Injury Settlement in Merrillville

Proving fault for an accident

Almost all Merrillville injury lawsuits require that you, with the help of your attorney, prove that there was a negligent party. There are many ways to show how a person’s negligent or careless actions were directly connected to your injury.

However, even though you may feel that a third party is responsible for compensating you for your losses, there are very specific rules as to how you have to prove it. You must also show the court how your own actions did not cause your injury because, in Indiana, there is a comparative negligence law that states you can be held accountable for your own injuries. To provide a strong case against the person who caused your accident, contact Robert A. Plantz before filing a personal injury law suit in Merrillville.

It may be hard to put a dollar amount on your injury, especially to compensate for your pain and suffering. Robert A. Plantz and his associates can help make sure you receive a fair settlement.

These are only some of the damages that can be recovered by a successful Merrillville injury lawsuit:

• Any property damage
• Change in future earning potential due to the injury
• Cost of paying someone to do household chores while you are unable
• Emotional distress, including anxiety, depression or changes in relationships
• Other costs that were a direct result of the injury
• Past, current and estimated future medical expenses
• Permanent disfigurement or disability
• Work missed, including time to attend doctor and therapy appointments

  Unfortunately, there are times when it takes years to recover the money you need. When the person responsible for your accident has the proper insurance coverage, this process is usually smoother. But the insurance companies are protecting their best interest and are less concerned with what you need.
