• Truck accidents — Accidents involving tractor-trailers and commercial carriers are all too common and responsible for scores of fatalities on the road each year.

Our estate planning department

Preparing for your own passing or that of a loved one is difficult but necessary. At Ward & Ward Law Firm, we understand the sensitive nature of estate planning and are happy to answer your questions about wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives and the probate process to ensure that your wishes are followed and your loved ones protected.

Working for Access to the Courts

In Indiana today, anyone with a legitimate personal injury accident or wrongful death claim for damages because of  the negligence of an auto, motorcycle, truck or semi tractor-trailer driver has the opportunity to access the court system for relief.

Many Hoosier citizens aren’t aware that they nearly lost that ability early in 2013 when a proposal before the legislature would have forced the losing party in a lawsuit to pay all attorney fees and court costs involved in the proceedings. Fortunately, Indiana, citizens still have the right to a legal remedy for personal injury claims — and our attorneys, Don and Charlie Ward, who’ve spent their careers helping those most in need, can continue to help them. If you’ve been injured in an accident and need assistance paying medical bills and meeting other costs, the Ward & Ward Law Firm can help.
