Why you deserve compensation after an accident

If you are reading this article after surviving an accident, we know there is a lot on your mind! 

Perhaps you are still in the hospital, or you were discharged from a lengthy hospital or rehabilitation stay. You may have needed surgeries, therapies, numerous doctors’ appointments, and more. Accidents disable people every year, and even “minor” injuries can cause pain for years. 

All of this contributes to the stress that car accident victims experience in the days, weeks, months, and even years after their accident. 

And, of course, accidents don’t only cause physical damages. They often have significant economic impact. You likely missed work, and it’s possible that you even lost the ability to work. 

We often hear our clients asking questions like this: 

  • How am I going to pay my medical bills?
  • What if I need to keep seeing doctors, therapists, and other healthcare providers? 
  • What am I going to do for work? 
  • How am I supposed to adjust to being disabled from my accident?
  • Will all of this stress affect my body’s ability to heal from my injuries? 

Getting compensation is important, because you deserve to be able to pay your medical bills, continue to seek care, replace your income, and recover from your accident. 

If your losses (including financial losses and physical injuries) were the result of someone else’s carelessness or negligence, you deserve compensation. Yosha Law Firm can help.

Understanding accidents in Indiana: Facts, laws, and more 

Let’s take a look at some of the most important things to be aware of if you have been in an accident in Noblesville or the surrounding areas of Hamilton County. 

This information will help you understand your next steps, including your decision to seek legal representation. 

What causes most car accidents in Indiana?

Many of the accidents in Indiana are caused by reckless, careless, or negligent driving. In the event that this kind of carelessness caused the accident that injured you, you are more likely to be able to get compensation for your losses. 

Distracted drivers: Distracted driving causes many accidents in Noblesville every year. Although it is illegal for drivers to use a handheld device while driving, there are always people who disregard the law and use their phones while driving. 

In 2020 alone, 39 people in Indiana were killed by accidents caused by distracted driving. Nationally, there are about 3,000 distracted driving fatalities every year. 

Distracted drivers can be held responsible for accidents that they cause while texting, emailing, making a call, searching for information, etc. 

Speeding and/or reckless driving: Reckless driving takes many forms, including driving at high rates of speed, failing to yield the right of way, tailgating, disregarding weather or road conditions, and ignoring signage. 

If your accident was caused by a driver who was reckless on the road, your Noblesville car accident attorney can prove that their recklessness caused the accident and your injuries. 

Driving under the influence: Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, illegal substances, or even some prescription drugs can cause serious impairments in judgment and response time. Unfortunately, Indiana has a problem with intoxicated drivers. Hamilton County is the site of thousands of DWI arrests every year, and these drivers are absolutely a liability on our roads. 

Driving while drowsy: Drowsy driving can be just as dangerous as intoxicated driving. Tired drivers have slow reflexes, and falling asleep on the road can cause a serious accident. 

Although it can be a challenge to prove that another driver’s sleepiness caused them to crash and injure you, an experienced car accident attorney in Noblesville can interpret the evidence and prove if tiredness was a contributing factor to the accident. 

Find a qualified attorney who specializes in personal injury and has experience handling car accident cases.

What are Indiana’s car accident laws?

It can be a challenge to understand the laws surrounding an accident or personal injury. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons why we recommend that you speak with a car accident lawyer before making any decisions about seeking compensation. 

An attorney will help you understand how Indiana’s car accident laws affect you, based on your unique circumstances. 

Here are some frequently asked questions about the laws that affect drivers in Noblesville:

Is Indiana an “at fault” state? 

Yes. Indiana is an at fault state, which means that the person who is the most responsible for any accident that causes damages is responsible for compensating the injured party for those damages. 

Can more than one driver be at fault for an accident? 

Yes. Indiana state law recognizes that not all accidents are caused by just one party; sometimes, accidents can be caused by two or more people. Additionally, it’s not always just the drivers who cause an accident! Auto manufacturers, construction companies, commercial trucking businesses, and cities may be held responsible for their role in causing an accident. 

Indiana uses the “comparative negligence” rule, which means that anyone who is 51% or more responsible for the accident will be held responsible, but the injured party’s compensation may be reduced if they were partially at fault for the accident (less than 50% responsible). 

