Central Indiana Work Injury Attorney
Workplace injuries can be devastating to a family. If you cannot work, you may have significant difficulties supporting yourself and your family. Workers' compensation is a no-fault remedy for people who have been injured in the workplace. One advantage of workers' compensation is that you do not have to prove your employer caused your injuries. One major disadvantage of workers' compensation is that it only pays for your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages. Workers' compensation does not provide for all of a worker's lost income, nor does it provide for pain and suffering and other noneconomic damages.
In order to receive full compensation for your injuries, someone other than your employer must be responsible for your workplace injury. In these situations, you can file what is called a third-party claim for all of your damages. Jacobs Law LLC helps working men and women who have been injured on the job file third-party claims.
Our law firm does not represent injured workers in workers' compensation claims. Instead, we devote our practice in this area to helping people file third-party claims. If you have a personal injury claim arising out of your workplace injury, we will coordinate efforts with your workers' compensation lawyer or refer you to one.
Making a Complete Investigation of Your Workplace Injury
Our Indianapolis workplace accident attorneys will review the cause, or causes of your accident in order to see exactly who was at fault. For example, many construction accidents are caused by defective products, or by the negligence of a subcontractor. People who drive for their jobs can be injured in automobile accidents. If someone other than your employer is responsible, or shares responsibility for your injuries, our law firm will be prepared take action. In every case, our primary concern will be determining how our law firm can maximize the value to your injury claim.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
