Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
What can I be compensated for after an accident?
The bottom line is you should be compensated for any accident-related expense. Most people only think about expenses that come up immediately after an accident, including medical bills or vehicle repairs or replacement costs. But it’s also important to think long term. If you need long-term medical care due to your accident, such expenses should be covered. The same goes for replacement income if you cannot return to work due to your accident-related injury.
Many insurance companies want people to only think about the short-term financial impact of an accident. That’s why insurance companies will often make a settlement offer soon after an accident. They’re hoping you’ll accept an offer that doesn’t even come close to covering all your future expenses. Skilled attorneys know how to identify these lowball offers. Your lawyer can demand more compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company or take legal action if they refuse to negotiate in good faith.
Who can I sue if someone else caused by accident?
Because Indiana has a fault-based insurance system, you will likely need to file a personal injury lawsuit in Muncie against the at-fault party. Or rather, you will likely need to take legal action against the at-fault party’s insurance company since they’re the ones who are often responsible for financially compensating you for your accident-related expenses.
It’s also important to realize that you only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit or take other legal action after an accident in Indiana. Specifically, you only have two years from the date of your accident to take legal action. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you could miss out on your only opportunity to obtain the financial compensation you deserve for your accident.
How can a Muncie personal injury lawyer help me?
There are many reasons why you should hire an attorney if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident in Muncie or another neighboring community. Some of these reasons include:
- Verifying that the facts are correct for your accident by conducting an independent investigation.
- Consulting with accident-reconstruction experts if necessary to provide a more in-depth analysis of what happened.
- Negotiating directly with the at-fault party’s insurance company on your behalf for the maximum financial compensation.
- If the at-fault party or their insurance company refuses to cooperate, taking legal action on your behalf.

Cases we handle at our law firm
Our law firm works with people dealing with a wide range of accidents caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior. Such cases often involve:
Car Accidents
Knowing what to do after a Muncie car accident caused by another driver can be confusing. Even knowing what your rights are might not be clear.

Truck Accidents
One of the most serious types of accidents we deal with at our law firm are motor vehicle accidents caused by commercial truck drivers. That’s because tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, delivery trucks and other commercial vehicles are significantly larger than other cars on the road. When large trucks crash into other vehicles, the injuries can often be severe or even fatal. Our experienced Muncie lawyers can help your family every step of the way.

Motorcycle Accidents
Knowing what to do after a Muncie motorcycle accident caused by another driver can be confusing. This is especially true if the driver who caused your crash tries to claim you are at fault – something that often happens when it comes to crashes involving motorcyclists. Worst of all, many insurance companies often take the side of the at-fault driver. We know the truth. We know that most motorcyclists follow the rules of the road. It’s other, reckless drivers who are often to blame. That’s why we want to meet with you right away. When you have an experienced Muncie lawyer investigating your crash, you can demand the compensation you deserve for your accident-related expenses. We know how to investigate such complex cases. We know how the legal system works. You can count on us when it matters most in Muncie.
Personal Injury
When someone behaves in a reckless or negligent manner and causes an accident, such cases are known as personal injury claims. Examples can range from slip and fall accidents in a restaurant or hotel to premises liability claims on someone else’s property. Whatever type of case you may be dealing with, our Muncie personal injury lawyers can demand the compensation you deserve and work with you to hold the at-fault party responsible for their actions. We also handle wrongful death claims and cases involving injuries on college campuses throughout Indiana. Many personal injury accidents often turn out to be complicated legal cases. That’s because the person at fault often denies doing anything wrong. We know how to find the facts and build the strongest possible legal case. You can count on our legal team when it matters most.
