What steps should I take when I have experienced an accident injury in Indianapolis?

Always get medical attention first when you have been injured by someone else's negligence.  Then, as soon as you are able, contact a qualified local personal injury attorney in Indianapolis.  You can help protect your rights and help your lawyer by taking the following steps:

  • Write down every detail about the accident.  Make note of contact information about the negligent party as well as witnesses and all available insurance information.  Obtain a police report, if available, and try to remember statements made by anyone involved so you can write them down.
  • Do not make any written or verbal statements to insurance companies or other claims handlers until you have called your lawyer.  Part of your lawyer's job is to protect your rights.
  • Obtain all possible evidence that proves your injury.  Take pictures of the accident scene and retain any clothing or damaged property that might provide evidence for your case.
