Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Elkhart Tackle All Kinds of Cases
When can you turn to a personal injury lawyer for help? If you suspect your recent accident stemmed from someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to a personal injury case.

Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
We Secure Comprehensive Support for Our Clients
It is always our goal to provide survivors with as much financial support as possible. That’s why our team fights to maximize your personal injury settlement. We specifically account for your tangible and intangible losses in our effort to calculate the value of your case. In doing so, we make sure that neither insurance companies nor at-fault parties can minimize your losses.
Your “tangible,” or economic, losses include those that generate traditional bills. You may count your medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages among your economic losses. If a personal injury accident results in the death of a loved one, their funeral expenses may also count as economic losses.
Your “intangible” losses include those that do not generate a paper trail. These may range from emotional distress to reduced quality of life. Our personal injury attorneys in Elkhart, IN, can rely on precedent and experience to assign a value to these losses.
There is no fee

We Don’t Let Insurance Companies Take Advantage of You
Insurance companies can often get a representative out to the site of your accident before emergency responders. Unfortunately, insurance claims adjusters are rarely invested in helping you recover from an accident. Most insurance claims adjusters want to minimize your losses so their employers won’t have to fund your recovery.
Our team recognizes the tactics that insurance claims adjusters use to reduce your likelihood of getting the support you deserve. While we still encourage you to file an insurance claim after a serious accident, we also recommend you have an attorney on staff when you do. Our influence can make your claim watertight.
We can also step in if an insurance adjuster attempts to use bad-faith tactics to deny you support. We do not allow our clients to fall victim to:
- Uncommunicative representatives
- Ghosting or other unprofessional behaviors
- The purposeful slowing of client paperwork
- The removal of key evidence from an accident scene
- Efforts to deny our clients access to key data
- Biased claim denials

We Work Within Indiana’s Deadlines
Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4(a)(1) limits the amount of time in which Hoosiers like you may take civil action against the party responsible for your losses. You have no more than two years to file your claim. The clock on your case starts ticking the same day your accident takes place.
How are you supposed to stay on top of such a tight deadline when you have injuries to deal with? When in doubt, let an Elkhart personal injury attorney act on your behalf. Our team takes pride in managing clients’ personal injury claim-building process. We minimize your stress without minimizing your involvement, ensuring you’re up to date on:
- The data we have asserting liability
- The data we have proving the value of your case
- Whether or not a liable party has tried to contact you
- Insurance companies stances on your recovery
- Court dates relevant to your case
Unfortunately, many Hoosiers let their right to file a personal injury claim pass them by. Why? Because they’re concerned about the cost of legal representation. Fortunately, Vaughan & Vaughan knows how to alleviate those concerns. Our attorneys work on contingency. We don’t get paid until we win your case. Then, our payment comes out of your settlement.
