Our Beech Grove car accident lawyers can help you navigate this difficult process and fight for the settlement you deserve.

How Long do I Have to File My Claim in Beech Grove?
The statute of limitations, or the amount of time you have to file a car accident lawsuit, varies from state to state. In Beech Grove, Indiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
However, you should file your claim or lawsuit as soon as you possibly can. Your insurance company may try to deny your claim if you wait too long. Negotiations can also take time, and you could miss your deadline to take legal action against the at-fault driver.
Our lawyers can help determine how much time you have to file a lawsuit. We can submit the necessary documents in a timely manner to help meet your deadline.

What If I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Don’t let partial responsibility be the reason you hesitate to seek out professional advice. Certain states, including the states we cover, follow comparative negligence rules. This means you’re able to collect a settlement amount even if you’re partially responsible for the accident.
In Indiana, comparative negligence protects you only if your amount of responsibility does not exceed the other driver’s fault.

What Should I Do If I’m Involved in a Car Accident?
You may have already been involved in a car accident, and that’s why you’re here. But knowing what to do before you are involved in one can be incredibly helpful for you. For post-car accident visitors, use this checklist to see what you may have missed the day of the crash and read on to find out what you still need to do.
Call 911 and Stay on the Scene
The guilty party may try to convince you out of this step, but don’t let them. Having police on the scene means there’s an official report of the accident, witnesses and all, and you can receive the medical attention you may need.
Get a Medical Examination and Go to the ER If Necessary
The most important thing after a car accident is your health. Even if it’s just a small twinge in your neck, an official medical report can help back up any physical effects you develop in the days following.
Take Pictures
Document the damage to your car and yourself. This will be helpful to your case. If you are too shaken to take the pictures yourself, ask a witness.
Consider Working with a Lawyer As Soon As Possible
A lawyer can investigate your accident and gather evidence of another party’s liability.
What If I Develop Whiplash After the Accident?
Go see a doctor immediately after your accident. According to Mayo Clinic, symptoms of whiplash can take days to appear. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, pain in the neck and shoulders, and tightness of muscles.
