Steps to Protect Your Terre Haute Personal Injury Claim
Indiana’s personal injury laws require swift action to protect your rights. The state’s modified comparative fault rule means you cannot recover damages if found more than 50% at fault, so thorough case preparation is critical. Most claims, including those for auto accidents or medical malpractice, have a two-year statute of limitations from the injury date.
Compensation may cover medical costs, lost income, and emotional distress, but medical malpractice claims face a $1.8 million cap on non-economic damages. Our Terre Haute personal injury attorneys guide clients through each step – gathering evidence, filing claims, and negotiating with insurers – using our deep experience in Vigo County courts to seek maximum compensation on your behalf.
Medical Malpractice Help
Our attorneys have also represented numerous medical malpractice victims and their families. Medical malpractice claims can be difficult, lengthy, and expensive, but our firm has the experience and resources needed to assist you with your claim.
If you believe that you or a loved one have been a victim of medical negligence by Terre Haute Regional Hospital, Union Hospital, or another local health care provider, we can help.
