Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Lafayette, IN

Our personal injury attorneys represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases. For nearly any claim that falls under the umbrella of “personal injury,” our attorneys are prepared to take your case.

Personal injury cases are usually classified based on specific sub-types of injury cases, usually grouped by what kind of circumstances are involved in the accident. For example, auto accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury cases we handle, including car accidents as well as bike accidents or pedestrian accidents. In addition, we handle the following types of cases as well:

  • Car crash cases, including those caused by the negligence of other drivers or by drunk drivers
  • Premises liability cases, including slip and falls and other injuries from dangerous property defects
  • Medical malpractice cases, including injuries from surgical errors, worsened conditions from misdiagnosis, issues involving medication mistakes, and more
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect cases, including both cases of intentional abuse resulting in injuries and systemic problems resulting in negligent care
  • Work injuries, especially those resulting from construction accidents and injuries brought about by third parties, such as negligent equipment manufacturers
  • Wrongful death cases

Cases can also be grouped based on the specific injuries that result, such as brain injury, spinal injury, and broken bone cases. Cases might also be grouped by the severity of the injury, such as catastrophic injury cases or injury cases resulting in long-term disabilities. Regardless of how you classify personal injury cases, our attorneys are prepared to handle any cases you need assistance with.

Understanding the Value of Your Lafayette, IN Personal Injury Case

After an injury, you could be left with expensive medical bills, time away from work, other financial and economic impacts on your life, and extensive pain and suffering. Understanding the monetary value of these “damages” can be difficult, and it is important to have an attorney review your case to help you ensure that you get all of your damages paid for.

Damages are typically broken down into two categories: economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are those that have a price tag attached and affect you financially rather than physically or mentally. This includes the following, which are all somewhat common areas of economic damages:

  • Medical bills
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
  • Counseling and psychiatric care
  • Lost wages from work
  • Lost earnings from permanent or long-term disabilities
  • Home nursing care
  • Modifications to your home to deal with a disability (e.g., wheelchair ramps)
  • Childcare and household service costs during your recovery
  • Property damage incurred in the accident

With such a wide range of damages available, it is important to have an attorney review your case to see which of these damages are relevant. Additionally, calculating some of these damages is difficult, especially when the fair market value of replacement services or the projected cost of ongoing future costs are involved.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are also difficult to calculate as there is no set cost associated with something like emotional distress. The following factors and experiences all make up your overall non-economic damages:

  • Pain
  • Suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Lost enjoyment of life
  • Lost ability to perform previous activities or hobbies
  • Fear during an accident
  • Embarrassment from the injury
  • Physical disfigurement

It is vital to have our personal injury attorneys review your case and determine which of these non-economic damages can be claimed in your case. Your attorneys will then seek out evidence to help prove these damages.

Evidence of Damages

The evidence used to prove the value of your economic damages typically comes in the form of bills, receipts, and other financial statements. Non-economic damages have no such records and must instead be proven by your testimony about how the accident affected you. Additionally, friends, family, and medical/psychiatric professionals can help explain to a court how the accident affects you.

Who is liable for Personal Injuries in Lafayette, IN?

Aside from determining what type of case you have and how much your claim is worth, it is important to look into who is responsible for your injuries. This party will ultimately be the defendant in your case, and they will be the target of any lawsuits and insurance claims you make.

Finding the at-fault party in some cases is not difficult. For example, if you were hit by a car, the driver is the party you will hold liable. However, even straightforward issues like car accidents can be complicated if the car was being driven by someone other than the owner or if the driver who hit you was a commercial driver working for a company at the time of the crash.

In many cases, corporations, owners, and other parties share liability in an accident case. Additionally, many cases involve multiple actors, each of which could share some degree of fault.

Make sure to have experienced personal injury lawyers like ours review the facts of your case and look for all potential parties who could share liability. In many cases, if you fail to bring claims against all relevant parties, you could be barred from going back and bringing your case against additional parties if the deadline to file your claim has already passed.

Understanding the Insurance Company:
Getting Results.

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.
