Social Profile:

The purpose of injury law is to prevent accidents and injuries. When this purpose is not followed in society, it is necessary that we move to a secondary purpose which is to compensate the injured person for their losses. Another truth about injury law is that, “this is the one and only time you have to seek just compensation for your loss!” Insurance companies will go to great lengths to avoid paying compensation in these cases which means that obtaining a fair settlement on your own can be an extremely difficult undertaking without an experienced and qualified lawyer on your side.

Personal Injury Attorney
Assault & battery injury litigation Business owners need to take reasonable precautions to protect invitees from foreseeable criminal attacks. To determine whether this duty extends to a particular case, the critical inquiry is to answer whether the criminal attack was foreseeable.
Auto accident litigation When proceeding with a car accident lawsuit, it is important to note that there are jury instructions as to what a driver’s obligations are while driving on the roads in the State of Indiana. Every motor vehicle driver must use the care and ordinary care that a reasonable person would use.
Bicycle accident litigation Drivers, including bicycles, owe a duty to lawfully use streets and highways and are required to exercise due care in the use of their vehicles not to injure others. However, drivers are not required to anticipate extraordinary hazards, nor to constantly expect and search for unusual dangers.
Catastrophic injury litigation Indiana law defines “Catastrophic injury” means bodily injury so severe that a person’s ability to live independently is significantly impaired for a period of at least one (1) year. The term includes an injury causing blindness, deafness, paralysis, or an intellectual disability.
DUI injury litigation Our Supreme Court holds that the intoxicated driver is guilty of willful and wanton misconduct when he deliberately assumes control of an automobile and places it upon a public highway. Further, the Indiana courts have held that gross negligence is a proper basis for an award of punitive damages.
Dog bite injury litigation Unprovoked biting by a dog does not necessarily mean the dog is vicious. Under Indiana law, all dogs, regardless of breed or size, are presumed to be harmless domestic animals. This presumption is overcome by evidence of a known or dangerous propensity as shown by specific acts of that animal.
Medical malpractice litigation In order to prevail in a medical malpractice case, the plaintiff must prove 3 elements: (1) a duty on the part of the defendant in relation to the plaintiff; (2) a failure to conform his conduct to the requisite standard of care required by the relationship; and (3) an injury to the plaintiff.
Motorcycle accident litigation In the State of Indiana, it was determined that bumper stickers needed to be distributed for free stating, “Motorcycle Are Everywhere” in hopes of getting the attention of other drivers in hopes that those drivers would watch out for motorcycles on the roadway.
Motorist insurance claims litigation Disputes between insurers and insureds on a regular basis. Insurance companies seem to have taken a much more aggressive approach with their insureds as it relates to claims and making payments to their insureds. In the State of Indiana, the insurance company owe a duty of care and fair dealings.
Pain & suffering litigation Jury consider the following for damages awards: (a) nature and extent of injuries; (b) whether they are temporary or permanent; (c) physical pain/mental suffering experienced in the past and to be experienced in the future; (d) disfigurement/deformity from injuries; and (e) loss of enjoyment of life
Pedestrian accident litigation Indiana court have stated that all drivers are under a common law duty to maintain a proper lookout while traveling on the roadways. Correspondingly, a pedestrian has no right to proceed heedlessly across a street without exercising ordinary care for his own safety.
Product liability litigation To constitute a product liability action, the plaintiff’s claim must allege a “defect which existed at or before the time the product was delivered by the seller to the initial user or consumer.”
Slip & fall injury litigation Traditionally, a landowner has owed a duty to exercise due care to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition for persons who enter upon their property. Landowners have a duty to protect persons from unknown or hidden dangers on the property.
Truck accident litigation When dealing with accidents involving semi-tractor trailers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has set forth rules and regulations which were put in place to insure that commercial truck and bus drivers comply with certain safety regulations.
Wrongful death litigation Wrongful death means the untimely death of a person as a result of negligence, or other wrongful conduct of another. Wrongful death cases may arise from the following instances: plane crashes, car accidents, medical malpractice, products liability, premises liability and negligence.
