Victims of motorcycle crashes in Indiana may qualify for compensation based on the severity of their injuries, financial losses, and the circumstances of the crash. Our Valparaiso attorneys build each claim to recover the full range of damages allowed under the law.
1. Recover Economic Damages
Medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and property damage.
2. Claim Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Not all losses are visible. Let us help you calculate the full value of your motorcycle collision case.
Without the protection of a vehicle frame, riders often suffer injuries that go far beyond scrapes and bruises. When medical treatment is extensive, recovery takes months, or the injury impacts your ability to work or live normally, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
We commonly pursue claims involving:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Including concussions, memory loss, and long-term neurological complications.
Fractures and Broken Bones
Especially those requiring surgery or prolonged rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Leading to mobility loss, chronic pain, or permanent paralysis.
Severe Road Rash
Causing infection, nerve damage, or permanent scarring.
Internal Organ Damage
Often requiring emergency surgery and long-term care.
Amputations and Crush Injuries
Resulting in permanent disability and lifestyle changes.
Facial Injuries and Disfigurement
With lasting physical and emotional impact.
When you’re hit by a driver who has no insurance, not enough coverage, or flees the scene, securing compensation becomes more complicated. These situations are more common than many expect, and they often leave injured riders unsure how to recover their losses.
Indiana law requires all motorists, including motorcyclists, to carry minimum liability coverage of:
Still, many at-fault drivers fail to meet these limits or carry no insurance at all. Our attorneys handle uninsured and underinsured motorcycle accident claims by:
Filing UM/UIM claims:
Using your policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to recover your losses.
Investigating hit-and-run crashes:
Securing witness statements, camera footage, and law enforcement reports to identify the driver.
Pursuing additional liable parties:
Holding employers, vehicle owners, or other negligent parties accountable.
Negotiating for full recovery:
Working with insurers to maximize compensation through all available channels.
Even if the other driver disappeared or lacked coverage, you may still have legal options. We can review your policy and help you understand where compensation may come from.
Motorcycle accident claims in Indiana are governed by specific legal rules covering fault, helmet use, lane safety, and strict deadlines for filing. We apply these laws to build stronger claims, challenge insurer tactics, and protect your right to full compensation.
1. Helmet Law in Indiana
State law requires helmets only for riders under 18 or those with a learner’s permit (IC 9-19-7-1). Adults are not required to wear helmets, and the lack of one does not automatically assign fault, though insurers may try to argue otherwise in injury claims.
2. Comparative Fault Rules
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault system (IC 34-51-2-6).
3. Indiana Motorcycle Traffic Rules
Indiana traffic laws establish specific rights and responsibilities for motorcyclists on the road.
4. Statute of Limitations
Indiana sets strict deadlines for filing motorcycle accident claims, and missing these deadlines can bar your right to compensation.
After a serious motorcycle crash, experience, strategy, and results matter more than ever, and that’s exactly what Langer & Langer brings to every case.

Where your accident happened can affect your claim. We can confirm if your location falls within our coverage.
Yes, you may still need a motorcycle accident lawyer for minor injuries if liability is disputed or insurance delays your claim. Minor injuries can evolve into costly, long-term issues and deserve legal protection.
A motorcycle accident claim in Indiana typically settles in 3 to 12 months, depending on injury severity, insurance cooperation, and whether a lawsuit is filed.
Most motorcycle accident claims vary from $15,000 to several hundred thousand dollars, based on medical costs, fault, long-term impact, and available insurance coverage.
It depends. You can reopen a motorcycle accident claim only in rare cases, such as fraud, new evidence, or if it was settled without full disclosure. Most settled claims are final and legally binding.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include failure to yield, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding, and left-turn violations by other drivers.

Langer & Langer
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
