How Long You Have to File a Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit in Hammond

If you or someone close to you has suffered a catastrophic injury in a car accident or another type of incident, you don't want to delay your personal injury claim. If your case requires a lawsuit to resolve, you'll have to abide by Indiana's statute of limitations. According to the statute, which can be found in Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4(a)(1), you have two years from the date of the accident to file a civil suit against the at-fault party. Failure to take legal action within two years can result in a failed case.  Fortunately, our highly skilled team can take swift action to meet all deadlines that apply to your case. As long as you hire an attorney from our firm soon, we'll be able to comply with all state filing requirements.

I have been involved in a couple accidents that havent been my fault. My other attorney was horrible...he never called back, never explained anything. If you asked questions, he would make me feel as if I were incompetent. Elizabeth is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to follow up on everything! Elizabeth always calls or emails back typically the same day. More times than not, she will get back in just an hour or less of leaving a message. I know I'm not their only client, but the way I am treated, makes me feel as if I am. I knew my previous attorney was horrible by the end of it all, but didnt realize just how horrible until I hired Vaughan and Vaughan.

I was involved in my first serious car accident and didn't know what to do. The other party had admitted fault and their insurance company wanted to offer me a very low dollar amount to settle. When I sensed that something was amiss, I immediately called Mr. Vaughn at Vaughn & Vaughn Law Firm. He and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took me through the process step-by-step and made sure that I was comfortable and informed with all decisions made. Mr. Vaughn was not only able to address my medical, property, and personal expenses, he also considered the physical long-term effects of my health as a result of this accident. I was able to settle for a much higher dollar amount that they initially offered. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. If he cannot help you, he will refer you to someone who can. As his firm truly believes, once you hire the firm of Vaughn & Vaughn, you are a part of the family.