Car accidents When proceeding with a car accident lawsuit, it is important to note that there are jury instructions as to what a driver’s obligations are while driving on the roads in the State of Indiana. The Court will instruct the jury that, “every motor vehicle driver must use the care and ordinary care that a person would use under the same or similar circumstances. Drivers who do not use reasonable care are negligent.” The Court will also instruct the jury as to a driver’s obligation to maintain a proper lookout while driving a vehicle which is, “every driver must maintain a proper lookout to see or hear what should be seen or heard through the exercise of reasonable care. A person is negligent if they do not maintain a proper lookout.” Further, the State of Indiana has numerous laws relating to the safe operation of a vehicle which can be used to show that a driver was negligent in the way they operated their vehicle on the date of the collision.
Civil rights Attorney Gladish has actively pursued excessive force/police brutality claims for over 20 years. Attorney Gladish looks to protect the constitutional rights of his clients, including going to trial and winning jury verdicts in favor of his clients in these difficult cases where the evidence is stacked against the plaintiff. Client need to be aware that Congress has passed federal statutes that protect a person’s constitutional rights from violation by the government, including police brutality and false arrest.Note, the Fourth Amendment provides, in relevant part, for the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable … seizures….” The Supreme Court has explained that “a ‘seizure’ of property occurs when there is some meaningful interference with an individual’s interests in that property” caused by a government actor.
Dog bites All dogs, regardless of breed or size, are presumed to be harmless animals. This presumption is overcome by evidence of a known or dangerous propensity as shown by specific acts of a particular animal. Dangerous propensity is a tendency of that animal to do any act that might cause danger to others.
Insurance disputes Attorney Gladish deals with disputes between insurers and insureds on a regular basis. Insurance companies seem to have taken a much more aggressive approach with their insureds as it relates to claims and making payments to their insureds. In the State of Indiana, the insurance company has a duty of good faith and fair dealings that it owes to its insureds. Erie, Ins. Comp. v. Hickman, 622 N.E.2d 515 (Ind.1993). In the Erie case, the Indiana Supreme Court noted that an insurance company was to refrain from making an unfounded refusal to pay policy proceeds; caused an unfounded delay in making payments; deceiving the insured; and/or exercising any unfair advantage to pressure an insured into a settlement claim. The Indiana Supreme Court went on to state that this was not an exclusive list but simply an example of conduct an insurance company is to refrain from in dealing with its insureds.
Medical malpractice Attorney Gladish represents clients that have been wronged by medical professionals. Medical professionals owe a duty to ensure that their conduct meets standards set within their professional communities. A breach of this duty which results in the person receiving injury will entitle that person to proceed with a cause of action to recover for these injuries. Thus, in order to prevail in a medical malpractice action, the plaintiff must prove three elements: (1) a duty on the part of the defendant in relation to the plaintiff; (2) a failure to conform his conduct to the requisite standard of care required by the relationship; and (3) an injury to the plaintiff resulting from that failure. Examples of medical malpractice cases currently being handled by Attorney Gladish range from failure to diagnose cancer as well as other medical conditions; birth injuries; negligent dose titration of medication; leaving sponges behind after surgery inside of the patient; and so on.
Motorcycle accidents In the State of Indiana, it was determined that bumper stickers needed to be distributed for free stating, “Motorcycle Are Everywhere” in hopes of getting the attention of other drivers in hopes that those drivers would watch out for motorcycles on the roadway. Nonetheless, motorcycle accidents usually result in serious injury or death when they happen. As pointed out by our federal government, in 2006, there were 35 times more deaths per mile traveled from motorcycle accidents than from car accidents. In the vast majority of these accidents, the car strikes the motorcycle and state afterwards that they never saw the motorcycle prior to the collision. There also seems to be a basis against motorcycle driver that needs to be overcome if you want to properly present the case to a jury if need be which often times requires an expert accident re-constructionist to demonstrate how and why the collision occurred with a focus on the actions of the negligent driver.
Nursing home abuse When family members are no longer able to care for their loved ones, they resort to a nursing home. The decision to place a family member or loved one in a nursing home is a difficult one. Members of our community make up the juries that hear these cases and research has shown that juries have a distain for nursing home abuse and neglect of their residents. Juries have shown a willingness to return sizable awards in negligence and wrongful death actions brought against nursing homes. Remember, jurors too have parents or grandparents who, by simple fate, may have to spend the last few years of life confined to a nursing home. Who would want their parents or grandparents to be abused or neglected in such a facility? The answer is simply, “no one”. In order to protect these vulnerable members of our society, the Law Office of David Gladish, P.C. aggressively pursues these cases which requires extensive review of medical records.
Personal Injury Law
Personal injury The phrase “personal injury” is used chiefly in connection with actions based in tort for negligence. In the State of Indiana, the tort of negligence is comprised of three (3) elements: (1) A duty on the part of the defendant in relation to the plaintiff; (2) A failure by the defendant to conform its conduct to the requisite standard of care; and (3) An injury to the plaintiff proximately caused by the failure.Miller v. Griesel, 308 N.E.2d 701, 706 (Ind. 1974). Negligence cases usually deal with someone doing something that they should not have done, or failing to do something that they should have done for the benefit of another. Automobile accident, trucking accidents, explosions, burns, electrocution, failure to provide supervision or security, over service alcohol and boating accidents are examples of situations in which a negligence cause of action may arise due to the actions of a third party. Attorney Gladish has been able to obtain large verdicts for his clients based upon

Punitive Damages
Slip and fall Traditionally, a landowner has owed a duty to exercise due care to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition for persons who enter upon their property. Landowners have a duty to protect persons from unknown or hidden dangers on the property. A premises liability case may include recovery for injuries caused by slip and falls, criminal assaults, personal injuries due to hidden dangers, failure to warn of danger, dangerous construction zones, falling debris, swimming pool accidents and others.To recover under a theory of premises liability sounding in negligence, the plaintiff must prove three elements: (1) a duty owed to the plaintiff, (2) a breach of that duty by the defendant, and (3) the breach proximately caused the plaintiff’s damages.
Truck accidents When dealing with accidents involving semi-tractor trailers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has set forth rules and regulations which were put in place to insure that commercial truck and bus drivers comply with certain safety regulations. A review of the practices of the operator of the tractor/trailer as it relates to these Federal regulations can be very important in demonstrating that the truck driver acted in a negligent fashion on the day in question. It is also important to note that there are certain instructions that will be provided to a jury as it relates to the obligations of a truck driver on the roads in the State of Indiana. The Court will instruct the jury that, “every motor vehicle driver must use ordinary care that a person would use under the same or similar circumstances. Drivers who do not use reasonable care are negligent.” The Court will also instruct as to the obligations to maintain a proper lookout while driving your vehicle.
Wrongful death Wrongful death means the untimely death of a person as a result of negligence, or other wrongful conduct of another. Wrongful death cases may arise from the following instances: plane crashes, car accidents, medical malpractice, products liability, premises liability and causes of action based in negligence. In the State of Indiana, wrongful death causes of action were created by statute. Under the English common law, no such cause of action existed after the injured party passed away. To remedy this problem, the Indiana Legislature passed the Wrongful Death Act. Pursuant to this act, an estate in the name of the party that died as a result of the wrongful act of another must be opened within two (2) years of the date of the wrongful act, or the cause of action will be barred by the running of the statute of limitations. The Wrongful Death Act also specifically list the types of damages that the estate may recover.

I’m not sure if this is a common practice, but the receptionist did not seem to want to help me when I called to ask a general question. I didn’t need legal advice, but she wouldn’t even entertain the question or allow me to even ask. All I needed to know was how long of a time frame does a judge have to rule on a small claims court case. Apparently, that’s too much to answer…
