Most people are not prepared to suffer an injury, especially because of the negligence of another person. When accidents do occur, you have the right to recover compensation in a lawsuit. Our firm can help you get justice for your injuries in virtually any type of personal injury lawsuit. The following are a few of the types of cases our team regularly handles for our clients in Carmel:
Car accidents are a common cause of injuries in Carmel. Injuries can range from minor bumps and bruises to life-changing injuries such as spinal cord injuries, brain damage, or even wrongful death. If you have been injured in a car accident, our personal injury attorneys can help you determine your legal options and recover the compensation you deserve to form the negligent party. Lawsuits against multiple parties might also be possible in some cases. For example, if the driver that injured you was speeding but was caused to crash into you because of being cut off by another driver, both drivers can be held responsible for their part in causing the accident.
Slip and fall lawsuits are another common type that our firm regularly handles. Slip and fall accidents commonly result from unsafe conditions at businesses, like bars and restaurants, or in office and apartment buildings. If an owner does not properly maintain their premises and regularly inspect them for dangers, it can result in devastating injuries for visitors. In many cases, multiple parties are responsible for the safety of the premises, meaning several paths to compensation could be available.
Pedestrian accident lawsuits are more common than ever in Carmel with the number of distractions the average driver has around them at any given time. Drivers should be aware of pedestrians who might cross their paths and are required to yield the right of way to pedestrians. If you have been struck by a vehicle while walking down the street or hit by someone who ran a red light or stop sign, then you can file a lawsuit against them. Even if the driver fled the scene, our team can investigate your hit-and-run accident to help you get justice for your injuries.
Motorcyclists are at risk of serious injury or even death every time they ride in Carmel. As most riders know, the roads are not always safe, as many drivers are completely oblivious to a motorcycle near them until it is too late. Motorcycle accident victims often require significant compensation to fully treat their injuries, which could require years of physical therapy and surgeries. You are entitled to recover any expenses your injuries have caused you to incur.
When trucks collide with smaller vehicles, the results can be devastating. These accidents often result in life-changing injuries and sometimes death. If a commercial truck driver caused your accident, they can be held accountable for their negligence. Further, a driver’s employer can usually be held responsible for their negligent employee. Unless the driver was an independent contractor, you can sue the truck driver and their employer if the accident happened while the driver was performing their normal work functions.
Medical malpractice occurs in Carmel when healthcare providers fail to provide adequate care for their patients, causing harm to them or their loved ones. Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex because expert medical testimony is often needed to establish that you were the victim of malpractice. Also, more than one healthcare professional might be responsible for your injuries since many individuals are involved in the care of a patient.
Construction accidents are a serious issue in Carmel. Construction workers are often injured or killed on the job because of unsafe working conditions, faulty equipment, poor supervision, and other factors that can lead to serious injuries. Construction sites are often chaotic environments where workers must complete their tasks quickly while also protecting themselves from potential hazards, such as falling objects and machinery malfunctions. While most construction companies take employee safety seriously, accidents still occur frequently due to human negligence and faulty equipment.
There is a wide range of damages you can claim in a Carmel personal injury lawsuit. Economic damages are the financial losses you sustained as a result of your accident. These damages include the costs of medical care, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses you were required to pay to treat your injuries. The purpose of economic damages is to put an injured party back in the position they were in before the accident. Thus, if your injuries require future medical treatment or you cannot return to work indefinitely, these damages can be claimed as part of your economic damages.
Non-economic damages refer to compensation for the pain and suffering your injuries have caused you to experience. These damages include physical pain from your injuries, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. Other non-economic damages include loss of household services, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, disfigurement, and scarring. Non-economic damages can be challenging to prove since they cannot be calculated in dollar amounts but are commonly rewarded to personal injury victims.
Punitive damages are awarded in a personal injury lawsuit to punish the wrongdoer. Punitive damages are not intended to compensate the plaintiff but rather to deter future conduct by other individuals. Punitive damages can be awarded in a lawsuit if it can be proved that the defendant acted with malice or reckless disregard for the plaintiff's safety. While punitive damages are not commonly awarded, they are more typical in cases involving medical malpractice, DUI car accidents, product liability lawsuits, and slip and fall accidents.

Don is a founding partner and one of the nation’s top-ranked personal injury litigators. He is a member of the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, which includes less than 1% of the nation’s trial lawyers, and awarded the highest ranking given by Martindale Hubbel and AVVO.
More importantly, Don understands representing personal injury victims is about more than recovering the best settlement: it’s about helping clients get back on their feet and supporting them in every aspect of their recovery.
In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
For more than four decades, Keith has been fighting for injury victims. During that time, he’s watched the insurance industry change, with insurers now more interested in protecting their stock price than treating injury victims fairly.
Since the beginning, Keith has put people first. From his childhood in Gary, Indiana during the 1960’s and working his way through law school, Keith has risen to become one of the Midwest’s most respected trial lawyers. He has never forgotten that being a lawyer is about helping people -- and seeing injury victims through struggles in a way that could change their lives forever.
Over the decades, Keith, Don and Jason have fought relentlessly for clients, even when other lawyers have said the case was impossible to win.
