Experienced Lawyers Serving Avon, Indiana

Living In Avon 

If you love picturesque suburban living with parks, gardens, and walking trails, but you also want to be close to all of the museums, professional sports teams, and nightlife a big city can offer, Avon, Indiana is your place. This town of 19,962 people is located in Hendricks County, just west of Indianapolis. It is the fastest-growing town in the county, which is not surprising, considering its suburban charm balanced with its convenient distance (10 minutes) from the Indianapolis International Airport.

Avon is a great town for families; its schools have an A rating from Niche. In fact, Niche ranks Avon’s public schools the 8th best in Indiana. Houses are affordable; the median price for a family home is $214,900. Compare that to the Indianapolis median of $255,000 and the United States median home price of $359,900 (as of July 2021). Incidentally, Avon boasts its own symphony, symphonic choir, and string quartet, not to mention an award-winning high school marching band.  

Citizens of Avon are particularly proud of their designation as a Tree City USA Community; this honor was bestowed 14 years ago by the Arbor Day Foundation and denotes the fact that Avon is a town with sound urban forestry management. Residents can enjoy nature at the Washington Township Park, Avon Town Hall Park, Pecar Park Nature Center, or the beautiful Avon Gardens.

Our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means if you do not win your case, you will pay no attorney fees. Most law firms charge 33% or 40%. Our fee is only 25%* — THAT’S MORE MONEY FOR YOU!

Wrongful Death

If your loved one died too soon because of the wrongful acts of another person, you have the right to seek justice for your loved one and your family by filing a lawsuit with an Avon wrongful death attorney.

Wrongful death claims are different from other types of personal injury claims. The victim cannot speak for himself or herself. However, you can speak for your loved one, and we can help.

Slip and Fall

A fall can result in traumatic injuries that prevent victims from returning to work or performing daily activities, resulting in major changes, inconvenience, and often a pain for the victims of said accidents. When a fall occurs on another person’s property, the property owner may be held liable for the damages caused by the fall. Our Avon slip and fall attorneys represent accident victims who have been injured by a slip and fall.

Bicycle Accidents

Official reports show Indiana as ranking 13th in the United States for bicycle accidents per capita. Data shows that bicycle fatalities rose in 2018 by a shocking 120% from the previous year; nationwide, fatalities from bicycle accidents numbered 857 that year. If you suffer a bicycle accident caused by negligent, careless, or reckless acts of another person or party, our Avon personal injury lawyers may be able to help you.

DUI/DWI Accidents 

When an impaired driver causes a DUI/DWI accident, the accident victims can face lifelong consequences or even death because of a driver’s reckless and negligent decision to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking or taking drugs. If you have been injured in a DUI accident, you need an attorney to protect your rights. Our experienced Avon DUI attorneys thoroughly investigate the accident to gather evidence that proves the drunk driver caused the crash.

Liquor (Dram Shop) Liability

You may be able to sue a bar owner, convenience store owner, company party host, or someone else for providing alcohol to a person who was too drunk to drive. If a drunk driver or otherwise intoxicated person has injured you, call 1-800-265-9881 now to speak with an Avon dram shop liability attorney.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Expect?

You have the right to pursue compensation for many types of injury or accident in Avon, depending on the circumstances and type of case.

Consult with one of our attorneys to see if you could receive compensation for:

  • Expenses and costs related to medical care
  • Loss of income, including future lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Emotional suffering, PTSD, and mental anguish
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Scarring, permanent disability, and disfigurement

Will My Case Go to Court?

Each case is different, so you should consult with a PBAR attorney to discuss your circumstances in a free case review.

Personal Injury

If a defendant refuses to negotiate a fair and just settlement, our PBAR team is prepared and ready to take the matter before a jury to protect your legal rights and your best interests. If you have sustained a personal injury, you have the right to seek compensation. The PBAR team of qualified attorneys is the team you need to fight for your and your loved ones’ best interests.

DUI

It can be difficult to place a dollar figure on your pain and suffering after a DUI crash. The insurance company for the drunk driver may accept liability for the accident; however, the company may try to settle your injury claim for an amount that is much lower than the actual value of your claim. If a fair settlement is not possible, we have the experience to litigate your case in court. The PBAR legal team can meticulously document the damages for your DUI injury claim. We gather evidence to support our calculation of the value of your claim. Our goal is to maximize the amount of money you receive for your claim.

Dog Bites

The law may be on your side; however, insurance companies do not care. They want to pay as little as possible to settle your claim or deny your claim outright. We want to stop insurance companies from causing you further emotional stress and injury. If a fair settlement is not forthcoming after negotiations, our experienced Avon dog bite attorneys are fully prepared to take your case before a jury.
