Car accidents cause serious injuries and negligence causes many of these accidents. With the help of Vaughan & Vaughan, you can hold negligent parties accountable for your injuries, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. We will help you recover the financial compensation you need.
You may have suffered injuries that will take years of recovery time or may be permanent. You deserve to get full compensation. Our personal injury attorneys in Mooresville know how to convince insurers to give fair settlements. If they refuse, we’ll take them to court.
The Car Accident Claim Process
If you believe your car accident wasn’t your fault, your first step is to seek medical attention for your injuries. Then, contact Vaughan & Vaughan for a free consultation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what happened with you and how you can hold the at-fault driver responsible.
Most claims start with an insurance claim against the other driver. If that fails, we can start a civil claim in the courts. Whichever route we take, we must show:
- The responsible parties in your accident
- How they were negligent
- Your evidence to show you have a legal right to make a claim
- The amount of compensation you need to reach a fair settlement
Accidents can happen from many causes. If there were multiple causes in your accident, our Mooresville car accident lawyers can divide the fault according to law and fight to get you the most money you can based on the circumstances.
Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
Our Car Accident Lawyers in Mooresville Can Calculate Your Case’s Value
There are two parts to every car accident case. The first is proving fault. The second is proving the value of your case. When you submit a claim to the insurer or the courts, you must show what damages you’ve suffered and how much money you’re seeking to recover.
Our car accident lawyers can calculate the true value of your damages. Most cases are worth more than you think. You can be eligible for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses
- At-home care
- Lost wages
- Lost potential income
- Property damage
- Non-economic damages
Your lawyer will know how to gather the evidence needed to calculate all the damages in your case. From there, they can negotiate with the insurers to find a fair settlement amount. If your case goes to trial, we will push for the most money possible.

What Happens If I’m Partially to Blame?
In a few states, if you share any blame for your accident then you cannot claim compensation. Indiana is not one of those states. Instead, a rule called modified comparative negligence is used to split fault between different parties in a car crash.
If you’re partially responsible for your accident, your percentage of fault reduces your compensation by that much. So if you’re 20% responsible, 20% of whatever you win is lost. However, if you are over 50% at fault, then you cannot claim compensation.
If an insurer can argue that you share responsibility for an accident, they’ll try to push that claim. Without the help of a car accident lawyer, you may have no defense against their evidence. We will endeavor to reduce any percentage of fault you have to the lowest possible amount.
Vaughan & Vaughan Get Results
Insurance companies will do their best to pay as little as they can. They want to keep profits high. To do so, insurance adjusters will use the insurance system and the law against you to manipulate how much they’ll have to pay.
That’s why you need a car accident attorney to even the odds, and there are few as experienced as Vaughan & Vaughan. We’ve been helping the injured in Indiana since 1913 and we have a long history of getting favorable results for clients, both in settlements and in trials.

What Should I Tell My Insurer?
You must report your car accident to your own insurer after your accident. This should be done as soon as possible. If you don’t do this, you could lose your coverage and become personally liable for any damages the other party claims against you.
When you notify your insurer, be brief and factual. Do not volunteer extra information. If they try to ask for more information from you, tell them you are getting legal advice first. Once you’ve done that, contact Vaughan & Vaughan.
