Here at Poynter & Bucheri Attorneys at Law, we support our clients with many different types of court cases, including vehicular accidents, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, slip and fall, bicycle accidents, DUI accidents, liquor store liability, and more. If you require assistance with any of our areas of expertise, contact us here for a consultation. 

Car Accidents 

Poynter & Bucheri Attorneys at Law can help you get the money you deserve from a traffic accident. Car accidents come with many different expenses, including damage to vehicles and personal injuries, so contact an experienced Fishers, IN lawyer if you’re involved in a wreck.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can be highly deadly for truck drivers and others on the road. Trucks can weigh between 10,000 and 33,000 pounds, and this means that trucks can cause a great deal more damage than the average car. Fortunately, we offer expert legal support for those involved in truck accidents. 

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are five times more likely to be injured in an accident than someone in a standard passenger vehicle, and they’re 28 times more likely to be killed. Motorcycle accidents are incredibly dangerous because motorcyclists have parts of their bodies exposed while riding, and accidents often occur at high speeds. Whether you’re a motorcyclist who was involved in a crash or you hit a motorcyclist, you need to call an experienced Fishers, Indiana lawyer.

Pedestrian Accidents

Vehicular accidents involving pedestrians can be deadly. Pedestrians often suffer serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, internal injuries, lacerations, and contusions. Pedestrians who survive vehicular accidents also frequently suffer from mental conditions, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and extreme fear of vehicle-related activities. If you were hit by a car or if you experienced an accident that involved a pedestrian, contact us to get the legal support you need.

Wrongful Death

Pedestrian accidents can often result in wrongful death cases, but many other situations can lead to wrongful death. Indiana Law defines wrongful death as “the death of a human being as the result of a wrongful act of another person.” Common causes of wrongful death include vehicular accidents, boating accidents, medical malpractice, abuse and neglect, supervised activities, defective products, aviation accidents, and sporting accidents. Wrongful death is a tragic reality, and you need to get the justice your lost loved one deserves. 

Slip and Fall

Although slip and falls are often considered minor accidents by insurance companies, serious injuries can occur. Common locations for slip and fall accidents include parking lots, sidewalks, stairs, grocery stores, malls, restaurants, gas stations, retail stores, pool areas, stadiums, residential properties, government buildings, and construction sites. If you or a loved one experienced a slip and fall, you need proper legal representation to handle your case and hold whoever’s at fault accountable.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents can often lead to serious injuries or even death. Common injuries for cyclists include head injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, spinal injuries, knee injuries, fractures in various parts of the body, contusions, internal injuries and bleeding, muscle strains, and abrasions or burns. If you’re a bicyclist who experienced an accident, you could be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, damaged property, and pain and suffering.

DUI Accidents

Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol can lead to serious ramifications, including wrongful death. Although an arrest for a DUI indicates proof that the driver was impaired, you need to provide evidence that they were at fault for the collision. Experienced DUI accident lawyers, such as the attorneys at Poynter & Bucheri, will investigate the wreck and gather information so that you can receive the compensation you deserve. 

Liquor (Dram Shop) Liability

In addition to holding impaired drivers accountable for your wreck, we can also help you get the compensation you deserve from those who wrongfully sold alcohol to the drunk driver. A dram shop is any business that sells alcohol, and it’s their responsibility to not over serve patrons. If a business sells alcohol to someone who’s already intoxicated, they can be held liable for damages, injuries, and deaths.  

What Kind of Compensation Can I Expect?

In Indiana, you have the right to seek compensation for damages. Whether or not you’ll receive compensation and the amount entirely depends on the case and circumstances. You may receive compensation for the following:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death
• Punitive damages

Will My Case Go to Court?

Personal injury cases can often be resolved outside of court. Your injury attorneys can help you negotiate a settlement, which will create an agreement between parties that may involve you receiving compensation for damages. Countless individuals struggle with receiving the money they deserve from a personal injury, so you need experienced attorneys at your side to ensure you receive the maximum amount possible. 

Before hiring a lawyer, make sure to research their experience in your type of case. At Poynter & Bucheri, we have years of experience in and out of the courtroom getting our clients the compensation they deserve for personal injuries.
