Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Northwest Indiana Lawyer: Personal Injury / Wrongful Death
Merrillville – Crown Point – Gary - Valparaiso - Lake County – Porter County
If you have been injured or lost a loved one because of the carelessness of someone else, the effects can be both emotionally and financially devastating. As an attorney and a registered nurse, I understand and want to help.
I'm Julie R. Glade, a personal injury and wrongful death lawyer in Northwest Indiana. I have been a licensed attorney since 1990 and a registered nurse in various specialties since 1982. My experiences have enhanced my ability to empathize with my clients and to understand the medical and emotional aspects of their cases.
I can represent people in all types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Premises liability cases, including slip and fall accidents and injuries caused by homeowner and property owner negligence.
- Fatal accidents
- Medical negligence
If you have been injured by another person's negligence, you can seek compensation for financial and emotional damages. Injured people can seek compensation for losses such as:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury
- Emotional distress
Family members of wrongful death victims may be entitled to seek compensation for:
- Loss of services performed by the deceased person
- Loss of financial support
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of affection and society
- Loss of parental guidance (for a child)
To prevail in a personal injury or wrongful death claim, you must establish proof of negligence (breach of a duty to use reasonable care), that the breach caused an injury, and the extent of your damages. My nursing background helps me to interpret and present health care evidence, especially in medical malpractice and nursing home negligence cases.
