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:
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.
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 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:
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 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:
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.
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.
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.

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.
