Understanding the various types of personal injury claims and knowing who can be sued in each scenario can empower victims to seek justice for their injuries. If someone else’s negligence has injured you or a loved one, our personal injury attorneys can help protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve. The following are claims we help our clients file each day in Kokomo:
Car accidents are a leading cause of personal injury claims, which can result from a variety of factors. When one driver is deemed at fault, they can be sued for negligence based on several factors, such as reckless driving, distracted driving, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
However, in some cases, the vehicle manufacturer involved in the accident might also be held liable if a defect in the vehicle contributed to the accident. In such situations, the victim has the right to file a claim against the manufacturer for the damages they have incurred as a result of the accident.
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating, as riders are not protected by the safety features that cars provide. Such accidents can result in serious and life-altering injuries. As with car accidents, the at-fault driver can be held accountable for their negligence and be sued for damages.
If a defective motorcycle part or helmet is found to have contributed to the accident, the manufacturer might also be held liable for the harm caused.
Accidents involving trucks can be more intricate than other types of motor vehicle accidents. This is because multiple parties could be held accountable for the incident.
These parties might include the truck driver, the trucking company, and even the manufacturer of the truck or its parts. Each could be responsible for different aspects of the accident, making it a complex issue that requires careful consideration.
The emergence of rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft has brought about new challenges in the field of personal injury law. Suppose you have unfortunately been injured in an accident that involves a rideshare vehicle. In that case, you have the option to file a claim against either the rideshare driver or the rideshare company itself.
The decision on who to file the claim against would depend on the circumstances of the accident and the nature of the injuries suffered. Who to file a claim against typically depends on whether the rideshare driver was on duty at the time. The laws surrounding rideshare accidents can be complex, so it is advisable to seek guidance from our team so that you can make the best choices for the future of your case.
Construction sites are inherently risky workplaces that are associated with a significant number of personal injury claims every year. These claims might arise because of a variety of factors, including but not limited to negligence on the part of the construction company, the property owner, or the equipment manufacturer.
In such cases, the potential defendants must comply with stringent safety regulations and guidelines to ensure the well-being of all individuals on the construction site.
Medical malpractice claims occur when a healthcare provider fails to provide an acceptable standard of care to a patient, causing the patient to suffer injury or harm. These claims can be filed against any healthcare professional, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, and others.
The claims might arise because of different types of negligence, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, failure to diagnose, or improper treatment. In some cases, hospitals or healthcare facilities might also be held liable for the actions or negligence of their employees. Medical malpractice claims can be complex, involving legal and medical issues, and require the knowledge of an attorney and medical experts to navigate.
It is important to ensure that the fundamental right of nursing home residents to be treated with dignity and respect is always protected. If this right is infringed upon because of any form of abuse or neglect, it is possible to file a claim against the nursing home, its staff, or the management company responsible for the residents’ care. Taking appropriate legal action can help prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
When pedestrians are involved in an accident, they might have the right to file a claim against the driver who hit them. Drivers are expected to exercise a high degree of care and attention when operating their vehicles and to take necessary precautions to avoid accidents.
However, if poor road conditions, such as uneven pavement, debris on the roadway, or faulty traffic signals, played a role in the accident, the city or county could also be held liable for the pedestrian’s injuries. In such cases, the government entity responsible for maintaining the roadways might be required to compensate the victim for their damages, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Accidents caused by slipping and falling can happen anywhere, but they are more frequent in commercial properties like grocery stores or restaurants. In such cases, the proprietor or occupier of the premises might be held accountable for not upholding the safety of the premises. This can include things like not cleaning up spills, not repairing damaged flooring, or not warning customers about potential hazards.
When a person’s negligence or wrongful act causes the death of another, the deceased’s family members might file a wrongful death claim. Potential defendants include at-fault drivers, medical professionals, product manufacturers, and more.

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.
