Personal injuries can result in costly hospital bills and other consequences for victims. While you are healing, we can quantify your losses and seek compensation for them in a claim against the liable party.
There are strict time limits on pursuing damages after suffering personal injuries in Indiana. If you do not bring your case within two years, you cannot hold a negligent party liable, which we can prevent by prioritizing filing on time. As we gather evidence of negligence, we may interview individuals who witnessed the accident, whether you were hurt in a car crash, during a fall on someone else’s property, or because of a construction accident. On top of eyewitness testimony, we may use statements from experts whose specific areas of expertise would strengthen your case, like specialists who are familiar with treating your types of injuries. This may culminate in a compelling case that enables us to negotiate a fair settlement covering your losses, like medical costs, missed wages, and intangible damages.

Those hurt by negligence only have a limited time to file claims and pursue compensation in Highland. Immediately after your accident, we can identify the final date you can bring your case, lest you get barred from recovering damages.
I.C. § 34-11-2-4 sets the filing deadline for personal injury cases at two years. Generally speaking, the clock begins to count down the date you are injured, though some victims who do not discover their injuries immediately might see the statute of limitations paused. Relying on possible exceptions to the statute of limitations could leave you in a difficult position if you have waited and must rush preparing your case, and we can ensure this does not happen to you.
The surest way to avoid missing the statute of limitations is to start your case and its initial stages immediately. Physical evidence left at accident sites could get lost or destroyed, as could footage from security cameras owned by negligent parties. Delaying the preservation of such evidence could delay your filing your case, raising questions about why you waited to file if your injuries were due to the other party and if you need compensation. Missing the deadline altogether would block you from getting any compensation from a negligent party, even if there is evidence of their liability.
Witness statements can solidify injury cases. Eyewitnesses can corroborate victims’ telling of events, and experts may lend their knowledge by analyzing physical evidence, photos from the accident, and other information, potentially leading to larger recoveries for victims.
Accidental injuries may happen on heavily populated roads, commercial establishments, workplaces, or other areas with witnesses nearby. If you can, speak to anyone who saw the accident and witnessed your injuries or another party’s negligent conduct. Witnesses may readily offer you their contact information so personal injury lawyers can quickly schedule interviews with them. If you are too hurt to have these conversations with witnesses, you can ask first responders to talk to them. Upon getting and reviewing police reports, we may identify witnesses, contact them, and preserve their recollections for your future case.
The experts we may involve in your case could vary, depending on how you were injured. For example, after car crashes, having accident reconstruction experts assess leftover physical evidence, police reports, and photos can lead to various determinations. Experts can often work in reverse to confirm which driver hit the other, how fast each vehicle was traveling, and the direction in which each vehicle was traveling. Other experts may benefit victims injured due to defective products, so keeping all packaging, receipts, and parts is crucial after such accidents. We may also collect statements from the doctors who have treated you and other medical experts, as this can provide clarity regarding future hospital expenses and when you may be able to return to your previous level of employment.
Settling personal injury claims is common, though it is important for victims to appreciate their total damages before settling. If they do not, they could agree to unfavorable terms, which we can prevent by protecting your interests during settlement talks.
To prepare for settlement discussions, we will list all damages you have incurred due to negligence, whether large or small. The most concerning damages for victims often come from medical care, so we may focus on tracking these losses initially. Victims who cannot work immediately after suffering injuries may recover their missed income from negligent parties, and we can calculate these losses based on victims’ income statements and paystubs.
Negligent parties are often hesitant to compensate victims for their physical pain and mental suffering in settlements, and our lawyers can prepare for this when building your case. We can identify the best evidence to leverage during negotiations, such as expert witness statements or surveillance footage showing the other party’s negligence, and use it accordingly.
As you physically recover from your injuries, we can identify other, less obvious damages you may have incurred that should be compensated. For example, you might be unable to drive after suffering a head, leg, or back injury, requiring you to get transportation accommodations so you can make your doctor appointments and other commitments. Our lawyers can seek compensation for these and other damages due to negligence so that you do not have to foot the bill for another party’s reckless or irresponsible conduct.

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.
