Car Accident Attorney in Indiana

Pursuing Fair Compensation After a Car Crash in Indiana

Indiana law allows car accident victims to recover economic and non-economic damages from the at-fault party. Because no two accidents are alike, settlement amounts can vary significantly. Our co-counsels will work to identify the full extent of your losses and pursue a fair settlement or verdict on your behalf.

Economic Damages

Based on your case details, you may qualify for actual monetary losses, called economic damages. These may include medical bills, assistive equipment, lost income, property damage, and home or vehicle modifications. Our law firm partners compile medical records, financial statements, repair estimates, and other documentation to prove your losses and seek the compensation you need.

Non-Economic Damages

You may also qualify for non-economic losses, which are the non-monetary ways the accident negatively affected you. Pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment are a few such damages our partner law firms could help you recover.

Wrongful Death Damages

If you lost a loved one to a car collision, we extend our sincere sympathies for your loss. We know that money does not make up for the loss of someone you love. However, a wrongful death settlement helps cover the unexpected costs that arise after someone passes, including funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Understanding Liability in an Indiana Auto Collision

Our partner law firms know how to get fair compensation for all your losses. They investigate the accident and secure evidence to show how the other driver’s negligence caused your crash. Examples of negligence in a car accident include:

• Speeding, tailgating, or passing illegally
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Texting or talking on the phone while driving
• Failing to obey traffic signals and signs
• Switching lanes or turning without signaling

Liability in auto accidents is rarely cut and dry. Even when a driver is clearly at fault, their insurance company will often defend them to prioritize its profits.

Fighting Insurers for a Fair Car Accident Settlement Value

You must notify your insurance immediately after an accident, but you can protect your rights by sticking to the facts and telling the representative that you plan to seek legal counsel. Then, contact the Goldwater Law Firm to connect with an Indiana car accident lawyer.

Keep in mind that insurers aim to pay as little as possible. An insurance company will often offer a low initial settlement, hoping you will accept whatever you can get. Sometimes, it may even try to shift the blame to you. Our co-counsels are familiar with these tactics. They will fight insurers on your behalf and can take your case to trial if it means getting a better outcome for your case.
