How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help Your Case

Types of Compensation in an Indiana Personal Injury Lawsuit

Damages in Indiana personal injury claims and lawsuits generally fall into three categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.

Economic Damages

Non-Economic Damages

Commonly referred to as general damages, non-economic damages are typically more difficult to quantify because there are no financial statements, bills, or other documentation that assigns them a monetary value. Since these losses are subjective, an Indiana personal injury attorney will usually use the amount of the victim’s economic losses as a base when determining their worth. Non-economic damages might include:

  •  Disability
  •  Disfigurement
  •  Loss of enjoyment
  •  Loss of companionship
  •  Mental anguish
  •  Pain and suffering

The Elements of an Indiana Personal Injury Lawsuit

Four elements must exist for a personal injury lawsuit to be successful in Indiana.

1. Duty of Care

The first step in proving negligence in a personal injury claim or lawsuit is to establish that the defendant owed a duty to the victim to exercise reasonable care. Since motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and property owners typically owe a duty of care to people in their vicinity.

2. Breach of Duty

The second element that must exist is that the defendant did not exercise reasonable care, therefore breaching his or her duty. To establish breach of duty, a personal injury attorney might prove that the defendant was texting and driving, speeding, or drinking and driving. In premises liability cases, the lawyer might show that the property owner failed to remedy a dangerous condition.

3. Causation

Causation is the third element that must exist in a personal injury claim or lawsuit. To satisfy this element, a personal injury lawyer will need to show that the defendant’s failure to exercise reasonable care was a cause of the victim’s injury. In cases where multiple factors contribute to causing an accident, legal liability is typically divided in proportion to each defendant’s degree of fault.

4. Damages

To recover compensation after an accident in Indiana, the victim must have suffered actual economic or non-economic harm as a result of the defendant’s negligence. There is nothing to compensate the victim for, after all, if no injury exists. To satisfy this requirement, a personal injury lawyer might submit documentation like medical bills and records or paycheck stubs to the court or have witnesses testify how the injuries have impacted the person.
