Lawsuit loans in Indiana

Known for its diverse economy and famous education institutions, prosperous sports industry, galleries, and theatres, the Hoosier state is booming with activities. However, the courtrooms are flooded with lawsuits. With so many cases waiting to be settled, hearings are becoming more protracted. Thus, putting a financial strain on plaintiffs and their families. In addition to delayed judgments, another implication of protracted litigations is a loss of wages. Often, because plaintiffs, especially those involved in personal injuries and car accidents, can't sustain the financial burden of litigations, they easily get misled by defense attorneys and insurers to drop their case and settle for less than they deserve.

According to a recent report by the Indiana University Public Policy Institute, 219,112 traffic accidents were recorded in 2017. Of this number, over 50,000 resulted in non-fatal crashes, while at least 910 fatalities were reported. Other top causes of accidents in Indiana include driving while under the influence of alcohol. Impaired driving caused 6,470 collisions in 2017. Excessive speed and distracted driving caused 28,928 collisions and 10,738 collisions, respectively. Other causes of traffic accidents include aggressive driving, following too closely, not yielding to the right of way, and disregarding traffic signs. With these statistics, you now know what traffic hazards to look out for whenever you are on the roads.

You should have it at the back of your mind that Indiana operates the comparative fault doctrine. The comparative fault doctrine means that the plaintiff's compensation will be reduced by the percentage they are deemed to be at fault for the injury. In simple terms, your compensation will be reduced by 40% if you are found to be 40% at fault for the injury. However, you can only claim compensation if you are not more than 50% at fault for your injury.

You had probably been wondering what the statute of limitations is? To ensure that evidence and witnesses' integrity are not compromised, plaintiffs are expected to file their claims within a stipulated time.

This is also done to prevent parties from threatening a lawsuit for long. If you miss the stipulated time set for your case, you will lose the right to sue for damages.
