Many Evansville area residents have had the unfortunate experience of being in a car accident. Luckily, most of these accidents do not result in serious injuries.

A brain injury is one such injury that can turn a person's life upside down.

Accidents happen frequently on Indiana roads and oftentimes negligence is to blame. "Negligence" is a legal theory that suggests that individuals fail to act as they should and, as a result, cause damages and injuries to themselves and others. Generally, when a person acts negligently and inflicts harm on another person, the victim may be entitled to seek the recovery of losses as damages.
