How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost in La Porte, IN?

Most personal injury cases at Braje, Nelson & Janes, LLP are handled on a contingency fee basis: you pay no attorney fee unless the firm recovers compensation for you. There are no upfront costs or hourly rates, so you can focus on healing. The fee is a percentage of the final settlement or court award, agreed upon before the firm proceeds with your case.

  • What Is the Deadline to File a Personal Injury Claim in Indiana?

    Indiana's personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing that deadline can permanently bar your right to recover damages. The sooner you contact a personal injury lawyer in La Porte, IN, the better your chances of preserving evidence and meeting every court deadline.

  • What Must I Prove to Win a Personal Injury Case in La Porte?

    Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as your share of fault is 50% or less, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. The firm's attorneys evaluate liability, gather evidence, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf before LaPorte County's Superior Courts.
