The most important issue to many clients that have been involved in a Fort Wayne personal injury accident is the amount of damages they will receive. At The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle, acquiring fair and just compensation for your injuries is our primary concern.

Our Fort Wayne personal injury attorney our known for our first-class representation.
After a judge or jury finds the defendant liable for the personal injuries you sustained, the issue moves to what types of damages and the amount of damages you are entitled to receive. As you may know, if you suffer a personal injury, you will likely require costly medical attention and rehabilitation. Moreover, you may endure substantial pain and suffering, which may be ongoing. Furthermore, you may lose income and/or use up ¨sick time¨ due to your injury, and may continue to lose income during recovery. You may have sustained property damage to your automobile and other property. Also, you may have to rent a car while your damaged vehicle is being repaired. Furthermore, for a period of time or permanently, you may lose the ability to perform activities that were once part of your normal daily life before the personal injury occurred.
Indiana law allows you to seek recovery after an accident to make you whole again. Indiana law works as best as the law can to compensate the injured party in an effort to put them back to the same position they were in before the accident occurred. In most personal injury lawsuits the plaintiff must have been injured in some way in order to be entitled an award for damages. For example, in negligence cases the attorney at The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle must prove that the plaintiff suffered some type of physical, emotional, or monetary harm for the defendant to be ordered to pay damages. Yet, with some intentional harms such as battery, assault, or trespass, in order to recover damages we may only have to prove that the defendant engaged in the unauthorized activity, without proving that the plaintiff suffered actual harm. It should be noted that damages in these situations are nominal if not accompanied by a serious personal injury.
The three basic kinds of damages awarded to the plaintiff in personal injury cases are compensatory damages, punitive damages, and nominal damages.
In all matters involving personal injury it is extremely necessary that measures be taken to promptly preserve evidence, to investigate the situation in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations. If you or a loved one was a victim of personal injuries, please call a attorney at The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle immediately or use the form on this page to contact a Fort Wayne attorney now. After all, the first consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we work on a contingent fee basis, which means we only get paid for our services if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Do not delay! You might be entitled to compensation for your injuries; however, a lawsuit must be filed before the Indiana statute of limitations expires.
