When to Call a Personal Injury Lawyer
We recommend you call a personal injury lawyer in Gary sooner rather than later. Why? There are several reasons – and benefits. These include help filing an insurance claim and guidance when exploring your right to legal recourse.
Moreover, we help you stay on top of the deadlines most relevant to your case. If you want to file a claim with Indiana’s civil courts, you need to do so before your statute of limitations expires. Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4(a)(1) requires injured Hoosiers to act within two years of an accident, or else they forfeit their right to compensation won through the civil system.
Our team knows how to work within the timeline set by Indiana’s statute of limitations. We can take over an investigation into your losses while you recover, ensuring that you have the right to discuss your case in court.

What to Expect From Our Attorneys
We understand that not everyone knows what to expect when working with a personal injury lawyer in Gary. Our legal team can work with you to break down the specifics of your case and outline the services that might best help you recover. These services can include the following:
Support In and Out of Civil Court
Our team does more than argue for your right to justice in front of a jury. We can help you address nearly every facet of your recovery, from the process of filing an insurance claim to settlement negotiations.
Vaughan & Vaughan customizes its approach to each client’s case based on the nature of a client’s accident. If you do not want to go to trial, we can connect with a liable party to see if they’re open to settlement negotiations. We can then mediate those conversations so they remain focused on your right to financial support.
We make every effort to keep our clients as comfortable with the legal process as possible. Should an at-fault party become belligerent, we can transition you out of settlement negotiations and into a civil trial. We can then prepare you for the trial process without complicating your physical and financial recovery. All the while, we work on contingency, protecting your savings.
A Comprehensive Investigation Into Your Losses
You cannot build a personal injury case without evidence of someone else’s fault. As your attorneys, it’s our job to gather the evidence that may help present the reality of your case to a civil court. We work with experienced investigators to gather information from an accident scene, the surrounding environment, and witnesses.
We can also call on professionals in our network of peers. Those professionals, including accident recreationists and medical examiners, can lend their expertise to your fight for support. Their testimony, known as expert testimony, lends credibility to your assertions of fault. That same testimony can also help you maximize your accident damages.
A Fight for the Compensation You Deserve
We believe you deserve comprehensive financial support following a severe accident. We carefully analyze the losses tied to your accident in an effort to secure that compensation for you. Indiana’s civil courts allow you to include economic and non-economic losses in your request for support. This means your request for a settlement may address your:
- Emotional distress
- Emergency medical care and ambulance fees
- Additional healthcare treatments, including GP appointments
- Restoration of damaged property
- Compensation for lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
- Wrongful death, if applicable
We know that losses like “pain and suffering” don’t have a traditional dollar value pre-assigned to them. Fortunately, our years of experience in the civil system allow us to calculate that value on your behalf. We can integrate the estimated value of your non-economic losses into your claim to maximize the support you walk away with after the conclusion of a case.
