Indiana's Personal Injury Attorney FAQs

What should I do if I am in an auto accident?

First you should file a police report. Be aware that insurance companies will attempt to skew evidence in favor of not covering expenses. See your own physician and not the one the insurance company wants you to see. It is recommended that you contact the Law Offices of Tony Zirkle as soon as possible following your accident to maximize your chance of receiving compensation. Our firm has won numerous large settlements for clients injured in auto accidents. Often we examine avenues for recovery beyond insurance, such as a product liability lawsuit against an auto manufacturer in the case of an unsafe vehicle.

I was injured at work, but I know my employer will not believe my side of the story. What can I do when I'm up against a large company?

The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle will investigate the details of your work accident or injury and will gather evidence from all possible sources - you, colleagues, witnesses, contractors, physicians, and anyone else familiar with your injury. Employers are required by law to provide workers compensation and to ensure the safety of their workers. If you were injured or a loved one was injured or killed on the job, you have rights. We will work to level the playing field between you and your employer and to win compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Each state has a statute of limitations that dictates how long you have to file a personal injury claim. In Indiana, personal injury and medical malpractice claims must be filed within two years of the injury or when the injury was actually discovered. This is called the discovery rule; an example would be exposure to toxic substances in the workplace that begin to produce symptoms five years after retirement.

I will be filing suit on behalf of my spouse. How does this work if (s)he cannot participate in the case?

Our attorneys will work closely with you and will compile all evidence so that your spouse's case is accurately presented. Often we do not need testimony from victims themselves, but rather from families, co-workers, accident witnesses, physicians, expert witnesses, accident reconstruction experts, and other third parties.
