Getting seriously hurt in an accident can be physically and psychologically traumatic, but it can also be financially devastating for months or years afterward. Unexpected medical bills and the costs of replacing damaged personal property can wipe out savings in an instant, especially when combined with lost income due to time missed at work or a permanent loss of working and earning capacity caused by disability and/or disfigurement.
While you cannot turn back the clock and prevent your accident from ever happening, you can take legal action against the person responsible for causing it, and a skilled attorney from Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin can help you do that. No matter how you were hurt or what kinds of damages you need to recover, a Brownsburg personal injury lawyer can assist you in your pursuit of financial security.
The legal concept at the heart of most successful personal injury lawsuits filed in Indiana is negligence ”—the idea that someone can be held financially accountable for the consequences of their actions, even if they did not intend to cause any harm to anybody. Under state law, someone is negligent if they do something reckless or careless in violation of a “duty of care” they have to act responsibly under certain circumstances. That breach of duty is the main and direct cause of an injury which likely would not have happened without that breach.
This legal theory allows personal injury claims to proceed based on all kinds of accidents stemming from various forms of negligence. The most common that we see include, but are not limited to:
A Brownsburg personal injury attorney can answer questions during a private initial meeting about whether your situation makes you eligible for compensation.
Guidance from legal counsel will also help you navigate around the many roadblocks that Indiana state law can place in the way of fair financial recovery. To start with, our skilled personal injury lawyers in Brownsburg can help build the strongest possible claim within the strictly enforced deadline set by the statute of limitations.
Perhaps even more importantly, we can help push back against allegations of “comparative fault”—accusations that an injured person holds some or most of the fault for their own injuries because they were negligent in some way. Failing to fight back against claims of comparative negligence can lead to plaintiffs missing out on some or all of the compensation they are requesting. A personal injury lawyer knows how to counter these narratives and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Even if it seems obvious that another person is directly at fault for injuring you, proving fault for that injury in civil court can be extremely difficult. People who try to pursue these claims without guidance from legal counsel rarely get positive outcomes. You have nothing to lose by retaining a lawyer; we work on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay us unless you win.
Representation from a Brownsburg personal injury lawyer will make a world of difference in how your case plays out and what you might recover. Call today to learn what our attorneys at Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin can do for you.
I have dreamed about writing a book about personal injury law for years. In the past year, I have thought about
the project often. Clearly, I am a procrastinator.
