Personal Injury FAQs

How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Indiana?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Indiana, including Dyer and Merrillville cases. Claims against government agencies may require much shorter notice, so contacting an attorney quickly is essential.

What if the insurance company denies my claim?

If your personal injury claim is denied, your attorney will review the evidence, communicate directly with the insurance company, and take legal action if necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Can I receive compensation if I was partially at fault?

Indiana’s comparative fault law allows you to recover damages even if you were partly responsible, as long as your fault is less than 51%. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How do you determine the value of my case?

We consider the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, lost wages, long-term effects, and pain and suffering. During your free consultation, your Dyer personal injury lawyer will provide a personalized estimate based on your specific circumstances.

What should I do after an accident in Dyer or Merrillville?
