David Gladish | Highland Accident and Injury Lawyer

The purpose of injury law is to prevent accidents and injuries. When this purpose is not followed in our 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!” I make this statement to the jury in every case that goes to trial. If you have received an injury or lose due to the wrongful act of another, the hiring of an experienced and certified attorney to represent you or your family is an important decision. Do not waste your one and only opportunity to seek just compensation by retaining an attorney who will not provide the quality representation you need to make the recovery you are entitled to receive. An informed client needs to inquire about the attorney’s background and credentials. I hope that you take the time to review the information contained within this web site which provides my credentials; a discussion about my practice and the status of Indiana law in each practice area; the credentials of my staff; examples of trial exhibits/videos from earlier cases; as well as a blog about the current state of Indiana law. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your case. Remember: Get a Board Certified Attorney - Get Gladish & Get Your Case Done Right! David Gladish
