Brownsburg Personal Injury Lawyers

At Morgan and Morgan, we do not charge upfront costs to our clients. Our initial consultation is 100% free of charge.

We work under a contingency fee agreement if you choose us to represent you. Under the agreement, we receive a percentage of any settlement or court verdict we win for you. If your case is unsuccessful, there’s no charge to you for our services.

Personal injury attorneys establish your lawsuit and develop a case strategy to pursue financial damages on your behalf. Depending on your case’s circumstances, an attorney will:

• Assemble evidence: medical bills, video, witness testimony, and police reports
• Speak with experts to add credibility to your claim
• Develop an effective case strategy per applicable laws
• Negotiate with insurance providers and other entities
• Establish the value of your case
• Represent you in the courtroom, if needed
• Handle all legal filings and paperwork

Dealing with the legal aspects of a personal injury case is time-consuming and stressful. Rather than attempting to negotiate with insurance providers and other agents independently, give your case to attorneys with extensive experience in personal injury claims.

When an insurance provider sees you’ve hired Morgan & Morgan, they know they won’t be able to take advantage of your situation. They’ll be more likely to offer you a fair settlement. We have no problem taking them to court if they don’t provide you with adequate compensation through the settlement process.

Each state has a statute of limitations that caps the time an individual has to pursue a personal injury claim. In Indiana, the statute of limitations is two years for all personal injury cases, including wrongful death, malpractice, and product liability.

While you have some time to pursue a claim, starting early is best. Your attorney will need time to assemble the facts and evidence of your case, including speaking with experts and obtaining witness testimony. The sooner you pursue your claim, the sooner you’ll receive the compensation you need to move forward.

The compensation you receive will depend on the type of case you file. In general, you may receive damages for your past and future medical costs, lost wages, and household expenses necessary for your recovery.

You may also receive compensation for mental pain and anguish, the injury itself, loss of quality of life, and disability or disfigurement. If your case goes to court, a judge may award punitive damages.

Loved ones seeking compensation in a wrongful death case can receive reimbursement for funeral and burial expenses and damages for emotional distress and loss of consortium or parental guidance.

It is possible to recover compensation for your injuries even if you’re partially responsible for the accident. Indiana uses a modified comparative fault rule for all personal injury lawsuits.

Under the modified comparative fault rule, you can recover compensation if you are less than 51% responsible for your injuries. A court will reduce your award to the extent you are at fault for the accident.

For instance, consider a person with $100,000 in financial losses from a car accident. They file a lawsuit, and the court determines they are 25% responsible for the collision. The court will reduce their award by 25%, so they’ll recover compensation of $75,000.

However, if the court finds that the person is 60% responsible for the accident, they cannot recover any damages.
Your personal injury attorney will review the facts of your case to determine whether you will pass Indiana’s modified comparative fault restrictions.

The value of your case depends on multiple factors, including the severity of your injuries and who is responsible. Every case is different, so providing a general estimate is impossible.

Your personal injury attorney will review the circumstances of your claim and determine how much you may recover in a settlement or court verdict.

The timeline of your case will vary, depending on the direction it goes. If the defendant is willing to settle your case for an adequate amount, it may take a few months to resolve. However, if they are unwilling to come to a settlement, the claim will go to court.

A court case can take several years to resolve since we will need to work within the court’s availability and develop your courtroom strategy.

Your personal injury attorney will be able to estimate the timeline for resolving your case once they understand its circumstances.

The team at Morgan and Morgan is standing by to help you resolve your personal injury lawsuit. When you work with us, you gain a team of qualified attorneys who will fight for the compensation you deserve.
