Answers From An Experienced Indianapolis Personal Injury Attorney

Your injuries impact your life and your family in very specific ways. What you’ve lost already or stand to lose in the future is very personal. It’s also very relevant to what maximum recovery looks like for you.
At Pavlack Law, LLC, we believe personal injury law is as much about the injured person as it is about the law. So we focus all of our efforts and experience to ensure we know both, which has worked out very well for everybody. Here are several common personal injury questions. We have gone the extra step and provided in-depth detailed answers to provide you with a basic level of information so that you are better equipped to make decisions.

What are the five steps of a personal injury claim?

While no two cases are exactly alike, injury cases can have similar elements. Here are the general steps involved in most claims after your initial meeting with us where we agree to move forward with your case.

1. Collect Evidence

We’ll investigate all related contracts, police reports, medical records/bills, photographs, etc. Information is currency in the legal world. We’ll turn over every stone to find it. Our experienced legal staff will anticipate and thoroughly research any tricky legal issues on the front end to avoid potential legal landmines.

2. Draft Legal Paperwork And File Suit

In many cases, we can broker a settlement before filing suit. But experience tells us that lawsuits are often inevitable, so we’ll draft legal pleadings for you that will withstand even the toughest legal challenges.

3. Formal Discovery

Once a case is filed, we will use the court’s rules of “discovery” to subpoena records, collect sworn answers to our questions and depose witnesses under oath.

4. Work With Experts

If we believe it will strengthen your case, we’ll solicit the expertise of independent medical professionals, engineers, economists or other subject matter experts on your behalf.

What costs should a claim cover?

In addition to medical bills, damages can include financial compensation for:

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering and emotional distress
• Permanent disability
• Mental impairment
• Repair or replacement of damaged or destroyed property
• Lost profits
• Interest due on money withheld

Every case is different because the details vary, as does the extent or severity of an injury. We want you to be informed, and this is why we offer a free case assessment. You have a right to know what your case is worth. Do not rely on the insurance company to tell you.
