Due to the many factors involved, personal injury cases can be very complex. We recommend seeking professional guidance for your personal injury case matters before it is too late. Our experienced Indianapolis personal injury lawyers can help you identify the compensation options in your case.

Personal Injury Matters We Can Assist You With

At Hovde Dassow + Deets, our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of personal injury cases. The types of cases we handle include:

Car accidents: In the aftermath of motor vehicle accidents, victims of reckless driving or negligence can pursue the compensation they deserve and hold responsible parties accountable for their actions. These cases can involve complex investigations and negotiations with insurance companies.
Slip-and-fall mishaps: Accidents involving slips and falls occur when property owners fail to maintain a safe environment, making it crucial for victims to prove negligence to seek fair compensation.
Other premises liability-related injuries: Other premises liability mishaps in public spaces or private properties can be complex and require thorough investigation to determine liability.
Product liability: Product liability cases involve defective products that cause harm to consumers, making it crucial to hold manufacturers and distributors accountable for their actions.
Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice occurs when health care professionals fail to meet standards of care. This can result in harm to patients, making it necessary for them to seek justice for their medical malpractice injuries.
Nursing home abuse: Nursing home abuse involves the neglect or mistreatment of vulnerable individuals, prompting their families to fight for justice and compensation for their loved ones.
Work injuries: Employees who suffer work injuries can pursue workers’ compensation benefits. In some cases, employees may also be able to file a personal injury claim against a third party, such as a manufacturer of a defective product or a contractor, who may be responsible for their injuries.

We recognize the pain, hardship and setbacks these injuries can bring for you and your family. Let us seek the compensation you need on your behalf. That way, you can focus on getting better.

What Compensation Can You Recover In A Personal Injury Claim?

When you suffer an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses and suffering. You may be eligible for various types of damages, including:

Economic damages: Examples are medical expenses, lost wages and property damage. These compensate you for financial losses.
Noneconomic damages: These include pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life, which are intended to compensate you for nonfinancial losses.
Punitive damages: These aim to punish defendants for malicious, intentional or blatant misconduct. Courts award these damages sparingly, reserving them for cases involving grave misconduct to deter similar behavior and hold defendants accountable.

Understanding the different types of damages is crucial in determining the value of your claim. Many people ask, “What is my case worth?” The answer depends on various factors, such as the severity of your injury, the extent of your medical treatment, the injury’s impact on your daily life, the parties involved and the applicable laws.

Our seasoned lawyers can help you navigate the complex process of seeking compensation and ensure that you pursue the justice you deserve. Our goal is to help you recover physically, emotionally and financially.

What Can A Personal Injury Attorney Do For You?

A personal injury attorney can help you seek damages from your insurance company or the party that hurt you so that your recovery is paid for. Obtaining compensation from either can be challenging, but a personal injury attorney can gather evidence, witness statements and insight from medical professionals to demonstrate the severity of your injury and how the other party’s negligence caused that injury. A personal injury attorney can handle all the cumbersome paperwork and tight deadlines of submitting a personal injury claim so that you and your family can focus exclusively on your recovery.

When Should You Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Injury is so severe that you can’t work
Medical bills are expensive enough to put you into debt
The insurance company refuses to pay you the compensation you deserve
The insurance company doesn’t pay you the appropriate compensation you deserve
