After suffering injuries from negligence, you may seek compensation from the liable party, and our attorneys can help you navigate the recovery process in Zionsville.
Negligence occurs when one party breaches the duty of care they owe another, potentially injuring them in the process. The at-fault party may be liable for all subsequent losses when negligence directly causes a victim’s injuries and damages. These losses include all related hospital and medical expenses, lost wages, and intangible damages from pain and suffering. To prove you deserve compensation, our lawyers can investigate common sources of evidence to uncover possible surveillance footage and eyewitness statements to corroborate your claim. Waiting to initiate cases could lead to losing evidence, so starting an investigation immediately is crucial.

In many situations, one person might owe another a duty of care, and being irresponsible or failing to consider someone else’s safety could lead to damages for which they are liable.
One of the most common examples of this is car accidents, and the duty drivers owe one another to follow traffic rules. Ignoring speed limits, ignoring another driver’s right of way, texting while driving, or driving under the influence are common ways drivers breach their duty of care and act negligently, often causing accidents and injuries.
Others might also be negligent, including medical professionals, business owners, or homeowners. If doctors fail to diagnose conditions or prescribe the correct treatment appropriately, victims might incur compensable damages due to medical malpractice, and their medical conditions might worsen.
A doctor’s duty of care as a medical professional differs from your neighbor’s as a homeowner, but they still have a responsibility to you when visiting their home. For example, if you tripped over an unsecured floorboard in someone’s home or place of business, they would be liable for failure to maintain a reasonably safe environment free from hazards.
When proving liability in personal injury claims, our lawyers must show the other party’s negligence directly caused the victim’s injuries. For example, it is not enough to show a negligent driver was speeding during an accident; we must show that their speeding led to the accident. This often requires our personal injury lawyers to interview eyewitnesses, who can offer firsthand accounts of the other party’s negligence.
Compensatory damages for personal injuries fall into one of two categories: economic damages or non-economic damages. Carefully tracking all bills and losses is crucial, as failing to do so could lead to inaccurate compensation requests and unfair recoveries.
Victims are often most concerned with recovering economic damages, as personal injuries may require costly hospital visits as victims heal from an accident. We can help victims keep detailed records of all treatments and their corresponding costs so that we have proof of damages to offer in their claims. Any other financial losses or expenses caused by negligence, including lost wages, are also compensable. Victims who need in-house medical care or extensive physical therapy can also get compensation for those damages, and we can help victims itemize all losses when requesting compensation in injury complaints.
Also included in this category are economic damages victims have not incurred yet. It is common for victims to need to return to the hospital several times or have standing appointments with specialists, and their treatment plans may extend past the end of their cases. In these situations, we can argue for the negligent party to cover your future economic damages, offering testimony from medical experts to support our requests.
Non-economic damages attempt to cover the intangible implications associated with personal injuries, like the pain and suffering victims typically experience. Emotional distress often correlates with the severity of a victim’s injuries, with those who sustain permanent or disfiguring injuries typically experiencing a substantial reduction in their quality of life. Do not underestimate the value of your non-economic damages, and let our lawyers use the appropriate equations to quantify emotional distress from an accident.
Our attorneys can immediately investigate common sources of evidence for personal injury cases, such as security camera footage, photos from the scene, and eyewitness statements, to ensure that they are not lost, degraded, or destroyed.
If you are alone when injured, like after falling in the stairwell of a retail store, photograph the area to document it. Immediately report the accident by calling the police if necessary, especially if you need urgent medical attention. In slip and fall accidents in commercial establishments, there may be security footage our lawyers can obtain through subpoena if necessary. Video footage might exist in other scenarios, and our lawyers can approach property owners near an accident location to determine if they have surveillance systems.
Some of the most valuable evidence in these cases comes from witnesses, so request their contact information at the scene, especially if they stop to offer aid. Immediately interviewing eyewitnesses allows us to preserve their statements, which may corroborate yours and help prove the at-fault party’s liability.
While collecting this evidence, our attorneys can also help you obtain medical records from providers so that we can clearly show the date you sustained your injuries, your diagnosis, and the exact care you have received since the accident. Working quickly to preserve all relevant evidence to your case and recovery is crucial, as some evidence, like eyewitness statements, could degrade with time or be harder to access.

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.
