Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Indiana?

Accepted Answer

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline Indiana categories: big-box and grocery (Walmart, Target, Kroger, Meijer, Marsh, Costco, Sam's Club), restaurant and hotel, parking lot, apartment complex, shopping-center, and the high-volume Indiana winter ice and snow docket. We also cover auto / car accident, truck and 18-wheeler, motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, dog bite (negligence-based with strict liability for postal/government workers under Ind. Code § 15-20-1-3), wrongful death, and workplace and construction injuries. Most firms buying Indiana leads from us mix a heavy slip-and-fall and premises base (with seasonal ice/snow surge in winter) with steady auto and trucking flow. You can focus on a single case type, a subset, or the full Indiana PI spectrum.

Question 2

How does Indiana premises liability law work?

Accepted Answer

Indiana retains common-law visitor classifications: invitee, licensee, and trespasser. Invitees (the typical retail or restaurant customer) are owed the highest duty: a duty of reasonable care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition, including reasonable inspection for non-obvious hazards. Licensees are owed a duty to warn of known hidden hazards. Trespassers receive only a duty against willful or wanton injury (with limited child-trespasser exceptions). Indiana premises law generally still recognizes the open-and-obvious doctrine but as a fault-allocation factor under the Comparative Fault Act, not always a categorical bar. Surveillance preservation, incident-report status, and prior-complaint discovery drive Indiana slip-and-fall outcomes.

Question 3

How do Indiana winter slip-and-fall files work?

Accepted Answer

Indiana generates meaningful seasonal slip-and-fall volume November through March, especially in the I-65, I-69, I-70, I-94, and US-31 retail corridors. Indiana courts have generally followed a reasonable-care standard for snow-and-ice removal, with property owners owing a duty to use reasonable care to address foreseeable hazards (with the open-and-obvious factor folded into comparative-fault analysis under the Comparative Fault Act). Big-box, grocery, parking lot, and apartment-complex files concentrate in metro Indianapolis (Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks), Lake (NW Indiana), Allen (Fort Wayne), and St. Joseph (South Bend). We flag every Indiana premises lead with surface-condition context (ice, snow, water, debris, lighting, prior complaint) for accelerated routing.

Question 4

How does the Indiana dog bite framework work?

Accepted Answer

Indiana is unusual in its dog-bite framework. For the general public, Indiana follows a negligence-based / one-bite framework: the plaintiff must show either (1) the owner knew or should have known of the dog's dangerous propensities, OR (2) ordinary negligence in handling, restraining, or controlling the animal. STRICT LIABILITY applies under Indiana Code § 15-20-1-3 for victims who were carrying out duties under federal postal regulations or as government employees acting peaceably and discharging duties. That makes Indiana less plaintiff-friendly than strict-liability states like Illinois, Michigan, or Massachusetts on most dog-bite files, but materially more favorable when the victim is a postal worker, FedEx, UPS (where federal-employee analogies sometimes apply), or a state/local government employee. The 2-year general PI SOL applies.

Question 5

How much do Indiana premises liability and slip-and-fall leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Indiana premises and slip-and-fall lead pricing tracks the Google Ads auction. Personal injury commercial-intent CPCs across Indiana generally run $40 to $150, with metro Indianapolis (Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, Madison) at the top end and Evansville, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Bloomington, and rural counties meaningfully lower. We price per lead with no minimums and no contracts. Contact us for current pricing in your specific counties and case types.

Question 6

What is the statute of limitations for Indiana personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

Two years from the date of injury under Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4 for most personal injury claims, including premises, slip and fall, dog bite, auto, and product liability. Wrongful death also runs on a 2-year clock under Ind. Code § 34-23-1-1. Med-mal carries a 2-year SOL with limited discovery exceptions under Ind. Code § 34-18-7-1. Indiana Tort Claims Act (Ind. Code § 34-13-3) requires 180-day notice for political subdivisions and 270-day notice for State of Indiana claims. The notice requirement is the most common procedural trap on Indiana PI files involving public-entity defendants.

Question 7

How does Indiana's 51% bar comparative fault rule affect premises and PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Indiana applies the modified-comparative Comparative Fault Act under Ind. Code § 34-51-2-6 with a 51% bar. A plaintiff at 51%+ fault is fully barred from recovery; below 51%, recovery is reduced by the plaintiff fault percentage. The 50/51 line is unforgiving on premises files where defendants routinely argue open-and-obvious or visitor-failed-to-keep-a-proper-lookout. We screen Indiana PI leads with the 51% bar in mind so borderline-fault profiles are flagged for additional intake context, not auto-rejected.

Question 8

Does Indiana cap noneconomic damages on premises or PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Not on standard premises or auto cases. Indiana caps medical malpractice total recovery at $1.8M for malpractice on or after July 1, 2019 under Ind. Code § 34-18-14-3 (with $500K provider cap; excess paid by the Patient Compensation Fund). Indiana Tort Claims Act caps political-subdivision liability at $700K per person, $5M aggregate per occurrence (Ind. Code § 34-13-3-4). Punitive damages are capped at the greater of $50K or 3x compensatory under Ind. Code § 34-51-3-4, with 75% of any punitive award allocated to the State Violent Crime Victims Compensation Fund. Auto and premises compensatory damages on private-defendant files are uncapped.

Question 9

Are Indiana leads pre-screened against the 2-year SOL and Tort Claims Act?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Indiana lead is screened for SOL position, representation status, injury, and a 51% bar fault sanity check. Premises and slip-and-fall leads include surface-condition context (ice, snow, water, debris, lighting, prior-complaint indicators). Auto leads include fault context. Public-entity leads (city, county, state, INDOT, public hospitals, transit, school districts) are flagged for the 180/270-day ITCA notice windows before delivery, since missing notice is the most common way Indiana public-entity files are lost on procedure.

Question 10

Can I target specific Indiana counties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All 92 counties. Highest sustained PI claim volume comes from Marion (Indianapolis), Lake (Gary, Hammond, Crown Point), Allen (Fort Wayne), Hamilton (Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville), St. Joseph (South Bend, Mishawaka), Vanderburgh (Evansville), Hendricks, Madison, Tippecanoe (Lafayette, West Lafayette / Purdue), Elkhart, Porter, Monroe (Bloomington / IU), Vigo (Terre Haute), and Delaware (Muncie / Ball State). Premises and slip-and-fall files concentrate in the urban retail corridors of Marion and the collar counties, with steady volume from suburban big-box, grocery, restaurant, hotel, and apartment files in Hamilton, Hendricks, Lake, Allen, and St. Joseph. Target at the county or zip level so you only pay for leads in your actual service area.

Question 11

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
