Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your chances of success depend on the strength of your evidence, the severity of your injuries, and the ability to prove negligence. Our experienced Indianapolis personal injury attorneys can assess your case and develop a legal strategy to maximize your recovery.
Winning a personal injury lawsuit requires proving that another party’s negligence directly caused your injuries. Strong evidence like accident reports, medical records, and witness testimony can greatly improve your chances. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, but with skilled legal representation, you can fight for full and fair compensation. At Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers, we enlist a personalized approach and thoroughly investigate every case to build the strongest possible claim.
-
You need a personal injury lawyer with experience in trucking accidents and federal transportation regulations.
Unlike standard car accidents, trucking cases may involve the truck driver, their employer, vehicle manufacturers, and even cargo loaders. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations play a key role in determining liability. Our truck accident attorneys will analyze black box data, driver logs, and company safety records to strengthen your case. At Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers, we have the experience to take on big-rig insurance companies and fight for your maximum compensation.
-
Fault in a motorcycle accident can fall on the motorcyclist, the other driver, a government entity, or even a vehicle manufacturer. Determining liability in your specific case will depend on the circumstances of your crash.
Many motorcycle accidents occur due to driver negligence, such as failing to yield or distracted driving. However, poor road conditions, defective motorcycle parts, or even another rider’s actions can also play a role. Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. Our Indiana motorcycle accident lawyers will investigate every angle so that you aren’t unfairly blamed and that the responsible party is held accountable.
-
To win a medical malpractice case, you must prove that a healthcare provider’s negligence or reckless actions caused you harm. This requires showing that they failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
Medical malpractice claims often involve complex evidence, including expert testimony from medical professionals. You must demonstrate that the provider’s actions—or lack of action—directly caused your injury or worsened your condition. Common examples include surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and medication mistakes. Our firm works with medical experts to build strong cases and fight for justice on behalf of injured patients.
-
In Indiana, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Compensation is typically awarded to surviving family members, such as spouses, children, or dependents.
Wrongful death claims seek damages for funeral expenses, lost income, medical bills, and the emotional toll on surviving loved ones. Indiana law has different rules for cases involving adults, children, and dependents, making legal guidance essential. If you’ve lost a loved one due to negligence, our attorneys can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the justice your family deserves.
