Every year, millions of Americans are injured as a result of the negligence of another person. When this occurs, victims are almost always entitled to some form of compensation. To obtain just and fair compensation, however, victims need to hire a competent and experienced law firm. At The Hastings Law Firm in Indianapolis, Indiana, a personal injury attorney will take all the necessary steps to help clients achieve favorable settlements. Although the field of personal injury law is very broad, we have included a brief description of personal injury and wrongful death cases that are the focus of our practice.
In many cases, explosions and fires result from the negligent actions of utility companies, corporations and individuals. Because of the catastrophic nature of injuries caused by fires and explosions, victims are often entitled to substantial compensation.
Construction accidents can arise from the negligence of a general contractor, a subcontractor or another third-party. Because Indiana does not generally permit a direct lawsuit against an injured worker’s employer, an Indianapolis, Indiana personal injury attorney at The Hastings Law Firm will focus on claims against negligent third-parties.
The people charged with watching and protecting children often fail in their responsibilities to properly care for children.

Brain and spinal cord injuries can have devastating, long-term consequences for victims and their families.

The lawyers at The Hastings Law Firm are dedicated to obtaining justice for the victims and families of brain and spinal cord injuries.
Because of their size and the difficulty involved in driving them, semi trucks and tractor trailers can pose unique hazards to drivers. Often trucking companies do not perform adequate background checks on the truck drivers they hire and often the drivers do not follow the regulations that pertain to the operation of semi trucks. Contact the Hastings Law Firm if you have been involved in a trucking accident.
Auto accidents are dangerous, costly, and all-too-common. A lawsuit can often help accident victims obtain compensation for their suffering, even if they were partially at fault for the accident.
