The Bills Are Piling Up.
The Calls Won't Stop.
We Can Help.
When a vehicle hits a pedestrian, the injuries are often severe. Broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal injuries can lead to surgery, ongoing treatment, and time away from work. While you focus on recovery, the insurance company may already be looking for ways to limit what it has to pay.
Vaughan & Vaughan has a former police lieutenant on staff, allowing us to move faster on investigations and build stronger claims. We dedicate significantly more time to every client than high-volume firms ever could.

The Answers You Need After a Lafayette Pedestrian Accident
What Are the Most Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Lafayette?
Distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding through residential areas, and impaired driving account for the majority of pedestrian collisions in Tippecanoe County. High-traffic corridors near Purdue University's campus see a large share of these incidents.
Our team investigates the specific circumstances of your crash to hold the responsible parties accountable.
What if the Driver Says I Was Jaywalking?
Insurance adjusters frequently try to shift blame onto pedestrians. Indiana's comparative fault rules mean your compensation may be reduced by your share of responsibility, but you can still recover as long as your fault does not exceed 50%.
Our attorneys gather surveillance footage, traffic signal data, and witness accounts to build a clear picture of what actually happened.
How Does Vaughan & Vaughan Protect My Settlement From Medical Liens?
After a serious pedestrian injury, medical bills can accumulate rapidly. Hospitals, health insurers, and government programs may all place liens against your future settlement.
Unlike many firms, we negotiate every outstanding balance, lien, and payback on your behalf before you receive your check.
Should I Accept the Insurance Company's First Offer After a Pedestrian Accident?
The first offer is often made before the full cost of your injuries is clear. Early settlements may not account for future treatment, lost income, or the long-term impact of your injuries. Vaughan & Vaughan evaluate every offer against the full value of the claim before advising you on what to do next.
