The first step in your personal injury case should be to meet with an attorney and discuss the nature of your claims. Personal injury law encompasses many different injuries, accidents, and claims. It is important that you find an attorney who has experience with cases and claims similar to yours. Our personal injury lawyers have handled many cases like those named below, among others.
Vehicle collisions are frequently cited for numerous annual personal injury claims. Our team has handled accidents involving typical cars, large trucks, motorcycles, and more. We have also handled cases involving accidents with Uber or Lyft vehicles. Road accidents can be very dangerous, and victims might be left with numerous painful injuries and expenses that deserve compensation.
If you have ever taken a nasty fall, you might have hurt more than just your pride. Many people are badly injured in slip and fall accidents, often because the owner of the property where the accident happened failed to take care of the premises. Hazards like unclean messes, debris, or even wet floors might cause someone to take a bad fall. Our team can help you sue the property owner for their negligence.
While construction sites are known to be inherently hazardous, workers and others might still sue when the safety risks become inexcusable. Perhaps you were working on a construction site when some equipment malfunctioned and injured you. Depending on the circumstances, you might sue your employer, the property owner, or even the manufacturer of the defective equipment.
People who live in nursing homes are often not in the best health and may be very vulnerable to accidents and injuries. Unfortunately, nursing home staff might be improperly trained, distracted, or overworked, and accidents happen.
Alternatively, many nursing home residents are the victims of abuse at the hands of the people who are supposed to be taking care of them. Our team can help you sue for your loved one’s nursing home injuries, whether they were accidental or not.
Our legal team is ready and able to help you navigate the complex legal procedures of your injury claims. While some plaintiffs decide to try and handle their cases alone, having a lawyer by your side is best. Much time, planning, and preparation goes into a lawsuit before any paperwork is even filed with the courts. Not only that, but your lawyer can help you overcome any unexpected legal hurdles that come your way.
First, we can assess your claim to see if you have a cause of action. To file a lawsuit, you must show the court that your claims have legal merit. Baseless allegations or complaints are not grounds for a lawsuit. We need to show that you have the legal standing to sue and that your claims are backed by evidence.
Second, we will work to collect evidence and evaluate your damages. We need details about the evidence and damages to begin your case. The court will likely not accept a case with no evidence showing that your claims have merit. The court also needs to know what your damages are worth and what kind of relief you want from the lawsuit.
Once all the necessary information has been assembled, we can file a complaint and sue the person responsible for your injuries. Remember, preparing a formal complaint takes a lot of preparation, time, and skill, even for relatively simple claims. Our team has the skills and experience to streamline this process and get your claims into court as quickly as possible.
When it comes to injury claims, it is wise to talk to an attorney as soon as you possibly can. Even if you are not yet sure what you want to do or whether your claims warrant legal action, talk to a lawyer. An attorney can advise you on whether you have a valid claim and the best course of action to get you compensation.
According to I.C. § 11-34-2-4, the statute of limitation for personal injury claims in Indiana is only two years. This means you have only two years from the date you were hurt to file your claims in court. If you miss the deadline, you might be unable to bring the case to court.
Under specific circumstances, plaintiffs might buy extra time to file their case. For example, if you were a minor when you were injured, you likely could not file the claim on your own. As such, minor victims have two years from the date they turn 18 to file a personal injury case.

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.
