What You Need to Know About Personal Injury in Indianapolis

Every day, people are injured simply because someone else did not use reasonable care.  These accidents could have been avoided, yet they change life forever for the victims of negligence.  The attorneys at Yosha Cook Shartzer & Tisch assist clients with a wide variety of Indianapolis personal injury cases, including those related to:

  • Auto vehicle accidents
  • Defective products
  • Dog bites
  • Slipping on a wet floor in a store
  • Unsafe work environments
  • Fires and explosions

Unfortunately, many of these cases result in serious injuries, causing permanent disability or even fatalities.

Types of compensation for Indianapolis personal injuries

Fair compensation for serious personal injuries in Indianapolis extends far beyond reimbursement for medical expenses.  Depending on the degree of injury, awards can include any or all the following:

  • Medical bills, including all follow-up visits, any required medical devices, medication, and physical therapy
  • Pain and suffering, largely determined by the discretion of the jury
  • Lost wages and earning capacity for as long as you are unable to work at your usual occupation
  • Physical impairment that remains after all possible medical treatment has been completed
  • Loss of affection, which may be granted to family members who depend on the victim for emotional support
  • Scarring which qualifies for reimbursement of plastic surgery expenses when this is an option or additional compensation when the scars cannot be removed

Punitive damages may also be awarded when it can be proved that the defendant acted with malice, fraud, gross negligence, or oppressiveness.
