My Indiana Personal Injury Claim Has Been Underestimated

If you have filed a personal injury claim after an accident in Indiana, you have probably already dealt with an insurance claims adjuster. It is the adjuster's job to estimate the value of your claim, and if they think your claim is valid, then the adjuster may offer you a monetary settlement. However, the adjuster will often offer you less money than you deserve since it is their job to protect their boss (the insurance company) and not you. 

This is when you'll want to consult with an Indianapolis personal injury lawyer (if you haven't already retained one) to negotiate with the insurance adjuster on your behalf. An Indianapolis injury lawyer can look at your case and help determine liability, how the state's negligence laws may affect your case, how to argue your percentage of fault based on the evidence available, and inform you as well as the insurance adjuster of what types of compensation you should be eligible to recover.

It's very common for insurance settlement offers to fail to include considerations for future medical expenses or future lost wages, even when an injury is clearly serious enough to warrant those expenses. Your Indianapolis injury lawyer can help fight for those provisions if they apply to your case.
