Our assistance often goes beyond legal matters, offering emotional support and peace of mind during a challenging period. The following are some of the services we can provide you in Greenwood:
One of the first steps we take is conducting a thorough assessment and investigating your case.

With a deep understanding of your legal rights and the applicable laws, our lawyers can provide you with guidance and explain how these laws impact your claim.
One of the biggest challenges that claimants face is dealing with insurance companies. These companies are notorious for using tactics to minimize payouts and protect their bottom line. This can make the claims process intimidating and overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the legal system.

Understanding the importance of evidence in a personal injury case is the first step towards a successful claim. The right evidence can strengthen your case and increase the chances of getting the compensation you deserve. The following are common types of evidence our team uses to prove personal injury claims in Greenwood:
In personal injury cases, police reports play a crucial role and are considered a vital source of information. These reports are generally compiled by the officers who arrived at the incident scene and contain many details regarding the accident or the crime. Police reports often include information such as the location, date, and time of the incident, the identity of the parties involved, and a detailed description of the event that took place.
Moreover, police reports also contain statements from involved parties and witnesses, which can be particularly helpful in determining the sequence of events leading up to the accident or the crime. The officer’s observations and conclusions, which can be used to establish the other party’s liability, are also mentioned in these reports.
In personal injury cases, medical records play a significant role in establishing the extent of your injuries and the medical care you receive. They serve as crucial pieces of evidence that document the severity of your injuries and the treatments you underwent.
Medical records can help your attorney build a strong case for you and help you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can also help determine the necessary future medical care that you might require, which is essential in determining the amount of compensation you might be eligible for. Therefore, you should keep all your medical records safe and secure, as they will be invaluable when it comes time to pursue compensation in a personal injury case.
Photos and videos taken from the scene can also provide invaluable and irrefutable evidence of what happened. They can help capture important details such as the severity of the accident, the weather and road conditions at the time, and the visible injuries sustained by those involved.
With the advancement of technology and the widespread use of smartphones, capturing this type of evidence has become easier and more accessible. As a result, if you are involved in an accident, taking photos and videos of the scene as soon as possible is highly recommended. Doing so can significantly strengthen your claim and provide you with the evidence needed to support your case.
When an incident occurs, eyewitnesses can be incredibly valuable in helping to establish what happened. Their firsthand accounts of events can support your version of events and potentially contradict any claims made by the defendant.
Thus, collecting the contact information of any witnesses at the scene is important so that their statements can be used later in your case. So, if you are ever injured in an accident caused by another person, be sure to take the time to gather information from any witnesses who were present.
Expert witnesses often play a key role in strengthening personal injury cases. These professionals have extensive knowledge and experience in a particular field, such as accident reconstruction or medicine. By providing specialized insights and testimony, they can help you establish the defendant’s liability and substantiate the extent of your injuries.
For example, an accident reconstructionist can use their expertise to analyze the details of a crash and determine how it occurred. This information can prove that the defendant was at fault and that their actions led to your injuries.
Similarly, a medical professional can provide detailed information about your injuries, including their severity, how they were caused, and what kind of treatment you require. This information can be used to demonstrate the impact that the accident has had on your life and to help you seek fair compensation for your losses.
Social media as a source of evidence in legal cases has become increasingly common in recent years. For defendants, their social media profiles can be a goldmine of information for lawyers pursuing justice. By analyzing a defendant’s posts, comments, photos, or videos, valuable insights into their behavior before, during, and after the incident can be gleaned.
In particular, social media activity can reveal evidence of negligence that might have contributed to the incident. For instance, posts that boast about reckless behavior could point to a pattern of negligence or even recklessness that could have led to the situation in question. Additionally, photos or videos posted around the time of the incident could provide crucial context or even contradict the defendant’s version of events.
Furthermore, comments made by the defendant on other people’s posts could also be used as evidence. These comments might reveal the defendant’s state of mind or their attitude towards certain behaviors or situations.
In certain situations, cell phone records can play a significant role in legal cases. For example, if you suspect that the other party involved in the accident was distracted by their cell phone at the time of the incident, their cell phone records might contain information that can support your claim.
These records might include incoming and outgoing calls, text messages, and other data that can help prove negligence. Cell phone records can potentially strengthen your case by providing concrete evidence of the other party’s distraction.
Surveillance footage from nearby businesses, residences, or traffic cameras can be immensely helpful when trying to investigate or establish an accurate account of an incident. Such footage can provide an impartial and unbiased view of the incident, thereby eliminating any potential biases or prejudices that witnesses or participants might have.
Moreover, this type of evidence can be particularly powerful as it captures the incident in real time and visually demonstrates what occurred, leaving little room for doubt or confusion. The availability of surveillance footage can often make or break a case, but you will need to act quickly to gather it, as this footage is usually erased soon after.
Each personal injury case is unique and usually requires the assistance of an experienced attorney to accurately quantify your damages. The following are examples of compensation typically claimed in Greenwood personal injury cases:
Medical expenses can make up a substantial portion of your compensation in a personal injury claim. These expenses might include the costs incurred for your hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, medications, physical therapy, and any other treatments that were necessary for your recovery.
The expenses you have already incurred are not the only ones that can be compensated for. If your injuries require ongoing or future medical care, your claim can also include the estimated costs of those treatments. This can help ensure you have the financial support you need to recover from your injuries fully.
If your injuries have resulted in missed work or have diminished your capacity to work, you might be eligible for compensation for your lost wages. This includes not only your regular salary but also any bonuses, commissions, benefits, or any other form of income that you would have received had you not been injured.
If your injuries have a long-term impact on your ability to earn an income in the future, you might also be able to seek compensation for the loss of your earning capacity.
The pain and suffering you experience can include both physical and emotional distress and also should be compensated for. This can take the form of physical pain but also psychological effects such as depression, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life.
The amount awarded for pain and suffering is subjective and considers several factors unique to each case. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, the extent and duration of your pain and suffering, and the impact these injuries have on your quality of life will all be considered when determining the amount of compensation you might be entitled to.
If your personal property, such as a car, was damaged in the incident that caused your injury, you could be compensated for its repair or replacement value. This amount is typically based on the fair market value of the property at the time of the incident.
Punitive damages are awarded in cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious or reckless. They are not intended to compensate the plaintiff but rather to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. Not all personal injury cases involve punitive damages, and their award is subject to strict standards not often found in most cases.

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.
