These are merely a few examples. When our personal injury lawyers understand the type of accident you endured, they can put together a strong approach for your claim.

For victims of larger vehicle crashes, an Indiana trucking accident lawsuit guide can help recover compensation for semi-truck or commercial truck accidents.
Our law office is based in Valparaiso; we feel honored to also serve clients in Bloomington, Elkhart and nearby communities. Major highways such as State Road 37 and State Road 46 are crucial routes but also hotspots for traffic accidents. The presence of nearby hospitals like IU Health Bloomington Hospital ensures that accident victims can receive immediate medical care. Our attorneys understand the local landscape and are well-versed in the most dangerous roadways in Bloomington, such as the intersections along Walnut Street and Kirkwood Avenue. Having counsel who understands these nuances can prove pivotal in your case.
Not every car crash will lead to an actionable lawsuit. To pursue a car accident claim successfully, you must have several elements present:
In Indiana, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the date of the accident. This means that you need to act quickly. When you have a lawyer, they can help you gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies and build a compelling case in a timely manner.
If you have suffered injuries in a car accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to various types of damages through a personal injury claim. They include:
Indiana operates under a “modified comparative fault” system. This means you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are partially responsible, your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your total damages amount to $10,000, you would be eligible to receive $8,000.
In Indiana, you have a two-year window from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Failing to initiate legal action within this period may forfeit your right to seek compensation, potentially leaving you with severe financial strain and emotional distress.
The aftermath of your car accident can flow more smoothly if you understand the damages you can claim. Our Bloomington personal injury attorneys can provide guidance tailored to your situation and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Recovering from a car accident can be overwhelming. Our Bloomington car accident lawyers guide clients through every step, ensuring claims are properly documented and pursued. Beyond car accidents, we also assist victims of truck collisions, bicycle crashes, and motorcycle accidents with legal help, providing comprehensive legal support for all roadway injuries.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
