Injured In A Car Accident?
Car accidents can happen every day on the streets of Indiana and are a leading cause of personal injury and wrongful death cases in the nation. In most collisions, the cause of car accidents is not intentional, but at least one party is at fault.
If your accident and injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior, seeking legal help sooner rather than later can be vital. At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, our phone lines are open 24/7, and we have offices in Indianapolis and Lebanon.
We Can Protect Your Rights And Pursue Compensation
At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, our attorneys dedicate themselves to pursuing the maximum compensation for our clients after an accident. We can represent you in many types of car accident claims, including but not limited to:
- Auto product liability claims
- Distracted driver accidents
- Rear-end accidents
- Single-vehicle accidents
- Texting and driving accidents
- Underinsured motorist claims
- Uninsured motorist claims
Car accidents are never easy to go through, and we know that you are probably shaken up from the experience. The first settlement offer from your insurance provider will likely be tempting. However, we encourage you to keep in mind that insurance companies are known for offering lowball settlements. If you take the settlement, you may end up burning through it while still having substantial medical bills to pay.
At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, we look into the details of your case and how it affected you so we can make a compelling argument for your rightful compensation.
You’ve Been In An Accident – Now What?
Reckless and negligent drivers who cause car collisions and serious injuries are financially responsible for costs and losses. This obligation means that injured victims can recover damages from liable parties rather than paying out of pocket. Depending on the severity of injuries and damages, your full compensation could be substantial.
Types of damages that Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP have recovered include:
- Emergency expenses
- Wrongful death claims
- Prescription medication
- Mileage for medical care
- Medical, hospital and doctor bills
- Pain, suffering and emotional trauma
- Lost income and loss of future earnings
- Rehabilitation or other therapy treatments
- Property damage, repair and rental costs
If you were involved in a car accident, you may be worried about how to pay for medical bills, expensive car repairs or how to support your family. No one ever plans to get in an accident, so when one happens, you may feel lost and uncertain.
That is why our legal team is never afraid to take your case to trial. If we take you on as a client, we will prioritize preparing your case and looking deep into the details surrounding your accident.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
Q: What are the common types of injuries that can lead to a car accident?
A: Car accidents can impact your body in a number of ways:
- Traumatic brain injuries can affect your critical thinking skills, balance and even change your personality. The symptoms may take a while to show.
- Soft tissue injuries can affect your muscles, tendons and ligaments. A common example of a soft tissue injury is whiplash.
- Spinal cord injuries can be particularly devastating, along with other back and neck injuries. With these, the risk of any degree of paralysis is significant.
- Fractures and broken bones can be especially common in car accidents, as wherever an outside object makes contact with your body, a broken bone can follow.
Q: What is the process for filing a car accident claim, and how long does it take?
A: Filing a car accident claim often begins with your free consultation, during which we review the facts of your case and listen to your story. It is completely understandable to have questions about the timeline of your case, but know that it is often hard to define right away, but there can be general estimates.
Even if a car accident case seems straightforward, the due diligence required to build your case takes time. Gathering evidence is a key part of the process, and we work to bring together and organize medical records, police reports and witness statements. This allows us to more effectively outline the damages your car accident caused and the compensation you seek.
From there, negotiations with the insurance company may start, and if they prove unsuccessful, we are prepared to take your case to litigation. At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, we’re aware that many of our clients want to move on with their lives, which is why we make a point of working diligently on every case.
Q: Can I still file a claim if the car accident was partially my fault?
A: Yes, though being more than 50% liable for an accident puts your eligibility at risk. Indiana has a “comparative fault” rule, meaning that if you were, say, 20% at fault for an accident, you could then be eligible for up to 80% of the damages.
It is completely understandable if you have far more questions about car accidents than this website can answer. If you reach out to us, we’d be happy to answer them.
