Applying Comparative Fault Rules In Indiana
Under Indiana law, you may seek compensation even if you contributed to an accident. However, the amount you could recover may decrease based on the percentage of fault assigned to you.
If you are 51% or more at fault, you generally cannot recover damages under Indiana’s comparative fault law. Insurance companies may also argue that an injured person caused or contributed to an accident. Our LaPorte County personal injury lawyers can review police reports, witness accounts and other records to help show what happened and advocate for your rights.
Seeking Compensation For Your Losses
An injury claim may cover several types of losses. What you may recover depends on the facts of your case. These may include:
- Medical costs, including treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost income, including reduced future earning ability
- Physical and emotional harm, including pain and distress
- Property damage, including damage to your car or other belongings
Our team will review your medical records, pay records and other documents related to your injury. These records may help show how the accident has affected your health, work and finances.
