Why Get Help from an Indianapolis Car Accident Attorney?

If you have never been involved in a car accident before, you may not know how to file an insurance claim or seek damages through a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. At the same time, you may face expensive medical treatment, loss of income and many other difficulties brought on by your injuries. The situation can quickly become overwhelming. This is where a lawyer can help you.

When you work with the Law Office of Kelley J. Johnson after your car accident:

• You won’t have to deal with the insurance company. We will handle all communications with the insurance company, including presenting a demand for a full and fair settlement of your claim. If an insurance company contacts you, asks for a recorded statement and/or makes a settlement offer, you can simply tell the insurer to call our law firm. Unfortunately, many insurance companies try to take advantage of people who are not represented by a lawyer. You need an advocate in your corner.
• You can concentrate on your recovery. Our legal team includes an attorney with more than 15 years of litigation experience and a skilled and dedicated litigation paralegal and legal assistant. You can focus on getting the medical treatment and rehabilitation you need for your injuries. Meanwhile, we will thoroughly investigate your car crash, review your medical records, consult with experts and prepare your case for settlement negotiations and, if necessary, a trial.
• You won’t be left in the dark about your case. Our law firm handles a limited number of auto accident cases because we want to ensure that every one of our clients receives true personal service. We will work closely with you throughout your case and pursue a result that addresses the specific physical, emotional and financial harm that you have suffered. We will always advise you of any settlement offers that you receive, update you about your case’s progress, return your calls and promptly answer your questions.
• You will pay no upfront costs and fees. We will advance all case-related expenses, and we will not charge you any legal fees unless we secure a settlement or judgment for you. This is known as a contingency fee agreement. If we obtain a financial recovery for you, our legal fee will reflect a percentage of that recovery.

When you talk with us about your car accident in a free consultation, we can address questions you may have about getting your car repaired or replaced and paying your medical bills while your case is pending. We can also discuss how long your car accident case may take and what you can expect at different stages in the process.

Our car accident attorney in Indianapolis works hard to hold negligent drivers accountable and seek all compensation that our clients are eligible to receive. In the process, we investigate the cause of the car accident, identify all potentially liable parties and carefully calculate and document our clients’ losses. We also determine all available sources of compensation, including the at-fault party’s insurance coverage and our clients’ own coverage such as uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) insurance.

The amount of damages that we seek on a client’s behalf varies from case to case and depends on many different factors. Those damages may include:

No two car accidents are the same. They affect people’s lives in unique ways. For this reason, you should not reach any quick conclusions about how much you may recover after a car accident until an experienced personal injury lawyer has carefully reviewed your case first.

Our Indianapolis Car Accident Attorney Is Ready to Help You

Indiana places a limit on how much time you have to file a claim after a car accident. It is called the statute of limitations. You usually have two years from the date of an accident in which to file a personal injury claim and two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death claim. Because of this time limit, you should not delay getting legal help.
