Navigating Complex
Legal Claims

Car accident claims involve complicated legal processes that most people aren’t equipped to handle on their own. Determining fault, establishing negligence, calculating long-term damages, and interpreting insurance policies requires specialized knowledge. Without proper legal representation, you risk making costly mistakes that could reduce your compensation or even result in your claim being denied entirely. Our attorneys know exactly what documentation is needed, what evidence to gather, and how to build a compelling case that demonstrates the full impact of your injuries.

Understanding Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies operate as businesses with financial objectives that may not align with your recovery needs. While their advertising often emphasizes customer service, their financial responsibilities to shareholders can influence how they handle claims. Their adjusters are professionally trained to evaluate cases, which can sometimes result in settlement offers that don’t fully account for your current and future expenses. At Keller & Keller, we’ve seen every trick in the insurance company playbook. Our accident lawyers have decades of experience dealing with major insurance providers and know how to counter these tactics to protect your interests.

Understanding Statute of Limitations

Time is not on your side after a car accident. Each state has strict deadlines—known as statutes of limitations—for filing personal injury claims. In Indiana, Michigan, and New Mexico (the states we serve), these deadlines typically range from two to three years from the date of the accident. Missing these deadlines means forfeiting your right to compensation permanently. Our car accident lawyers ensure all paperwork is filed correctly and on time, preserving your right to seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

What to Do After an Accident

Taking the right steps after a crash can protect both your health and your legal claim.

  1. Ensure Safety: Move to a safe location away from traffic and check for injuries.
  2. Call 911: Immediately file an official police report, even for minor accidents.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: See a doctor right away, as adrenaline can mask serious injuries.
  4. Document Everything: Take photos & videos of injuries, vehicles, the scene, skid marks, road hazard, and collect witness information.
  5. Exchange Information: Collect contact and insurance details from all drivers and parties involved: drivers, passengers, and witnesses.
  6. Report to Insurance: Notify your insurance company about the accident.
  7. Keep Records: Save all medical bills, repair estimates, and accident-related documents.
  8. Avoid Recorded Statements: Politely decline insurance adjuster requests for comment.
  9. Steer Clear of Social Media: Refrain from posting your accident on social accounts.
  10. Contact Keller & Keller Immediately: Early legal representation helps preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and prevent costly mistakes while dealing with insurance companies.

We keep you informed throughout every stage of your claim, explaining what’s happening, what to expect next, and how it affects your case.

With over 80 years of experience fighting accident victims, we’ve built a reputation as battle-tested advocates who know how to win. Our attorneys have successfully handled thousands of cases. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with the biggest insurance companies and won. Our courtroom experience means we’re always prepared to take your case to trial if that’s what it takes to secure fair compensation.

ā€œA huge weight has been lifted off my family’s shoulder!!!ā€

Sierra

After a terrifying wreck and a major surgery, I was in way over my head trying to deal with insurance companies. Sara with Keller & Keller (and the staff I dealt with) made a scary situation seem easy. As of today, I owe nothing and no longer have to worry about losing everything. I couldn’t imagine trying to deal with all of this on my own. Sara took care of everything and kept me updated each step of the way. I highly recommend giving them a call before you try to handle this yourself.

ā€œWorking with Keller & Keller made the process very easy.ā€
