What Type Of Vehicle Accident Caused Your Injuries?

When you work with us, you benefit from our experience in a broad range of accidents, including:

Common vehicle accidents

From cars and other passenger vehicles to large trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as motorcycles, you can come to us with your vehicle accident claim. We have helped hundreds of people recover damages from these accidents. While they may be common, that doesn’t make them any less serious than other types of accidents. Any of these accidents can have lifelong effects on your health and well-being. You want to know that your lawyers understand the consequences you are facing and that they will aggressively seek the compensation you need. To get started, just call us at 812-558-0198 or contact us online for your free initial consultation.

Specialized accident types

We also take vehicle accident cases involving special vehicles and unique circumstances. These include bicycle and pedestrian accidents, recreational vehicle accidents, and accidents on highways/interstates. If you were hit by a car while riding a bike or walking, your injuries will be severe. Recreational vehicles can tip over, malfunction or be hit by another vehicle.

Accidents on highways or interstates can be especially dangerous because they often happen at high speeds and/or involve multiple vehicles. You will likely need significant compensation for your injuries and financial losses after one of these accidents. There is also the potential for all of these accidents to be fatal. We are prepared to litigate a wrongful death claim in those cases. Contact us today to set up a free consultation.

Complex situations

Some vehicle accidents occur under special circumstances. When this happens, you absolutely must have a respected, experienced attorney on your side. Some of the most frequent complex situations include:

In these situations, you will need a law firm that provides the resources and experienced guidance to hold the negligent driver accountable for their actions. We will investigate the accident and driver, gathering evidence to build a strong case for compensation. If an uninsured or underinsured driver causes an accident, we will see if we can recover damages directly from them. We will also help you get compensation from your own auto insurance policy, depending on the type of coverage you have. Let’s speak today if you have been injured in one of these complex accidents.

Motor Vehicle Accidents FAQs

Below are answers to common questions Indiana drivers ask regarding motor vehicle accidents in Indiana. 

How long do I have to file a vehicle accident claim in Indiana?

In Indiana, most motor vehicle accident claims must be filed within two years of the crash. This is called the statute of limitations. 

  • Claims involving a government vehicle or employee often have shorter deadlines, sometimes as little as 180 days.
  • If a minor was injured, the time limit usually starts when they turn 18.

Missing these timelines can mean losing your right to seek compensation, so call us at 812-558-0198 today for legal help. 

What should I do right after a car crash?

Your health and safety come first. 

  • The first step is always to seek immediate medical attention: Even if you feel fine, have a doctor check your body for unseen issues. 
  • You must also report the accident to law enforcement: In Bloomington, Indianapolis and across Indiana, a police report creates an official record of the event, which is vital evidence later on. 
  • Document the scene: Take photos of the vehicles and the surrounding area. Collect contact and insurance information from everyone involved. 

Since the moments after an accident can affect how your claim unfolds later, preserving these initial details is essential for any path forward. 

Worry less because engaging us means you can get the clear direction and immediate legal support you need. So call 812-558-0198 or fill out our online form, and our legal team will be in touch soon for extensive help. 

What if the other driver does not have insurance?

In Indiana, your own auto policy’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is designed to protect you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough insurance. As such: 

  • This coverage allows you to pursue compensation for medical bills and lost wages through your own insurer, up to your policy’s limits, essentially taking the place of the negligent driver’s absent insurance. 
  • Do not settle or sign documents without fully understanding how the settlement will affect your ability to access your own UM/UIM policy, as Indiana law requires specific notice to your insurer.

Navigating these policy layers is often necessary when facing drivers with minimal coverage. Call us to help ensure your rights and recovery options stay fully protected.
