Dedicated Greenwood Personal Injury Lawyer Battles for Fair Payment

Proven Indiana attorney obtains financial recoveries in trials and settlements

When you’ve been hurt because someone else was careless or reckless, you and your family face financial difficulties in addition to your physical harm. At these times, you want an experienced personal injury litigator who’ll fight just as hard as you would to obtain fair payment for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering and any other compensable damages. My Greenwood firm, Schneider-Pollard Law, LLC, delivers this type of aggressive advocacy in all types of personal injury matters, including those relating to car accidents, falls and defective products. With more than six years as a deputy prosecuting attorney, I know how to handle complex lawsuits such as traumatic brain injury claims as well as building and construction cases that often involve multiple parties. Whatever your specific injury entails, I will focus on obtaining the best possible result.

Skillful firm handles all aspects of motor vehicle accident claims

In cases involving vehicle rollovers, rear-end collisions and other types of auto accidents, my firm provides comprehensive legal support. I have the knowledge and experience to handle issues such as:

• Insurance claims — Indiana has a fault-based auto insurance system, so it’s important to have a skillful attorney to determine who caused a crash. I’ll also help you decide whether to seek relief in court, make a claim against your insurer or look for payment from the at-fault driver’s carrier.
• Truck accidents — If your car has been struck by a commercial vehicle, my firm will closely examine the circumstances to see if the particular rules that govern trucks were violated.
• Pedestrian accidents — A distracted driver or one who fails to obey laws protecting walkers can cause devastating harm to a pedestrian. When necessary, we’ll bring in experts and fact witnesses to reconstruct what occurred in the accident that injured you.

Even if you are unsure about your ability to prevail in a vehicle accident claim or another type of personal injury action, my firm offers a free initial consultation so you can get the information you need without risk.

Knowledgeable adviser handles cases arising from slip and fall incidents

Though property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonable safety standards, someone who suffers a slip and fall injury may face significant resistance holding the property owner liable. Under state law, a personal injury victim cannot win a recovery if they are held to be more than 50 percent responsible for the incident. In these premises liability cases, I know how to find evidence of harmful negligence, such as damaged floors or failure to clear walkways or driveways of hazardous weather conditions. My firm will work tirelessly to anticipate and counter any defenses so that you can collect the full damage award you are entitled to.

Established counselor represents people hurt by defective products

Every day, we handle all types of consumer and industrial products without thinking about the potential dangers. Unfortunately, even a small error in the design, manufacture or labeling of an item can trigger serious harm to the user. These acts of negligence often put plaintiffs in a tough position, because of the resources that large companies bring to these cases, but I have the real-world experience to investigate where the problems occurred. From there, I take on defendants, their insurers and lawyers in products liability actions to hold parties accountable for their negligence.

Indianapolis-area attorney litigates wrongful death actions

A fatal act of negligence or willful misconduct leaves a huge hole for the loved ones left behind. Though the financial loss is only one small part of these tragedies, it is important to remember that legal relief is available to cover funeral costs, medical expenses, and wages that would have been earned by the decedent. My firm represents personal representatives of victims’ estates to secure a measure of justice for the victim’s beneficiaries.
