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.
This is because injuries come with costs and losses that can ruin even to the most financially stable families. From hospital bills to time lost from work, injuries come with more costs and burdens than any of us are prepared to deal with.
Fortunately, under Indiana law, most injury victims in Scott County will be able to recover some or all of those costs. This is done with a personal injury claim against the person or company responsible for the accident and injury. Or against their insurance company.
To ensure you get the full and fair financial compensation you need, it is vital that you work with a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer. A lawyer, like Indiana’s Thomas Scifres, can answer all your questions, including whether or not you have grounds for a valid personal injury claim.
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.
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.
Personal injury law can apply to almost any kind of injury as long as the above conditions apply. As long as there is an insurance company that can cover the damages, we can help you claim the full compensation you are entitled to.
