Our Approach:

At the heart of our personal injury practice is a commitment to advocating for our clients with compassion, expertise, and a relentless pursuit of justice. We recognize that each case is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and circumstances of our clients. We do not believe in using pressure tactics to get clients to sign on for our services. We often recommend potential clients take some time to think about it before choosing us to represent their personal injury claim. We know we have the experience and knowledge needed to get the compensation our clients deserve. We want them to know that, when choosing Sarkisian Law Offices, they are choosing personal injury lawyers who truly care about them and their circumstances.

Our Focus:

Our experienced personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases involving injuries, including but not limited to:

  • Car Accidents: If you have been involved in a car crash that resulted in injuries, our team has the expertise to navigate the complexities of car accident claims and ensure you receive fair compensation.


  • Accidents involving Semi-Trucks: Any time a commercial vehicle is involved in an accident you can be assured they have a team of lawyers on their side whose primary job is to pay out as little as possible for an injury claim. At Sarkisian Law Offices we are experienced with semi-truck accident claims and will make sure you get the compensation you deserve.


  • Motorcycle Accidents: We know from having handled motorcycle injury cases in the past, it is usually the motorcycle rider who ends up with serious, life-altering injuries when it’s the other driver who was unable or unwilling to safely operate their vehicle. We are here to help you prove the other party's negligence and make sure you receive compensation for your injuries.


  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you have suffered an injury due to a slip and fall on someone else's property, we can help you hold them accountable.

Common Questions in Personal Injury Cases

See some common questions and answers below. Feel free to call us at 219-477-3998 if you have other questions about an injury claim. 

  • Do I really need a personal injury attorney?

    A personal injury attorney is not required in every case. However, as the injuries become more serious, or in cases involving death, it is prudent to consult with a personal injury attorney so that you know what your rights are. 


    We recommend that you do not sign any release or allow the insurance company representative to take your statement immediately after the accident. 


    Remember that insurance companies have a primary purpose, which is to earn a profit. The insurance company is going to do what is best for their company, not what is best for you. Since Sarkisian Law Offices has a policy of providing free initial consultations, you may wish to consult with an auto accident lawyer at our office to determine whether you need an attorney in your case.

  • How do I select an attorney in a personal injury case?

    The selection of an attorney to help you with your personal injury law claim is an important decision. It can be challenging because there are many personal injury attorneys practicing in Merrillville and Valparaiso. Sarkisian is a name you can trust in personal injury cases throughout NW Indiana. We have a long standing reputation in the region and have fought for the compensation families in NW Indiana deserve for over 30 years. 


    We recommend that you don't just rely on TV commercials, or billboard advertising. Word of mouth from previous clients, family, and friends can often be an option for you. When deciding which firm you would like to represent you, you should also focus on whether you are comfortable with the personal injury law firm and the attorneys who will be representing you. As you will see from our website, we are experienced injury attorneys. If you are uncertain as to whether a lawyer you have seen is the right one for you, please call us for a second opinion. There is never a fee for an initial consultation.

  • How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

    Generally speaking, there are grounds for a personally injury claim when a person has been injured and the injury was the direct or indirect result of another party's negligence or wrongful actions. The other party can be a person, group of people, a business. 


    If it can be proved that another party was neglient and you suffered damages as a result of that negligence, you are able to seek compensation.


    Schedule a no obligation, no cost consultation with us to discuss the details of your case. We will be upfront and honest about the law and whether or not you have a case.

    At Sarkisian Law Offices we have been fighting for compensation for the injured for decades. That includes taking cases to court and fighting for the maximum compensation available.

  • What types of damages can I recover and how much is my case worth?

    If you or a family member was injured due to the negligence of another, you may be entitled to a wide range of damages. These damages include lost wages or future economic losses, any pain and suffering you have experienced, scarring or disfigurement related to your injuries, and any related damages to your personal property. 


    You may also be entitled to past, present, and future medical expenses. Determining the monetary value of your personal injury claim is a complex matter which will require a thorough evaluation that can be performed only after your personal injury attorney discovers and reviews all the facts. 


    We can review your claim and analyze the important information about your case so that your claim may be resolved for its full value.
