I would like to sincerely thank Robert Langer and the entire staff at Langer & Langer for all they have done for our family. From the moment Robert learned about our daughter’s case, he personally called me that same night. As a mother, that means more to me than I can put into words. We still have a journey ahead of us, but I truly appreciate Robert Langer and his entire team for everything they have done and continue to do for our family. When you’re going through one of the hardest times of your life, having people who genuinely care makes such a difference…not only for you, but for your entire family. I thank Father God for placing Robert and his team along our path. And I know in my heart that my little girl would be proud to know that her mommy hasn’t stopped and will not stop seeking justice for her. 💚💚💚

I highly recommend Steve Langer, a two-time award-winning attorney of Langer and Langer Law. I consulted with him regarding a severe bedsores neglect case involving a beloved family member. He demonstrated compassionate care from the very first minute making me feel completely supported during a tough time. Even for a simple initial evaluation, he was exceptionally thorough and generously invested his valuable time free of charge to look into our situation. He is honest, highly efficient, and will not waste time or money. He is a wonderful person of the highest professional standards and unmatched integrity. LOOK NO FURTHER! P.S. I am truly honored to have met him and will definitely send referrals his way.

I reached out to Robert at Langer & Langer after being involved in an accident. From the beginning, he and his team have been incredibly responsive and always available to answer any questions—they either reply right away or follow up with a call very quickly. Any time documents or updates were sent, they made sure I had a chance to review everything and encouraged me to reach out with questions, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. They are extremely professional and honest, and at no point did I feel like just another case—I truly felt like they genuinely care about their clients. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing an attorney after an accident.

Why Hire an Indiana Car Accident Attorney with Langer & Langer?

There are a number of reasons car accident victims in Indiana choose the injury lawyers at Langer & Langer to handle their personal injury claims. When you hire our law office.

Your Car Accident Lawyer Will Deal with the Insurance Company

Insurance companies have earned a reputation for trying to take advantage of injured victims who are not represented by an accident lawyer. They frequently attempt to get victims to make recorded statements that can be used against them in court. They undervalue claims. Sometimes, they even try to place blame on innocent people. When you hire a car accident attorney with Langer & Langer, our law office will handle communications with the insurance company on your behalf. This includes presenting a demand for settlement to compensate you for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Once the insurance company responds with an initial offer, our team will begin negotiations.

You Will Be Informed About the Progress of Your Case

Our Indiana personal injury law office takes pride in providing the highest level of personalized service to our clients. Taking care of our clients is our first priority. As such, when you hire our law firm, you will have direct contact with the legal team that is handling your personal injury claim. We will keep you informed as your case progresses through the legal system, notifying you of any important changes along the way. We also encourage you to reach out to your car accident lawyer if you have any questions or concerns that arise while your claim is underway.

Our Team Will Gather the Evidence

Our car accident lawyers will gather evidence to help prove how the crash occurred, and we will work to identify all parties who may have contributed to the incident. We may request photos and videos, dashcam footage, and any available footage from nearby security cameras or traffic cams. We will interview witnesses, examine the accident scene, and inspect the vehicles that were involved in the crash. Our injury attorneys will also collect information from your doctors about your medical treatment and your prognosis. If the crash involves a rideshare vehicle, a skilled rideshare accident lawyer in Indiana can help determine whether the Uber/Lyft driver, the company, or another negligent party should be held responsible.

We Will Hire Necessary Experts

It is common for insurance companies to play hardball when evaluating car accident claims. In an attempt to minimize payout, the insurance company is likely to dispute your claim about how the accident happened or how severely you were injured. If the cause of the accident or the severity of your injuries are in question, our injury attorneys may hire top medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and/or investigators to help prove negligence. Expert testimony significantly increases your chances of recovering full compensation for your losses.

We Are Not Afraid to Go to Trial

If negotiations fail, and the insurance company refuses to provide you with an appropriate settlement offer, our accident lawyers are not afraid to litigate your case in court. Our law firm is composed of experienced trial lawyers, and we have gone up against countless large corporations and big-name insurance companies since we began representing injured victims in 1980. Even in cases involving uninsured or underinsured drivers’ claims, our attorneys are prepared to fight in court to secure maximum compensation.

The insurance company starts building its defense before you leave the scene.

Car Accident Injuries Are Often Catastrophic

Although some fender benders cause only temporary, minor injuries to accident victims, other crashes result in catastrophic injuries that change people’s lives forever. When car accidents cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, or disfigurement, the resulting financial burdens can be enormous. Victims and their families are often left facing:

Medical Bills

Expenses for ambulance transport, emergency room care, and other initial treatments can add up quickly when a car accident causes severe injuries. Unfortunately for many victims, those costs are just the tip of the iceberg. If multiple surgeries, physical rehabilitation, extended hospital stays, in-home nursing care, medical equipment, or home and vehicle modifications are required, the cost can be exorbitant.

Lost Income

Adults who are injured in car accidents often find themselves unable to return to work for extended periods of time. In some cases, they are able to work in a reduced capacity. In others, they may never be able to perform their work-related duties again. If the family depended on the victim’s pre-accident wages or salary, the loss of income can easily become financially crippling.

Pain and Suffering

When Indiana car accident injuries are severe, victims may be forced to endure extreme pain, emotional distress, and continuous medical treatments or surgeries for months or years after the crash. Accident victims may find themselves unable to participate in activities they once enjoyed, or care for themselves independently. In many cases, victims’ lives are changed forever.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Indiana

1 Safety comes first

If you are involved in a car accident, pull over immediately and check for injuries. If you are able, you should move your vehicle out of harm’s way and turn on your hazard lights to warn other motorists and reduce the risk of additional accidents and injuries.

