Most personal injury accidents stem from someone else’s negligence and leave you holding the bag. How are you supposed to get back on your feet when someone else’s mistakes are bogging you down? Fortunately, Indiana allows its Hoosiers to take civil action against the people responsible for personal injury accidents.
You can work with an Evansville personal injury lawyer to bring a lawsuit against the person responsible for your recent losses. Vaughan & Vaughan can walk you through the process of demanding the compensation you deserve so your experience with Indiana’s civil courts is as stress-free as possible.

What to Expect from Evansville Personal Injury Attorneys
We understand that life after a personal injury can rapidly become chaotic, and we don’t want to make your life more difficult. We’re not going to schedule extraneous meetings with you or make demands when you need to focus on taking care of your health and family.
Instead, our team works as an extension of you. If you choose to bring a personal injury lawyer onboard while you’re recovering from an accident, you can trust our team to independently investigate your accident. We bring together evidence in a variety of forms and analyze it to establish the story behind the negligence that led to your accident.
Once we can assign liability for your losses, we estimate the value of your personal injury case. Our mathematics can prioritize your right to comprehensive personal injury support. Once we’ve completed your claim, we can file your paperwork and discuss how you’d like your fight for support to proceed.
You can also count on our team to:
- Mediate with the liable party on your behalf
- Interface with an insurance provider
- Keep you on top of relevant legal deadlines

How to Build a Personal Injury Claim
No two personal injury claims look alike. The steps that go into building a personal injury claim do require you to hit the same key points. Should you want to demand financial support for your losses, you have an obligation to prove that:
- Another party owed you a duty of care
- That party engaged in avoidable negligence
- The negligence in question resulted in an accident, violating the duty owed to you
- You endured economic losses as a result of that negligence
How do you prove these points? Our personal injury attorneys attack each by bringing forward evidence that can meet Indiana’s burden of proof. That effort makes it easier for you to argue for financial damages in and out of court.
Proving Liability
If you want to hold a specific party or parties accountable for your personal injury losses, you need concrete evidence tying them to your accident. That evidence takes on more than one form, and the more you have, the easier it is to prove your point. Our team strives to bring forward a range of evidence that can include the following:
- Video footage of your accident
- Witness statements
- Photos from before and after the accident
- A police report
- Statements from emergency responders and other medical professionals
- Additional expert witness testimony
- Electronic evidence of negligence
We can include this data alongside our analysis thereof in the claim you submit to a civil judge. Should your case move to trial, we can present this evidence to a judge and jury (or solely the judge in a bench trial) and elaborate on why we believe it outlines your right to economic support.
Your Request for Compensation
You should never undervalue the losses you endured in a personal injury accident. Indiana law entitles you to support for tangible and intangible losses like the following:
- Emotional distress
- Property damage and restoration
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses and pain management
- Stress
How do you calculate the value of non-economic or intangible losses? Our team relies on precedent as well as our vast experience to assign dollar values to concepts like emotional distress or pain and suffering. We can go into more detail about this process during your free personal injury case evaluation.
Filing Your Claim
Indiana Code section 34-11-2-4 gives you no more than two years to bring together all of the data needed to hold another party accountable for your personal injury losses. If you don’t file your claim within these two years, Hoosier judges can deny you the right to fight for support.
Fortunately, you have Vaughan & Vaughan on your side. We stay on top of legal deadlines like this one while still allowing you the space you need to seek out essential medical care or go back to work.
