Don’t let negligent construction crews get away with their misconduct. If you find yourself struggling to recover from a serious construction accident, Fishers’ lawyers can help you bring your losses to a judge’s attention.
Your efforts in civil court can see you receive significant financial support from the party liable for your losses. You can’t win those damages without first filing a claim, though. Fortunately, there are Fishers personal injury lawyers prepared to investigate your construction site accident right now.
Let Vaughan & Vaughan look into the negligence that caused your recent construction accident. Our help can see you receive the financial support you need to get your life back on track.
Your Right to Act After a Construction Accident
Your right to pursue compensation for losses sustained in a construction accident depends on your ability to prove that another party’s negligence bears the blame for your circumstances. You have an obligation, per Indiana’s burden of proof, to use hard evidence to prove the following points:
- Construction crews, site managers, and/or related parties owed you a duty of care
- Negligence exhibited by the aforementioned parties violated that duty
- You endured economic hardship as a result of that negligence
Finding the evidence to meet the state’s burden of proof can prove challenging when you’re simultaneously contending with injuries and pressure to go back to work. No one will make you return to an accident scene, though, particularly if it might put you in close proximity with a negligent party bent on retaliation.
You can instead request that a Fishers construction accident attorney helm an investigation into your losses. Our team can prioritize an evidence-gathering effort to help you determine whether or not you want to take your case to civil court.
Common Causes of Dangerous Construction Accidents
The negligence that can readily cause dangerous construction accidents can include the following:
- Unmonitored debris
- Faulty machinery
- Lack of awareness while operating machinery on the road
- Lack of training or licensure
- Lack of safety equipment
- Improper staffing
- Improper use of machinery
- Electrocution
- Explosions or fires
If you’re struggling to prove your right to civil action after an accident like these, let Vaughan & Vaughan know. We can use police reports, expert witness statements, and bystander photos or videos to elaborate on the circumstances that led to your losses.

The Attention It Deserves
What to Do After a Construction Accident
There’s no single best way to recover from a construction accident. You need to customize your recovery based on your injuries, other losses, and pressing demands.
Should you find yourself struggling to contend with the onslaught of bills related to your accident, though, know that there are certain steps you can take to mitigate those expenses. These include the following:
Work With Medical Professionals to Assess Your Losses
You need to elaborate on the severity of your construction accident losses if you want to bring a personal injury claim forward with any party that can help you pay your bills. The easiest way to do this is to work with medical professionals to value your losses.
While attorneys can help you do the math to determine the dollar value of your case, medical professionals can include comprehensive assessments of your physical injuries alongside your initial claim. These assessments can help you argue for the compensation you need to recover by telling a judge how severely your life has changed in the wake of your physical injuries.
File an Insurance Claim, If Possible
It may not be immediately evident whether or not the party liable for your construction accident has insurance. If you can get insurance information from a relevant party, though, you may have the right to bring a claim forward with a provider.
Be careful when working with insurance claims adjusters, though. These parties can attempt to minimize your losses to save their employers’ money. If you consistently find yourself having to defend your demands for fair compensation, you can ask an attorney to oversee your conversations with a claims adjuster.
Go to Civil Court With Your Concerns
As evidenced here, you do not necessarily have to go to civil court if you want to receive financial compensation for construction accident losses. That said, if you can’t get an insurance provider to cooperate with you, a personal injury claim might net you the compensation you need to fund your recovery.
Fishers, IN, construction accident attorneys can help you investigate your losses and build a claim to submit to Indiana’s civil judges. We can keep you on top of the deadlines relevant to your case and manage your communications with every party related to your accident.
Should a judge move your construction accident claim forward, you can count on our team to represent your best interests in and out of the courtroom. We can mediate out-of-court settlement negotiations and make sure a liable party recognizes the validity of your losses. Should said party fail to cooperate, we can initiate trial proceedings against them.

When to Reach Out to a Construction Accident Attorney
According to Indiana Code section 34-11-2-4, you have no more than two years to take legal action against the party liable for your recent construction accident. This statute of limitations exists to keep the cases that come before Indiana’s civil judges up-to-date.
If you do not file a personal injury claim within Indiana’s statute of limitations, you may lose the right to demand fair compensation for your losses. Even so, you may find yourself reluctant to assume legal action against another party either out of fear of the cost or lack of experience.
Vaughan & Vaughan understands these concerns and works to alleviate them in every client. For starters, our team works on contingency. Our contingency fee agreements protect your finances and ensure that we don’t get paid unless we win your case.
All the while, we bring decades of combined experience to your case to make the legal proceedings as straightforward as possible. You can trust Vaughan & Vaughan to fight for your right to maximum accident compensation – we never settle for less to close a case early.
