How to Handle Your Indiana Negligence Case (Part B)

Now that you know what type of negligence laws that Indiana follows, you need to know what steps you'll be looking at after your auto accident. For your injury claim in Indiana you will want to contact the law office of Indianapolis attorneys for advice and assistance.

5 Parts of an Injury Claim in Indiana

1. Duty - If the court recognizes that the defendant owes the plaintiff a duty -- that the defendant is at fault for what the plaintiff claims -- then the duty must be paid. A judge instead of the jury in the trial usually makes this decision.
2. Breach of Duty - If the defendant were to not fulfill the duty repayment that he or she owes, that is considered a breach of duty. This occurs after the ramifications of the owed duty are solidified and approved by the court.
3. Cause in Fact - During the trial the plaintiff is required to prove that the defendant's action caused the injuries directly (typically in a cause-effect relationship).
4. Proximate Cause - Refers to the scope of a defendant's responsibility in the case. If the defendant is the cause for damages that are considered to be outside the realm that he or she could have foreseen, then that injury is not counted.
5. Damages - The plaintiff in the case is furthermore required to prove their injuries legally.