2 Call for help

Call 9-1-1 and get police and emergency medical responders on the way. If your injuries are severe, ask someone at the accident scene to place the call for you. In Indiana, you are required to report your car accident if it involves injury, entrapment, or death to another person.

3 Exchange information

Gather the contact information of anyone involved in the car accident and bystanders who may have witnessed the crash. Witness statements can be used to help support your claim if the other driver fabricates his or her story later to avoid liability for injuries.

4 Gather evidence

Take photos or videos of the crash scene if you are able. Be sure to capture anything you think might have contributed to the accident, property damage, vehicle positions, and other evidence like skid marks. Also make note of any security cameras in the area that may have captured the accident.

5 Get medical treatment

Even if you do not think your injuries are severe, be sure to be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible after the accident. Sometime, internal injuries may not be evident immediately after an accident. Symptoms may worsen over time.

6 Call a car accident lawyer

Before making a statement to the insurance company or accepting a settlement offer, get legal advice from a personal injury lawyer to learn about your legal rights and how much your claim may be worth. The car accident attorneys at Langer & Langer offer FREE case review to personal injury victims.

What to Expect When You File a Car Accident Claim

Indiana law allows you to file a personal injury claim against negligent parties if you suffer injuries in a car accident.

  • Most of the time, motor vehicle accident claims are filed against negligent drivers and their insurance companies.
  • Sometimes, like when a commercial truck driver causes a crash, claims and lawsuits may be filed against the at-fault driver’s employer and/or its insurance company.
  • When negligent maintenance contributes to a car or motorcycle accident, victims can file a lawsuit to recover their losses.
  • If the at-fault driver leaves the scene of the accident and is unable to be located, injured victims can file an uninsured motorist claim against their own policy.

Identifying Who Is Liable

When you retain the services of our law firm, your car accident lawyer will investigate your case to identify who may be legally liable for your losses and any insurance coverage that may apply. In multi-vehicle collisions, multiple parties can be held liable for damages.

Determining How Much Your Case Is Worth

Once we have determined who may be responsible for paying for your losses, we will add up your medical bills, the projected cost of future medical treatment, your lost wages, and any other expenses the accident caused. Then we will discuss the real harm, consistory of pain and suffering, and the impact on a person’s life.

Gathering Evidence

Our car accident attorneys will collect various types of evidence to demonstrate that the other party caused you to be injured. This may include, but is not limited to, photos and video footage of the crash scene, photos of your injuries, medical reports from your doctors, police reports, and more. We may employ the services of accident reconstruction specialists and medical experts as well.

Sending a Demand Letter

We will send a demand letter to the insurance company that includes a statement of our case and a request for the amount of money you are owed. The insurance company will try to undervalue your claim at this stage, attempting to deny liability or minimize your losses. It is common for insurance companies to reply with a counter-offer that is significantly less than a claim is worth.

Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit

If our car accident attorneys cannot reach an agreement with the insurance company that provides you with a fair settlement amount, we will file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. Although it is possible that your case will proceed to trial, it is not likely. Most personal injury lawsuits that involve car accident injuries are settled out of court.

Negotiating with the Insurance Company

Negotiations with the insurance company will likely continue as your case moves through the legal system. Your car accident lawyer will present to you each settlement offer we receive, and offer our advice about whether the offer is fair. Ultimately, however, accepting an offer or continuing to negotiate is your decision.

Going to Trial

If negotiations with the insurance company fail, we will present your case to the jury in court. After both side have presented their cases, and they have cross-examined the other side’s witnesses, the jury will deliberate and reach a verdict. Once a decision is made, all parties will reconvene and the verdict will be announced.

Frequently Asked Questions About Indiana Car Accident Claims

Your case value depends on the severity of injuries, total medical costs, lost income, liability evidence, and available insurance coverage. Soft-tissue cases typically resolve in the tens of thousands. Cases involving spinal cord injury, TBI, or permanent disability can reach the hundreds of thousands or more. A realistic assessment requires reviewing your medical records, the crash report, and all available insurance policy limits.

In nearly every case, the first offer is well below the claim's full value. Adjusters make early offers to close files before you know the total cost of treatment. A soft-tissue injury that appears minor at 30 days may require a year of physical therapy. Signing a release ends all future claims permanently. Have a lawyer review any offer before you sign anything.

Your own UM coverage becomes the recovery source. If you lack UM coverage or your limits are insufficient, our attorneys can investigate other liable parties: a vehicle manufacturer if a defect contributed, a government entity if a road hazard played a role, or an employer if the at-fault driver was operating a company vehicle.

Straightforward soft-tissue cases with clear liability typically resolve in six to nine months. Cases involving ongoing treatment, disputed liability, or severe injuries take 12 to 36 months. Cases that go to trial in Marion County Superior Court take longer but often produce higher outcomes. Our team gives a realistic timeline after reviewing the evidence.

Many people skip representation after low-speed crashes, then discover weeks later that the impact caused a herniated disc requiring surgery. Because our firm works on contingency, consulting one costs only your time. Call (219) 600-8847 for a free case review.

Yes, you can recover as long as your share of fault does not reach 51% under IC § 34-51-2-6. At 30% fault on a $100,000 award, you recover $70,000. At 51% or more, you recover nothing. Do not discuss fault with any adjuster before speaking with a lawyer.

Every day after a crash, the other side is gathering evidence, locking in witness statements, and building its defense. Our car accident attorneys have represented Indiana crash victims since 1980, and every case is taken on contingency: you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
