Indianapolis Injury Lawyer

Indianapolis Injury Lawyer

Few other things turn life upside-down more quickly or more completely than a sudden and severe personal injury. As the victim struggles to recover, the family struggles to pay a mounting pile of bills. That financial stress makes physical recovery more difficult, creating a downward spiral. All the while, insurance adjusters call almost constantly demanding settlement.

The compassionate Indianapolis injury lawyers at Holland & Holland understand what you are going through. So, we work quickly to take care of medical bills, transportation requirements, and other immediate needs. Additionally, we build a case for fair compensation. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering.

Practice Areas

A personal injury caused by someone else’s negligence can affect any person at any time. Some examples include:

• Dog Bites: Frequently, animal attacks cause physical and emotional wounds. The physical injuries include severe lacerations, deep puncture wounds, and knockdown-related head injuries. Additionally, many of these victims deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-type symptoms.
• Vehicle Collisions: Each year, millions of Americans are killed or seriously injured in car wrecks. Negligence, which is a lack of ordinary or statutory care, causes over 90% of these incidents.
• Falls: Older adults are particularly susceptible to these serious injuries. These individuals are more at risk for a fall and the resulting injuries are usually more severe, often because of pre-existing medical conditions.
• Construction Accidents: Workers’ compensation is often not the exclusive remedy in these situations. Many of these victims have additional legal options which could mean additional compensation.

In all these cases, the victim/plaintiff must establish negligence by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not). That is the lowest standard of proof in Indiana law.

Our Approach

A combination of hard work and skilled advocacy helps our Indianapolis injury lawyers quickly and fairly resolve negligence cases.

As mentioned, we work to build a case for compensation. That means collecting evidence on your behalf. Usually, this evidence consists of witness statements, the police accident report, the victim’s own testimony, and medical records.

Moreover, electronic evidence is often available. Examples include a vehicle’s Event Data Recorder, which is a lot like a commercial jet’s black box flight recorder, and video footage from security cameras.

Once this strong evidentiary foundation is in place, our Indianapolis injury lawyers add the walls and roof. The result is a strong and attractive house which withstands insurance company defenses, like contributory negligence, and is compelling for the jury.

Typically, the more evidence we present, the higher the damages are. There is usually a direct relationship between the amount of evidence in a case and the amount of damages jurors award.
