Our Car Accident Lawyers Are Your Voice After a Crash

Were you injured in a car accident in Indiana? Don’t let the insurance company intimidate you into accepting a settlement that is less than your case is worth. If another driver or vehicle parts manufacturer contributed to your crash, the injury attorneys at Langer & Langer can help you recover maximum compensation. With more than 100 years of combined experience handling complicated car accident cases, our law firm has the knowledge, skill and experience to win your case.

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 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.

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.

Car Accident Injuries Are Often Catastrophic

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.

Filing an injury claim or lawsuit can help victims cover some of the expenses caused by their car accident, replace lost income, and receive compensation for non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

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.

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.

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.

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 contribute to a car accident, victims can file a lawsuit to recoup their losses as well.
  • 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.
