What to do After an Indiana Pedestrian Crash?
After an Indiana pedestrian crash, your focus should be on healing, not fighting insurance companies. These four immediate steps are crucial to protecting your health and your right to compensation:
- Accept Urgent Medical Care: Do not refuse transport or delay follow-up. Critical injuries, like those sustained in this crash, require immediate and documented care. Your medical records are the indispensable proof needed to secure compensation.
- Say Nothing to Insurance Companies: The other driver’s insurer will contact you quickly. DO NOT give a recorded statement or sign any documents. They seek to use your words against you to assign you more than 50% fault, which, under Indiana law, would eliminate your claim entirely.
- Preserve the Scene: If you can, or have a loved one assist, take pictures of the vehicle, the crash location (skid marks, street signs), and your visible injuries. Evidence disappears fast.
- Contact a Specialized Lawyer Immediately: Indiana’s deadlines are strict (typically two years), and the 51% fault rule requires an attorney’s swift intervention. A pedestrian accident lawyer immediately investigates to prove the driver’s negligence and shields your family from the insurance company’s tactics.
