Indianapolis Workers’ Compensation & Personal Injury Lawyers

Decades of Experience with Workplace & Accident Injury Claims

At Leonard Law Group, we represent injured people in workers’ compensation and personal injury matters. Our Indianapolis office serves clients who need experienced legal guidance after a workplace injury, vehicle collision, medical error, or another serious accident.

We bring nearly 30 years of experience handling injury claims and have recovered more than $1 billion for injured clients across our practice. If an injury may involve workers’ compensation benefits, a personal injury claim, or both, we can review the facts and discuss your options.

Direct Partner Involvement Throughout Your Case

When you retain us, the partner who begins your case stays directly involved throughout. We dedicate ample time and resources to investigating the issues that shape a claim. What that means in practice: 

• You won’t be passed from one attorney to another while important decisions are being made. 
• We emphasize consistent communication so you always know your claim status, the information we need, and the next steps.
• Depending on the circumstances, we may review medical records, work restrictions, wage information, employment records, accident reports, and communications with an employer or insurance company. 

Workers’ Compensation Claims in Indianapolis

As your Indianapolis workers’ compensation attorneys, part of our job is helping you address benefit disputes and pursue available relief. We handle claims involving traumatic injuries, repetitive stress injuries, occupational illnesses, medical expense disputes, temporary disability benefits, permanent impairment, vocational rehabilitation, and denied workers’ compensation claims.

The Indiana Worker's Compensation Board administers formal adjudication and informal dispute resolution for workers' compensation disputes. Indiana claims may involve medical treatment, rehabilitation, income benefits, or impairment-related benefits, depending on the injury and employment circumstances.

Important steps after a workplace injury include:

• Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Waiting more than 30 days may affect a claim.
• Keep copies of accident reports, benefit notices, medical records, and correspondence about your claim.
• Document work restrictions, missed time, and communications about medical care or benefits.
• Seek legal guidance promptly if benefits are delayed, denied, reduced, or terminated.

Indiana has deadlines that can affect a workers’ compensation claim. State guidance identifies a two-year limitations rule from the injury date or, in some situations, the last date compensation was paid. 

Employers may direct medical care in Indiana workers’ compensation cases. We represent injured workers in communications and disputes involving employers and insurance companies, including disagreements about medical bills, treatment, compensability, and temporary disability benefits.

Personal Injury Representation for Serious Accidents

Our Indianapolis personal injury lawyers can evaluate serious accident claims involving vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and other injuries caused by another party’s conduct. Personal injury claims generally require evidence that another party acted negligently, caused the injury, and resulted in legally recoverable damages.

A claim may involve medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, disability, and future losses. Insurance company disputes often turn on the available evidence, the nature of the injury, and the parties’ responsibilities.

A workplace injury can also raise third-party liability issues. For example, someone other than an employer may be responsible for an unsafe condition or collision. We can assess whether a separate personal injury claim may exist alongside a workers’ compensation matter.

How to Prepare for Your Free Consultation

Bring all documentation you have concerning the injury and be prepared to discuss when and where the injury occurred, what was reported, what medical care you received, any current work restrictions, lost income, and any denial letter or insurance communication.

Helpful information to preserve includes:

• Accident reports and photographs
• Medical records and treatment bills
• Wage statements and work restriction notices
• Witness names and contact information
• Insurance correspondence and benefit notices

We offer free initial consultations, free second opinions for people concerned about existing representation, and Spanish-speaking services.