Anyone who was less than 50% responsible for the accident can sue for damages. For example, if you were 15% responsible for the accident, you can sue the other party (or parties), but they cannot sue you, as they were 85% responsible. However, your role in the accident will likely lead to your compensation package being reduced by 15%.

Is there a statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Indiana?

Indiana has a statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, which is the broader category that car accident cases fit into. You have two years to file a claim after the accident occurs. 

It is better to start the process earlier, rather than later, because your lawyer will be able to collect more recent evidence, interview witnesses, and start you on the path to compensation sooner. 

Personal injury lawsuits in Noblesville can take months to years to complete, and the earlier you start, the sooner you can get the money you need to cover your bills, lost income, and more.

How your Noblesville car accident lawyer will prove negligence

One of our most important responsibilities as your lawyer is to prove the ways that the other driver caused your injuries through negligence, recklessness, or other problematic behavior. Even when you know that the other driver was at fault, it can be difficult to prove that in court.  

Proving negligence can get complicated, as car accidents are rarely simple. Car accident victims who try to prove on their own that the other driver was responsible often have a difficult time, especially when arguing against insurance companies and their attorneys. 

To prove negligence, we must prove each of the following statements to be true: 

  • The other party had a duty of care to drive safely on the roads; this is easy because all drivers have this responsibility
  • The other party breached their duty of care by driving irresponsibly, recklessly, or negligently
  • The victim suffered injuries and losses that required medical treatment, either immediately, after the accident, or in an ongoing capacity
  • The other party was the cause of the accident

In negotiations with the other party’s insurer or before the court, our car accident lawyers in Noblesville, IN, will demonstrate that all of these are true by providing: 

  • Physical evidence from the scene of the accident
  • Videos and images from area security cameras, dash cams, or passers-by
  • Police reports
  • Witness testimonies
  • Other kinds of evidence that are unique to your case

Once we have proven that the other party was at fault, we can demonstrate the severity of your injuries and make a case for the amount of compensation you deserve.

It's important to seek immediate medical attention after a car accident, even if injuries seem minor at first.

What kinds of injuries are common after Noblesville, IN car accidents? 

Car accident injuries can range from minor to serious, and even fatal. 

These are some of the life-changing injuries that can be caused by a car accident: 

  • Brain injuries (including Traumatic Brain Injuries)
  • Broken bones (limbs, fingers, ribs, and more)
  • Burns
  • Head and skull injuries
  • Joint injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Limb amputation
  • Penetrative injuries from flying debris
  • Scarring
  • Seat belt injuries
  • Serious bruising
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Torn ligaments
  • Whiplash
  • Wrongful death

Depending on the seriousness of your injuries, you may face long hospital stays, years of rehabilitation treatments, expensive medical treatments, multiple surgeries, and even permanent disability. 

When should you call a car accident lawyer in Noblesville, IN?

In very minor accidents that result in zero injuries, such as a single-vehicle accident that you were responsible for, you may not need to speak to an attorney. However, it is a good idea to seek legal representation if any of these statements are true: 

  • You were seriously injured
  • You will need long-term medical treatment to recovery
  • Another driver, cyclist, or pedestrian was seriously injured
  • Someone was killed in the accident
  • Your injuries caused you to miss work or leave your job
  • Your car was badly damaged or totalled
  • You are struggling to get anywhere with your insurance company
  • An insurance company has asked you to sign a release form
  • An insurance company has made an offer to settle your claim
  • You were the victim of a hit-and-run accident
  • There is a dispute over liability or fault 

Was my accident serious enough to contact a lawyer?

Our Noblesville car accident lawyers often hear from clients that they hesitated to contact us because they didn’t know if their accident was “serious enough.”  Please don’t worry about that! Our consultations are free, and you have no obligation to retain us for your legal representation if you decide it is not the right next step. 

It is always a good idea to contact a car accident attorney to discuss your case, rather than waiting until it is too late to get help with your accident claim. Our consultations help potential clients determine if they need to hire us or not. Sometimes, we let people know that they don’t have a particularly strong case, but we never condescend to a potential client or make them feel bad for coming in to ask questions!
