Jasper Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Are Quick on the Scene
You have the right to medical, financial, and legal support immediately following a serious motorcycle accident. If you contact an attorney quickly enough, our team can join you at the scene of your crash to begin discussing your right to recover. We can also serve as a mediator between you, a liable party, and any insurance claims adjusters.
In fact, the sooner you connect with our team, the better. Even if you can’t reach out on the same day as your accident, we encourage you to book a free case consultation before your statute of limitations expires.
Indiana only gives you two years to take legal action against the party responsible for your motorcycle accident. If you get in touch with an attorney sooner rather than later, we can better preserve the evidence relevant to your recovery. That said, our doors are always open, and we can always offer motorcycle accident survivors well-founded legal advice.
We Don’t Let Insurance Claims Adjusters Take Advantage of Your Confusion
Because Indiana requires all of its drivers to purchase insurance, the party responsible for your motorcycle accident should have coverage. You may subsequently have the right to file an insurance claim with that person’s provider. However, insurance claims don’t fix your problems right away.
In many cases, insurance companies can complicate your recovery. Insurance claims adjusters do not want to give you money. They may use underhanded tactics to reduce your chance of getting the support you deserve, including ghosting you or destroying evidence.
We know all about the bad faith tactics insurance companies use to minimize their responsibility to you after a motorcycle accident. That’s why our attorneys want to jump on your case as soon as possible. The sooner you call us, the faster we can protect you from an insurance company’s bad intentions.
Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
How to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Indiana
To bring information about your motorcycle accident – and an argument for your right to recover – forward in civil court, you need:
- Evidence of fault
- A narrative describing your accident
- An estimated value of your losses
- A request for financial support
You can count on our motorcycle accident lawyers in Jasper, IN, to gather this information and compile it in a claim that meets a civil court’s expectations. We’ll keep you up to date as our investigation into your accident progresses, allowing us to identify a liable party and establish your right to recover financially.
How to Find Evidence Proving Your Right to a Claim
As a private citizen, you are not obligated to return to the scene of a motorcycle accident to gather evidence of fault. You can delegate that responsibility to a private investigator or personal injury lawyer. Our team can work with our professional connections to find the physical debris, photos, videos, and electronic data that can create your case.
We can also supplement our findings with input from expert witnesses and bystander testimonies. We’ll hunt witnesses down on your behalf, allowing you to focus entirely on your physical and emotional recovery.
How to Calculate the Value of Your Motorcycle Accident
It’s our job to help you get as much financial support as possible following a motorcycle accident. Fortunately, your personal injury claim allows you to base your request for damages on the value of your economic and non-economic losses. The losses we can integrate into your claim may include the following:
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
- Medical emergencies
- Surgeries and prolonged medical care
- Ambulance fees
- Lost wages
- Temporary or permanent disabilities
- Property damage, restoration, and temporary rentals
There is no fee

How to Fight for Fair Accident Damages
Once our lawyers determine the possible value of your motorcycle accident claim, it’s time to fight for your damages. Don’t think you have to go straight to trial to get the support you deserve. Once you file a personal injury claim, you can work with a lawyer to arrange private settlement negotiations with your liable party.
In many cases, our team can create a dialogue with the liable party’s lawyers. In doing so, we can streamline the process of negotiating for your settlement. Should negotiations break down, we’re more than prepared to take your case to trial.
Fortunately, most motorcycle accident cases conclude after negotiations. We can prepare you for this process ahead of time, especially if it puts you face-to-face with someone who seriously injured you or a loved one. You can count on our team to keep conversations civil while continually reiterating your right to maximize your accident compensation.
Vaughan & Vaughan Offers Contingency-Based Representation
We believe Indiana motorcyclists have the right to feel safe on the road. In instances where they don’t, we believe injured motorcyclists have the right to hold bad actors liable for dangerous accidents. Our team wants to make it as easy as possible for survivors like you to get back on their feet, no matter how nebulous the relevant statutes seem.
That’s why our motorcycle accident attorneys in Jasper, IN, offer case consultations free of charge and why we work on contingency. You can contact us online or by phone to schedule an appointment with a tried-and-tested legal professional today. We’re ready to fight for you.
