What Are The Steps To Filing A Personal Injury Claim In Indiana?

Here is how it typically works:

1. Determining what your claim is worth: When we meet with you, we will do a thorough assessment of your injury to determine how much your case could be worth. To do so, we typically look at things like how much treatment will cost, how much time you will need to spend away from work to recover and the amount of pain and suffering the injury has caused you.
2. Negotiating with the insurance company: In a lot of cases, we can reach a settlement with the insurance company before having to go to court. We take evidence such as your medical records, witness statements and photographs from the accident to help produce a compelling claim on your behalf.
3. Taking your case to court: If the insurance company still refuses to cooperate, we are prepared to take them to court. We can start this process by preparing a formal claim to file in court. Once we do this, we will notify the insurer of our plans, requiring them to respond within a set period of time.
4. Pursuing compensation after trial: If we win your case, we may still need to haggle with the insurance company to get you the payout you deserve. We can do this by enforcing a judgment. If we do not win your case, we can file an appeal if we believe that there was an issue with the trial and how it was conducted.

How Long Do You Have To File A Personal Injury Or Wrongful Death Claim In Indiana?

In Indiana, you typically have two years from the date of the accident or death to file a claim. However, there can be some exceptions to this rule. For example, if there was a minor involved in the accident, a person involved in the accident isn’t an Indiana resident or if someone involved in the accident tries to conceal their identity, the statute of limitations could be extended.
