Why should I hire a lawyer?

If you or a loved one was injured or their civil rights were violated, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Mark Sniderman can evaluate your situation, explain your rights, and give you advice about your case.

What should I expect during my initial interview?

In our first meeting, I will ask questions to learn about your situation. We will discuss your goals, I will answer your questions, and we will begin to formulate a plan to move you forward.

When should I expect to hear from you after our first meeting?

I will remain in regular contact with you and will advise you of any updates on your case. You should feel comfortable contacting me at any time with questions or concerns you have about your case.

What is the statute of limitations for my case?

The statute of limitations is the law that sets the amount of time you have to file your case in court. If you do not file a lawsuit within the specified time period, your case will be time-barred, and you will be unable to recover compensation for the harm you suffered.

The statute of limitations for some Indiana civil rights and injury cases is two years from the date of the violation. But your case could be subject to a shorter, or longer,  statute of limitations.  And your case may have much shorter deadlines to serve or file appropriate papers. To protect yourself and preserve your rights, contact an attorney as quickly as possible.

How much is my case worth?

Every case is unique, and the amount of money you can recover will depend on various factors. Attorney Sniderman will learn about the facts of your case and work to obtain the compensation to which you are entitled by law.

In an Indiana personal injury or civil rights claim, you are entitled to compensation for: 

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Other out-of-pocket expenses

You are also entitled to compensation for non-economic damages, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disfigurement
  • Humiliation
  • Loss of consortium

If a loved one died because someone else was negligent, reckless, or careless, you may recover money for:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Financial support the deceased person would have provided 
  • Emotional support and services 
  • Loss of love and companionship
  • Conscious pain and suffering endured by the deceased person

Attorney Sniderman can evaluate your situation, explain your options, and help you and your family recover pursuant to the law.
