Greenfield, Indiana (September 8, 2014) – Renowned law firm Pritzke and Davis Lawyers is offering free legal consultations for clients who are looking for the services of a personal injury lawyer in Greenfield, IN. The service is designed so that the people who have been involved in accidents can discuss their matter at no expense.

In an effort to help victims of domestic violence in the state, Verizon’s HopeLine program encourages everyone to donate old or unused cellphones. The support program has recently gained the support of influential people, including Indiana First Lady Karen Pence. Indiana Public Media reports:

Divorce is often a difficult time for the parties involved, especially if the decision is made after what should have been a happy event, like the holidays. Couples in Hancock County or Greenfield who have made the decision to part ways need not go through the legal ramifications of the process as they go through emotional upheavals in their lives. A Greenfield or Hancock County family lawyer can help alleviate the burden on separating couples by handling the nitty-gritty details that come with a divorce filing.

No amount of money can entirely compensate for the sufferings of a personal injury victim. Victims may be left handicapped their entire lives, or other side effects may lead to post-rehab, thus depriving them of a regular life. The need for recovery finances and the frustration that comes with the difficulty of getting an insurance claim often force the victim to accept whatever low-ball offer is on the negotiating table. With only about 4-5% of personal injury cases taken to trial, it is evident that millions of American victims settle cases prior to allowing juries to decide.

The skyrocketing figures of domestic violence are, regrettably, nothing new. Reports of women turned black and blue from beatings have become mainstream television content. The debilitating effects on victims are also now widely known. The first step in protecting one’s self against abuse is by being familiar with its scope. When people think of domestic violence, physical battery is the first thing that comes to mind. The truth, however, is that it comes in many other faces: Economic: Actions that intend to make the victim financially helpless such as forbidding employment, withholding access, or maintaining total control over financial resources Emotional: Damaging the victim’s self-esteem through acts like belittling abilities, humiliation, insults, and manipulation of feelings. Sexual: This aspect involves non-consensual sex such as marital rape, forced prostitution, acquaintance rape, and unwanted acts (e.g. compelling an unwilling partner to engage in sodomy).
