While automobile, truck and motorcycle accidents make up a significant portion of personal injury and wrongful death claims, it would be inaccurate to assume that these matters are always simple to resolve. We understand not just the "rules of the road" of Indiana, and the special duties imposed on commercial and public carriers, but also the complex scientific and engineering principles often necessary to unravel just how a motor vehicle accident occurred. We put this knowledge to use negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of our clients and, where settlement is not possible, effectively presenting the case in court before a jury.

Making Insurance Companies Pay

When someone has been hurt in car accident, the insurance company of the party responsible for the injuries may or may not seek to contact the injured person. Some insurance companies choose to do nothing, hoping that statutory time limits will expire before the injured party seeks compensation through the legal process. Other insurance companies prefer to contact the injured person immediately, hoping to settle the claim quickly and inexpensively, when the injured person needs money and before they have had time to obtain legal representation.

In either case, the insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. They are hoping to resolve the matter as cheaply as possible.
