We Will Determine What Caused Your Accident

A truck accident can have multiple contributors and, sometimes, multiple at-fault parties. Using your testimony, the police report, and the truck’s black box data, we may find that one or more of the following factors caused your accident: Speeding Drunk driving Fatigue Vehicle malfunction Inclement weather conditions Poor roadway maintenance Failing to follow traffic signals Road rage

We Will Manage All Communications with the Insurance Company

If you suffered an injury, our team of lawyers can communicate with the liable insurance company. Our team has stood toe-to-toe with large insurance companies in the past – and we have no problem negotiating for what you need.

We Will Pursue the Full Cost of Your Injury-Related Expenses

Your truck accident may merit compensation for: Medical bills Lost income Pain and suffering Loss of future earning capacity Property damage expenses Transportation costs Assistive devices (such as wheelchairs) Loss of consortium Funeral costs We will seek everything the liable party owes you – even losses not listed here.

We May File a Civil Lawsuit

You have options if insurance negotiations don’t work out. You can file a lawsuit against the at-fault party, which may include a driver or their employer. To have a viable lawsuit, you must file it within Indiana’s statute of limitations – otherwise known as I.C. § 34-11-2-4. Here, you generally have two years to file your lawsuit. Our trial-ready firm can start building your lawsuit whenever you’re ready.

Begin Your Case With a Proven Truck Accident Law Firm

Our Westfield truck accident lawyer handles cases involving cargo trucks, semis, tractor-trailers, and other large commercial vehicles. The impact of a large truck on a passenger vehicle can be catastrophic. Often, those in the smaller car sustain devastating injuries. If a truck driver caused your crash, they or their employer could be liable for your damages.

You do not have to take on the trucking company or their lawyers and insurance agents on your own. We will stand by your side and help you pursue the compensation you need and deserve.

We charge no upfront fees for our legal services and only take payment if we secure monetary compensation on your behalf. Call us at 800-333-9999 at any time to speak to one of our dedicated Westfield truck accident lawyers and set up a free consultation.

Sometimes an auto accident injury is not evident until much later. Even if you haven’t suffered a catastrophic injury you still may need medical treatment. You should seek medical care immediately, even if you don’t think you are badly hurt. Some severe injuries may not be immediately apparent. This is the best way to physically and legally protect yourself and your loved ones.

" John came to our house and went over the legal part of it thoroughly and quickly, but he always made it more about us. I would recommend them to anybody because they’re going to make sure that you’re protected. It just always felt like we were dealing with family instead of a legal process."

Getting the Legal Perspective on Car Accidents – Audio Interview

Car accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs — The Hammer — sat down to address legal and safety considerations when injured from a car crash in a recent radio episode of “Ask The Hammer,” the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. There are many elements at play when knowing what to do after a car accident. Listen to the episode directly below.

Our Attorneys Can Assist With a Variety of Truck Accident Injuries

There is usually no such thing as a “minor fender bender” involving a large truck. In a truck accident, smaller vehicles and their occupants are more likely to suffer extensive damages and severe injuries. In fact, according to the National Safety Council (NSC), 71 percent of large-truck accident fatalities are passenger vehicle occupants.

Our attorneys can help if you or your loved one sustained a serious or fatal injury, including:

Head injuries
Whiplash
Severe cuts or bruising
Back or neck injuries
Spinal injuries
Facial injuries
Broken, fractured, or crushed bones
Internal organ damage or bleeding
Loss of a limb

Our Lawyers Will Pursue Compensation From the At-Fault Party

We know how important your physical health and financial stability are to you. Therefore, we will work tirelessly to help you get the money you need to treat your injuries and compensate you for your losses. This may include awards for:

Medical care – Including doctor bills, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, medical equipment, and long-term and in-home health care
Lost wages – Including your back pay and loss of future earning capacity if you cannot return to work
Pain and suffering – Including awards for depression, scarring and disfigurement, paralysis, stress, mental anguish, loss of sleep, physical pain, and the inability to enjoy life in the same way as before your accident
Vehicle damages – Including vehicle repairs or the fair market value of your totaled car
Miscellaneous expenses – Including household services, transportation, and rental car fees, medical travel expenses, and any other out-of-pocket costs related to your accident

We can help you recover these damages via an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. You must pursue a lawsuit within the window allotted in Indiana’s statute of limitations. According to IC § 34-11-2-4, in general, you have two years to file suit. Waiting too long could affect your chance of securing a fair settlement.

Indiana Wrongful Death Cases

Some states allow family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit; however, a representative of the deceased’s estate must pursue action in Indiana. The estate can recover awards for medical treatment and funeral and burial expenses. Surviving family members may recover additional awards depending on their relationship to the deceased.

The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death case is usually two years from your family member’s time of death, according to IC § 34-23-2-1. If your loved one suffered a fatal injury, our accident lawyers can tell you more about seeking justice on their behalf.

Truck Accident Causes and Liability

You should not have to suffer the financial burden of an accident you did not cause. Our team can investigate your truck accident and determine who is liable for your injuries. This could be the truck driver, the trucking company, the entity responsible for the cargo, or another negligent party.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

- Making an improper turn
- Drinking and driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs
