Why Baker & Gilchrist injury lawyers?

At Baker and Gilchrist, we have consciously decided to keep our injury law firm small so that we can provide true personal service to our clients during what is usually one of the most difficult and frightening events in their lives. We have the experience and training to provide you with the best advice possible with a combined litigation experience of over 46 years. We keep current on new developments in injury law and we have experience with the most up to date trial techniques, including focus groups, jury consultants, and video settlement demands. We have a registered nurse on staff who assists us in reviewing medical negligence claims and we have relationships with physician experts in a variety of medical specialties throughout Indiana and across the country who are available to review your personal injury claim. We advance all expenses and therefore do not ask you to contribute any out of pocket money before you even know if you have a valid injury claim.

Concerns about Hiring an Injury Attorney
The most common concern we hear from prospective personal injury clients is, “I don’t want to be like one of those people who sue.” There is such a stigma in our culture against injury “lawsuits” from the media, including TV shows, movies and magazines, that there is a “conventional wisdom” that there are too many frivolous injury lawsuits and that everyone who seeks accountability for the negligence of others is just out to “hit the lottery” and “jackpot justice.” We have all heard them, but they are not all true. Yes, there are some examples of unusual personal injury cases like the McDonald’s coffee case, but they are the rare exception. The vast majority of people who talk to injury lawyers are just like you - people who find themselves in the middle of life changing circumstances because of no fault of their own and need help. Your bills may be piling up, you may have lost the main source of income for your family and you are not sure how you are going to make it. You may have a child that was injured at birth and now you wonder how you are going to pay for all the needs your child will have the rest of their life. If we cannot help you, we will tell you why or refer you to an injury attorney who can. Please call and get the help you and your family need now. Let Baker & Gilchrist lead you through the law.
