Merrillville Personal Injury Attorneys

How a Merrillville Personal Injury Attorney Can Help

“Personal injury” is a legal term that covers a wide variety of accidents. Generally, an injury caused by someone else’s negligence (or recklessness) can be considered a personal injury.

So if you break your leg on your apartment steps because your landlord neglected to salt them, that would be a personal injury. If you suffered a traumatic brain injury because another driver swerved into your lane and hit your motorcycle, that would be a personal injury. Even suffering a bite from your neighbor’s dog may fall under the umbrella of personal injury.

At the end of the day, most personal injury cases share one thing in common: they’re personal. They involve serious injuries, setbacks, concerns, and questions that are difficult to share with a random stranger. Personal injuries often leave victims feeling vulnerable. The last thing they want is to be taken advantage of by an insurance company or law firm.

At Hensley Legal Group, we believe personal injuries require personal care. That’s why we’ve had an office in Merrillville since 2014 and have been serving injured victims in the community long before then. Our local Merrillville injury attorneys can give your case the personal attention it needs and use their strength and experience to make a difference in your personal injury claim.

A Risk-Free Guarantee from Your Merrillville Personal Injury Lawyers

Suffering a personal injury goes beyond sustaining physical damage to your body. There are other damages or losses a person may suffer, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or even a lost career. You have a legal right to compensation for these damages.

But how can you afford a personal injury attorney when you’re suffering from all of these losses? It’s simple: At Hensley Legal Group, we work on contingency.

What does that mean? It means we don’t get paid until you do. We’ll work for months or years on your case for free, and we won’t get paid unless and until we recover a settlement or award for you.

That’s how we can offer a risk-free guarantee to our clients. While you’re struggling in the aftermath of your accident, we won’t bother you with questions about payment. We’ll be too busy getting to work to get you the compensation you deserve. If we fail to secure compensation for you, you won’t owe us a single penny.

Our fee is the industry standard: 33.3 percent, or one-third, of your settlement. If you choose to file a lawsuit (something we will never force you to do), our fee becomes 40 percent of your settlement or award to cover the costs of going to trial.

Whether you were injured in a truck accident, at a hospital, in a nursing home, or on the stairs of your apartment, you deserve compensation. Our Merrillville personal injury attorneys are here for you. Call us today or contact us online for a free conversation about your claim.
