Negligence and Car Accidents
Accidents happen all the time in Indiana, many of them caused by the negligence of another driver. Getting them to accept responsibility for what happened can be tough, and their insurance companies won’t push them to do so.
Why? Because insurance companies want to protect their profits. If you get a settlement offer, it’s often the lowest offer they can get away with. It could even be nothing. You may even be blamed for the accident by the insurers or the other party.
Can you fight back to get what you deserve? Yes, you can. You can claim that the other party at the accident acted negligently and that you deserve financial support. The way to do that is to hire our car accident lawyers in Martinsville, Indiana. We’ll stand up for you.
Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
When Should I Call a Lawyer?
In general, victims who get the help of a personal injury lawyer get more than those who don’t, on average. A lawyer can determine how much compensation your case truly deserves, and we have the skills and the resources to get the evidence to prove your case is worth more than what the insurers are offering you.
Before you agree to anything the other side’s insurer says, we encourage you to contact a lawyer for advice. Vaughan & Vaughan offers free consultations. We’ll listen to your story, answer your questions, and explain your legal options so you can decide what to do next, rather than taking the insurance company at their word.
After your accident, the first thing to do is call 911 and report the accident to the police. The second thing is to see a doctor for an examination, even if you feel fine, as soon as possible. Then, contact Vaughan & Vaughan for a free consultation. Your crash report and examination will help us decide if we can help you.

Why Should I See a Doctor as Soon as Possible After a Crash?
After a crash, your body is flooded with adrenaline. This can help you get to safety, but it can also hide injuries. It may take days or weeks for your injuries to reveal themselves, and by then they may need a lot more care.
By seeing a doctor early, you can start treatment before your injuries get worse. You’ll also create a medical record that will prove useful for your case, and you may have a potential expert witness if your case goes to trial.
You’ll also raise your chances of success. The longer you wait between your accident and your treatment, the more room an insurance adjuster has to argue that the accident did not cause your injuries.
What Is the Value of My Car Accident Case?
Since no two settlements are the same, you’ll need to work with our car accident lawyers in Martinsville to find out. If we believe you have a case, we’ll start an investigation to find out the value of your economic and non-economic damages.
Your economic damages are the financial losses you’ve suffered because of your accident. This include things like:
- Past and future medical expenses related to the accident.
- Lost income because you couldn’t work.
- Lost future earning capacity if you cannot work again.
- Property damage to your vehicle.
- Necessary modifications to your home to accommodate your injury.
You can also receive compensation for non-economic damages. These are the emotional impacts caused by your accident. These include pain and suffering, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and more.
Let Vaughan & Vaughan Handle the Insurers
If an insurer from the other side contacts you about a settlement offer, you can be sure that they’re offering as little as they can. That’s in their best interest. They may even try to act sympathetically and say it’s the best they can do.
It may be tempting to take the offer, but once you do you cannot get more later if your damages are higher than you know. They’re taking advantage of your ignorance and your need for money to pay for your accident costs. Don’t let them manipulate you.
Let us help you find a settlement that truly meets your needs. Once you have an accident attorney on your side, they’ll have to sit down and negotiate. As our case results show, we may get you much more than what the insurers are willing to pay.
Do You Handle All Accident Cases?
Vaughan & Vaughan specializes in all car accident cases. This also includes bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and fatalities involving motor vehicles. As long as a motor vehicle was involved, odds are that we have the experience to handle your claim.
You have a limited amount of time to start your claim after a crash. Indiana imposes a two-year statute of limitations. You cannot begin a car accident claim past this deadline, barring very specific circumstances. In some cases, the deadline may be sooner than this. Therefore, we urge you to contact our car accident lawyers in Martinsville, Indiana right away.
