Lafayette Injury Attorneys

at Your Service

Lafayette, Indiana sits on the banks of the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County. Named after Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette, the county seat is home to Purdue University as well as large manufacturing plants like Subaru of Indiana, Caterpillar, and Wabash National. Lafayette is framed by I-65 and US 52 connecting Chicago to Indianapolis and US 231 to Rensselaer and eventually Kentucky to the south. Travelers can catch a baseball game at Loeb Stadium, walk the Wabash Heritage Trail, tour Purdue University’s campus or get dinner at one of the local restaurants in Lafayette’s historic downtown.

Lafayette Injury Attorneys at Your Service

Hensley Legal Group combines the power of a nationwide attorney with the compassion and integrity of a local firm. Our injury attorneys are available to assist Lafayette citizens with all types of personal injury claims.

Lafayette Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Lafayette and Tippecanoe County have one of the highest rates of traffic accidents involving young drivers in the state of Indiana. Purdue has the second largest student body in Indiana. Combined with the influx of traffic from Chicago, heavy haulers from manufacturing plants, and farming vehicles from the surrounding countryside, the roads can become dangerous for inexperienced drivers.

When there are more drivers on the road, the chance of a traffic collision increases, especially if the other drivers were acting recklessly. Unsafe driver actions cause 65 percent of all Indiana traffic collisions. These reckless behaviors include:

  • Drunk driving
  • Speeding
  • Aggressive driving
  • Distracted driving, including using a cell phone while driving

If you were injured in a car accident because of the other driver’s reckless or negligent behavior, you may be entitled to compensation. Through a personal injury claim, you can recover monetary and non-economic damages.

Medical bills: The least your car accident settlement should do is cover your medical bills. This includes physical therapy.

Lost wages: You deserve to be compensated for the time you’ve had to take off work to heal. If you can no longer do the same work due to your injuries, your settlement can also cover loss of earning potential.

Pain and suffering: The emotional impact of a car accident is harder to quantify than a physical injury. Compensation for pain and suffering includes shock, anxiety, the adverse effects the accident will have on your mental health in the future, as well as physical pain from your injuries.

Automobile accident injury claims can be complex, especially if you are recovering from an injury. The personal injury attorneys at Hensley Legal Group have been helping car accident victims get compensation they deserve for over two decades. For a free conversation about your car accident claim, please call Hensley Legal Group at (317) 472-3333.

Lafayette Social Security Disability Attorney

Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) provides much-needed benefits for people who are no longer able to work due to a physical or mental illness. Unfortunately, getting approved for Social Security disability benefits can be a long and frustrating process. Most participants are denied the first time they apply.

You don’t have to go through the application process alone. The Social Security disability lawyers of Hensley Legal Group can help you file an application, appeal the decision if you are denied, and present you in court if your claim needs to go before a judge.

If we don’t get you approved for benefits, our work for you is free, including the initial conversation about your disability claim. Call our Lafayette law office at (317) 472-3333 or fill out the contact form on this page to schedule a consultation.

Lafayette Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer

Loaded semi-trucks go in and out of Wabash National, Caterpillar and other manufacturing plants carrying goods to Indiana and the rest of the nation. Semi-trucks are essential for the local and national economy, but at their size, they can be extremely dangerous to smaller vehicles.

Semi-truck accidents often leave victims with devastating injuries and immense financial losses. The severity of truck accidents make them expensive to settle, and trucking companies will try hard to deny or discredit your claim.

When it comes to filing a truck accident claim, faster is always better. Who knows what evidence may disappear while you are waiting to contact an attorney?

If you were a victim of a semi-truck accident, a Lafayette truck injury lawyer can help get you the settlement you deserve. The faster you get an injury attorney on your case, the stronger your claim can be.

Lafayette Fall Injury Lawyer

You may feel like it was your fault that you slipped, tripped, or fell, but if your fall injury was really the fault of the property owner, you shouldn’t have to pay for your medical bills.

Premises liability means that business owners are responsible for injuries that happen on their property. This isn’t limited to slip and falls: premises liability also covers dog bites, structural problems, and inadequate security that leads to physical harm.

Business owners may try to intimidate you or even obfuscate evidence proving their negligence. At Hensley Legal Group, our trial lawyers know how to stand their ground. For a free conversation about your slip and fall case, please call us at (317) 472-3333. You should never have to pay for someone else’s negligence.

Lafayette Workers’ Compensation Attorney

If you were injured on the job, you should be covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. Most of the time, work comp claims are straightforward. But if your claim is denied, or if a third party is responsible for your injury, getting compensation may not be so easy.

Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible for injury claims, including injuries at work. They may deny your claim for a multitude of reasons, including:

Pre-existing conditions. Depending on your medical history, they may say that your injury already existed or worsened for reasons unrelated to the accident.

Failure to report. You must report a work injury to your supervisor or manager immediately. Not only does this ensure you won’t miss any deadlines, but it also gives them fewer opportunities to say your injury occurred outside of work.

Lack of medical evidence. Unless it is an emergency, you must go to the doctor that your employer approves through their insurance.

Bills and medical records from your personal doctor will not be considered in your work comp claim. In Indiana, you cannot go to your own doctor unless the employer’s doctor agrees that they can provide you with treatment that they cannot.

Your claim may be denied even if it is legitimate. Don’t wait – contact the Lafayette work injury lawyers at Hensley Legal Group for a free conversation about your work comp claim.

I was in an accident involving three totaled vehicles and ultimately one fatality. I’d never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to even start. So glad I called Hensley! They were so easy to work with and I’m sure got far more for me than I would’ve been able to get myself. They were kind, professional, and got the job done!

Lafayette Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Nursing homes are supposed to be a kind of haven for our elderly loved ones, where they can live comfortably and safely while receiving medical care. Unfortunately, they are often vulnerable to acts of abuse or neglect from the very people we trust to take care of them.

Elder abuse is a crime. If you suspect your loved one isn’t receiving proper care or is being abused at an Lafayette nursing home, you should report it right away. Signs of nursing home abuse or neglect include:

  • Increase in depression or withdrawal from peers
  • Weight loss despite no reported change in exercise or diet
  • Not being bathed or showered regularly
  • Unexplained bruises or infections
  • Unexplained medication changes

Abusing nursing home residents is a heinous act. The personal injury attorneys at Hensley Legal Group are dedicated to fighting for your loved one’s rights. Call us at (317) 472-3333 for a free conversation about your nursing home claim.

Lafayette Medical Malpractice Lawyers

We trust our healthcare providers to take care of us when we are most vulnerable. Even if treatment doesn’t give the result we hope for, we should still be able to expect competent medical care.

Malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed by the negligence of their healthcare provider. Common examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical errors
  • Anesthetic errors
  • Medication errors
  • Birth injuries, to the child or mother
  • Infection caused by unsanitary conditions

Medical malpractice claims are one of the most complicated areas that we handle at Hensley Legal Group. First, victims must present overwhelming evidence that their injury was not just a mistake, but a clear result of negligence. Evidence may be hard to find if they aren’t sure where to look. Secondly, hospitals have expensive legal departments dedicated to fighting malpractice claims.

The state of Indiana has passed limits on the amount of compensation the victim can recover in a medical malpractice lawsuit. An experienced malpractice attorney can walk you through how to file a malpractice claim, and what compensation you are entitled to.
We trust our healthcare providers to take care of us when we are most vulnerable. If you were a victim of medical malpractice, please call us today at (317) 472-3333 for a free case evaluation.

Lafayette Wrongful Death Attorney

Losing a loved one is a painful life-altering event. If you have lost a loved one because of the recklessness or negligence of another person, a wrongful death claim may help you get justice. A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed by a personal representative of the deceased, usually the next of kin. With a wrongful death, claim you can get compensation for:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Medical expenses accrued prior to death
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of financial support
  • Estimated lifetime income

Compensation cannot replace your loved one, but it can ease the financial burden of a sudden loss. It is important to note that not just anyone can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. There are limits on who can receive money from a wrongful death settlement. In Indiana, there is also a time limit for wrongful death claims, ending at two years after the date of death.

You deserve room to grieve after your loss. Let the personal injury attorneys at Hensley Legal Group do the work for you. We will file the claim for you, represent you in court, and walk you through the legal process so you know what to expect. Your initial call to us is always free. To discuss pursuing compensation for wrongful death, please don’t hesitate to call (317) 472-3333.

Lafayette Dog Bite Attorney

Your dog might be your best friend, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe around everyone else. Dog bites can cause long-term disfigurement, disability, and are sometimes even fatal for children.

Indiana law allows victims of dog bites to recover medical bills, lost income, and non-economic damages from the dog bite owner within the bounds of Indiana’s “one bite” rule. If the victim can show evidence that the dog’s owner knew or should have known that their dog is likely to bite, the dog owner can be held liable.

If you or a loved one suffered injuries from a dog bite, call Hensley Legal Group in Lafayette at (765) 446-4222 for a free consultation.
