After a serious injury in an accident or incident in Scott County, you can call Indiana personal injury lawyer Thomas E. Scifres for help covering medical costs and claiming compensation.

Car crashes can be life-threatening in Scott County, even when the injuries are not deadly. In fact, any accident or incident that results in a severe or serious injury can derail your life and send you on a downward spiral.

Who Can File A Personal Injury Claim In Scott County, Indiana?

Personal Injury Lawyer Scott County Indiana

If a driver is roaring drunk and speeding when they spin out on I-65, no matter how bad their injuries are, chances are they cannot file for personal injury compensation. On the other hand, if they force a motorcyclist off the road who suffers similar injuries, that rider can file against the first driver.

This is because personal injury law revolves around the concept of negligence and fault.

  1. Fault is who caused the injury. If you get hurt in a workplace accident because you were tired, you might be at fault if you partied all night the day before, but your boss might be at fault if they kept you on an unending shift without proper breaks.
  2. Negligence requires that the person who caused the injury was acting carelessly, recklessly, or deliberately disregarding reasonable safety.

As long as both of the above conditions are met, and a negligent action that was not your fault caused your injuries, you can, through a personal injury claim, make sure that the people responsible (or their insurance company) pay for them.

A personal injury lawyer will help you figure out who, if anyone, can be held responsible for the injuries you have suffered.
