We have handled and recovered impressive levels of compensation in a wide range of personal injury claims.

- Car Accident: Unfortunately, it is all too common for drivers to be careless, reckless, distracted, or intoxicated while behind the wheel. Our personal injury attorneys handle car crash claims on a daily basis. When another driver is at fault for your injuries, our Noblesville car accident lawyers are here to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation.
- Truck Accident: What many drivers don’t realize is that a trucking accident needs to be handled differently than a typical car crash. When you are injured in an accident with a semi, delivery truck, moving truck, construction vehicle, or garbage truck, you need to immediately contact an injury attorney with a background in commercial vehicle accidents. An experienced lawyer will gather and preserve evidence, analyze if federal truck regulation violations occurred, and help determine who was at fault.
- Other Motor Vehicle Accident: Car and truck accidents are extremely common, but they are not the only vehicle accidents. At GDS Law Group, we represent individuals injured in any type of vehicle accident, including those involving motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, trains, ATVs, and boats.These are unique situations that require a high level of attention from skilled legal professionals.
- Dangerous Property Accident (Premises Liability): Whether you are at a friend’s home, shopping at the local grocery store, or headed to a dentist appointment, the property should be safe. You should not encounter dangers in a walkway, aisle, sitting room, or office. Unfortunately, many property owners fail to maintain their property as well as they should. This neglect can create hazards, which can cause you harm. If you were injured on another person or business’s property, contact us to discuss pursuing a bodily injury claim.
- Slip and Fall Accident: One of the most common premises liability claims is a slip and fall. This common term encompasses several scenarios that result in dangerous falls. You may slip on spilled food or beverages, lose your footing on irregular or damaged stairs, or trip over debris on the ground. Whatever the cause of your fall, we recommend you call a Noblesville personal injury lawyer right away.
- Medical Malpractice Incident: When you see a doctor, whether it is routine medical care or after an emergency, that physician must uphold a high professional standard in caring for you. If you believe your doctor failed to do that and it led you to suffer an additional injury or for your condition to worsen, call GDS Law Group right away.
- Workplace Accident (Workers’ Compensation/Third-Party Liability): Our personal injury lawyers handle many claims arising from work-related accidents. If you were injured while on the job, contact our workers’ compensation attorneys to see if you’re eligible for medical and wage benefits under Indiana workers’ compensation insurance. We also will investigate the claim to determine if someone from outside of your work caused the incident. If another person or business is responsible, we can seek compensation through a third-party liability claim.
- Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one is hard. If you lost a loved one, our wrongful death attorneys will see if someone else may have been responsible for, or negligent in, your loved one’s tragedy. From there, we will work to hold them accountable and seek a suitable recovery for the various losses you endured.
- Dog Bite & Animal Attack: If you or a loved one have been attacked by a dog or other animal and suffered injuries, contact us to learn more about filing a personal injury claim. Pet owners are responsible for their pet’s behavior and the damage they cause. We are here to hold those pet owners responsible for bites and attack-related injuries.
- Defective Product Accident: You should never have to fear for your health and safety when you eat at a restaurant, buy over-the-counter medications, or purchase a new appliance. Yet every day defective products make it to stores or delivered to our house. If you are injured because a product was not as safe as it should be, call our product liability attorneys to discuss your rights.
- Civil Injuries for Crime Victims: If you were the victim of a crime and suffered an injury as a result, then your situation may have criminal and civil repercussions. While the police and prosecutors pursue criminal charges, you may have the right to file a civil claim for personal injury compensation. We are here to represent you in a case against a defendant who caused you physical harm during a crime.
