Q&A

Tell us a little bit about your practice and what makes it unique.

  • Our office is one of the very few that focuses its practice solely on representing injured accident victims to ensure they receive fair and just compensation for their injuries.
 

What common questions are you asked by clients, and what are your answers?

  • Q: How much is my case worth?
    A: The value of a case depends on a plethora of variables and adequately assessing the value of a case is difficult and cannot be determined quickly.

    Q: What if I don't get any money, will I owe your firm?
    A: Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we don't collect a fee unless we are able to recover money for you. If we're unable to do that you don't owe us a dime. We'll even absorb the costs we've put forward to litigate your case.
 

What is most challenging about your area(s) of expertise?

  • The unwillingness of insurance companies to be reasonable in their negotiations.

Lawyer Case History

Significant Litigation

Enhanced injury-second impact.
Bill tried and won the first, second impact case in the United States in 1979. Case was Mark v. General Motors and was tried in Indianapolis, IN. and involved the dangerous design of a General Motor's vehicle bumper, which enhanced the injury of Daniel Mark, a minor pedestrian who was struck by the vehicle
 
Wrongful death of a child.

In about 1980, Bill twice tried and won, Mayberry v. Winona Hospital, which was appealed to the Supreme Court. This was the first time in Indiana where love and affection of parents was considered as an element of damage. While the Supreme Court reversed, the lawsuit resulted in the legislature enacting Indiana's child death Law.


In-house Insurance Counsel.

In 2000 Bill challenged the ethics of insurance companies having in house defense counsel in Cincinnati Insurance Company v. Wills. This case gained national attention and precipitated similar lawsuits throughout the country. While it was successful in trial court the Supreme Court in a split decision, unfortunately reversed.
