accidents causing traumatic brain injuries, slip and fall accidents, construction accidents, pedestrian accidents, and many other personal injury and wrongful death cases.

When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in Indiana causing personal injury or property damage, you activate many insurance issues regarding liability and damages.  When you cause injury to another person while driving a vehicle, you are responsible to pay for the damages you cause.  If you are the one who is injured by the negligent acts of another driver, you are entitled to receive compensation for the losses caused by that driver.  Those losses may include:
  • medical expenses,
  • future medical expenses,
  • lost wages,
  • pain and suffering,
  • loss of earnings capacity,
  • and damages for permanent impairment. 

Everyone who drives in the state of Indiana is required to carry insurance to compensate the victims of their own negligence.

Unfortunately, your motor vehicle accident will activate the business instincts and interests of the auto insurance company that represents the party responsible for causing your injuries and damages.  The insurance industry guards large profit margins by advising people who have been in accidents that they do not need to contact a personal injury attorney and by trying to compensate them as poorly as possible for their losses.  When you are injured you need answers to questions like the following:

  • How do I prove that my injuries were caused by the negligence of another driver?
  • Is my injury claim one that could be handled without a lawyer?
  • How should I choose a personal injury attorney if I need one?
  • What is the deadline to file a personal injury claim?
  • Should I give a recorded statement to anyone without consulting an experienced personal injury lawyer?
  • Should I sign forms sent to me by auto insurance representatives?
  • How will my medical bills be paid while my injury claim is being resolved?
  • How likely is it that my claim will go to trial if I file one?
  • Will the person that hit me suffer financial hardship if I file a claim?
  • What should I do if a lawyer I don’t know visits me or calls me after I have been involved in a motor vehicle accident?

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

Traumatic brain or head injuries can be caused in a variety of ways: car crashes, falls, exposure to toxins, or any other forceful trauma to the head.  The resulting impact on a person’s physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning can be life altering.  In some cases, extensive rehabilitation is involved, and in most cases the permanent nature of the damage causes a lifetime of difficult adjustments.

When choosing an attorney to represent someone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury care should be taken to find help from attorneys who have the experience and knowledge required to deal with these unique injuries.  The personal injury lawyers at Miner & Lemon, LLP are experienced in handling brain injury cases. That experience allows us to bring the level of technical knowledge to difficult situations in an effort to maximize your recovery.
