Fishers Indiana Personal Injury Lawyer

Victims who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence face not only medical concerns, but financial and emotional ones as well. The costs of treatment may be extensive and meanwhile, the injuries may keep the victim from being able to work. Meanwhile, according to MarketWatch, a person who develops PTSD from an accident can expect treatment to cost an average of $4,100 in the first year alone. If you or a loved one has been injured in Fishers and you believe you have a personal injury case, it is critical you seek help from an experienced Fishers personal injury lawyer who can collect evidence, determine the value of your case, and advocate on your behalf against the insurance companies.

Auto Collisions

Bradley Keffer and Tom Hirschauer have both been Fatal Alcohol Crash Team prosecutors. Through this work they have gained experience in handling crash scene investigations and prosecuting crashes with a jury verdict. Alcohol is not the only common cause of crashes on Indiana’s roads. According to Indiana’s Highway Safety Plan, there were 4,487,105 licensed drivers in Indiana in 2017 and many of those drivers engage in other risky behaviors such as:

  • Road rage;
  • Distracted driving such as texting while driving;
  • Failure to obey traffic signals;
  • Speeding;
  • Failure to slow down for bad road conditions; and
  • More.

Our car crash attorneys handle cases involving trucks, rideshare vehicles, motorcycles, bicyclists, e-scooters, and pedestrians. We have the knowledge required to take on more complex cases such as multiple-car pile-ups, hit-and-runs, crashes involving uninsured drivers, or crashes involving rental vehicles or company vehicles where multiple insurance companies may be applicable.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Elderly residents in long-term care require assistance with meals, personal hygiene, medical care, and daily tasks. This makes them vulnerable because they require help and are often not strong enough to fight back if abused. Caregiver abuse can be physical, such as shoving them to the ground or slapping them, or it can be verbal, such as making threats or calling them names. Caregiver neglect can be equally traumatizing and can also cause serious injury. If you have any questions about whether or not a loved one is receiving proper care in a nursing home, you owe it to them to investigate further with the help of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney.

Premises Liability

Property Owners have a responsibility to maintain their premises so that visitors are safe. This means fixing hazards such as broken stairs, properly lighting areas, putting up warning signs for areas of concerns such as slippery floors. If a person slips, falls, and subsequently injures themselves in an area that was not maintained or marked as dangerous, then the property owner can be held liable for the injuries. For a premises liability case to apply, the property owner must have known about the hazardous area or should have reasonably known about it. A skilled premises liability attorney can help you prove that the owner should have fixed the hazard before you were injured.
