  • Car accident
  • Bicycle accident

We provide personalized care and attention to all clients who turn to us for help. Your family can also count on us for compassionate assistance after a fatal accident. A Richmond wrongful death lawyer will support you throughout the legal process. 

When Do You Need a Richmond Personal Injury Lawyer?

You may need a personal injury lawyer after any accident caused by someone else’s negligent behavior. An attorney can review your situation and decide if you have a valid claim for compensation.  Generally, you only have a chance to file a claim if someone else caused your accident and the accident resulted in injuries and monetary losses. You can reach out to us for a risk-free consultation to see if you qualify for compensation. 

What Compensation Will You Get After an Accident?

Our team members can help you secure funds to pay for all of the losses caused by another party. For example, you may receive compensation for:

Current and Future Medical Bills

We know that accidents can cause a rising tide of healthcare expenses, especially if you need treatment for a spinal cord injury (SCI), whiplash, a concussion, or broken bones. Your lawyer can bring you compensation for your current and future medical expenses. 

Lost Pay

The party responsible for your actions may need to pay for your lost wages, especially if you took time away from work to recover. You may qualify for funds to cover your diminished earning potential if your accident caused a disabling injury. 

Pain and Suffering

You may qualify for money to cover the non-economic effects of your accident. For example, a Richmond personal injury lawyer could push the at-fault party to cover your mental suffering and emotional anguish.  Our team will explain how pain and suffering is calculated in a personal injury lawsuit and determine the value of your losses. 

Why Hire Our Firm After an Accident in Richmond, IN?

Our team at Vaughan & Vaughan has more than 110 years of experience with personal injury claims. We use our knowledge of the legal system and resources to assist with every aspect of your claim, personalizing the strategies we use to secure fair compensation.  We’ve brought clients over $25 million in compensation. You can review examples of our work through our case results.  Finally, we take on personal injury claims using a contingency pricing system. Therefore, you’ll never have to pay us for legal fees unless we bring you compensation to cover your expenses. Learn more with a risk-free initial consultation.

We Can Investigate the Reasons for Your Accidental Injury

You can rely on our firm to immediately begin investigating your accident to establish fault. We use time-tested investigative strategies to collect evidence. Depending on the facts about your circumstances, we could:
  • Visit the place where your accident happened
  • Find all eyewitnesses and get their official statements
  • Get a copy of the police accident report 
  • Look for surveillance or dashcam video showing your accident
  • Collect pictures of the accident scene
  • Work with expert witnesses
We can use the evidence we collect to build a solid claim to bring you compensation. 

Do You Have to File a Lawsuit After an Accident?

We help many of our clients secure compensation for their losses without filing a personal injury lawsuit. Instead, we may negotiate with the insurance company that represents the at-fault party. We could secure a settlement offer that covers all of your losses.  Generally, it takes less time to negotiate a settlement than it would to sue the responsible party. How long does a personal injury claim take to settle? It may still take several months to complete the process, but lawsuits may take a year or more.  Our team will go over all the available options to resolve your claim. We explore them with you, answer your questions, and keep you informed throughout each step of the legal process. 

Can You Wait to File a Personal Injury Claim in Richmond, IN?

Typically, you only have two years to file a claim for compensation after an accidental injury. After two years, the statute of limitations will run out for most cases in Indiana. A lawyer can review your circumstances and provide information about your specific deadlines.  If you wait too long to file your claim, the court will dismiss your request for payment. Therefore, it's essential that you reach out to a lawyer to start the legal process immediately.

What Should You Avoid After an Accidental Injury?

You should avoid admitting fault for an accident if you want to protect your claim for compensation. Our team also recommends that you avoid posting on social media after your accident.  Do not give the at-fault party’s insurance company a recorded statement without speaking to your lawyer first. Avoiding these common mistakes can help you secure fair compensation.

I have been involved in a couple accidents that havent been my fault. My other attorney was horrible...he never called back, never explained anything. If you asked questions, he would make me feel as if I were incompetent. Elizabeth is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to follow up on everything! Elizabeth always calls or emails back typically the same day. More times than not, she will get back in just an hour or less of leaving a message. I know I'm not their only client, but the way I am treated, makes me feel as if I am. I knew my previous attorney was horrible by the end of it all, but didnt realize just how horrible until I hired Vaughan and Vaughan.

I was involved in my first serious car accident and didn't know what to do. The other party had admitted fault and their insurance company wanted to offer me a very low dollar amount to settle. When I sensed that something was amiss, I immediately called Mr. Vaughn at Vaughn & Vaughn Law Firm. He and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took me through the process step-by-step and made sure that I was comfortable and informed with all decisions made. Mr. Vaughn was not only able to address my medical, property, and personal expenses, he also considered the physical long-term effects of my health as a result of this accident. I was able to settle for a much higher dollar amount that they initially offered. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. If he cannot help you, he will refer you to someone who can. As his firm truly believes, once you hire the firm of Vaughn & Vaughn, you are a part of the family.
