“No fee unless we win — protecting families across Valparaiso and Porter County.”
Catastrophic injury cases are legally and financially complex. Without a skilled lawyer, it’s easy to miss key evidence, undervalue your losses, or get pressured into a low settlement. A dedicated injury attorney protects your rights, builds a strong case, and fights for full compensation under Indiana law.
Here’s why hiring an experienced catastrophic injury lawyer is critical:
1. Proving long-term damages requires expert support
You’ll need medical experts, life care planners, and economic analysts to document the true cost of your injury, not just today, but for life.
2. Insurance companies will not negotiate fairly without pressure
They use delay tactics and low offers. A lawyer forces accountability and protects you from being taken advantage of.
3. Indiana Law Limits Your Time to Act
The statute of limitations for injury claims is just 2 years. A lawyer ensures deadlines are met and evidence is preserved early.
4. Complex liability issues need investigation
In catastrophic cases, multiple parties could be at fault, including drivers, employers, property owners, and manufacturers. Your attorney identifies all liable parties to maximize your claim.
When you work with Langer & Langer, you get more than legal help; you get a results-driven team focused on protecting your long-term well-being. We take on the legal burden so you can focus on recovery, knowing your case is in experienced hands.
We represent clients facing the most serious and life-altering injuries – the kind that affect daily life, long-term health, and future independence. These injuries often result from car crashes, workplace accidents, or other major incidents.
Here are the types of cases we handle:
Spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries: We pursue compensation for paralysis, cognitive loss, and lifelong medical care.
Amputations and permanent loss of function: We fight for financial recovery that reflects the impact of lost mobility or independence.
Severe burns and visible disfigurement: We hold negligent parties accountable when injuries affect appearance and quality of life.
Long-term or permanent disability due to accidents: We seek full support for long-term care, income loss, and daily living needs.
Catastrophic injuries affect everyone differently – physically, emotionally, and financially. At Langer & Langer, we build legal strategies around each client’s specific needs, whether they’re facing long-term care, income loss, or a wrongful death claim.
If you or your family is navigating the aftermath of a life-altering injury, our Valparaiso attorneys are here to protect your rights and help you move forward.
At Langer & Langer, we pursue full compensation for catastrophic injury victims and their families, ensuring every category of loss allowed under Indiana law is properly documented and demanded. Damages generally fall into three groups: economic, non-economic, and, in certain cases, punitive damages.
Economic damages cover the direct financial losses caused by a catastrophic injury, both now and in the future.
Our attorneys partner with financial experts to make sure no economic loss is missed, from immediate costs to lifetime care needs.
Non-economic and punitive damages reflect the personal, emotional, and punitive consequences of a serious injury.
Punitive damages (in rare, extreme negligence cases): Aims to punish reckless behavior and deter future harm.
When a catastrophic injury leads to death, we help families pursue compensation under Indiana’s Wrongful Death Act, which may include:
Waiting too long after a catastrophic injury can jeopardize your entire case. Indiana law sets strict time limits, and early action gives your attorney the best chance to build a strong claim.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
