Navigating Complex
Legal Claims

Determining fault, establishing negligence, calculating long-term damages, and interpreting insurance policies requires specialized knowledge. Our lawyers understand these complexities and the unique challenges facing motorcyclists in Indiana courts.

Understanding Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies often operate with built-in biases against motorcyclists, viewing them as reckless risk-takers rather than victims of negligent drivers. Without proper legal representation, you risk accepting settlements that don’t reflect the true impact of your injuries.

Understanding Statute of Limitations

Time is not on your side after a motorcycle accident. Indiana has deadlines for filing personal injury claims—typically two years from the date of the accident. Missing these deadlines means forfeiting your right to compensation permanently. Our motorcycle accident lawyers ensure all paperwork is filed correctly and on time.

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: File an official police report. This is crucial for your case, especially since police may have their own biases about motorcycle 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 bystanders involved.
  6. Report to Insurance: Notify your insurance company about the accident.
  7. Preserve Gear: Keep your helmet, jacket, and other protective equipment as evidence of the impact and your safety-conscious approach
  8. Keep Records: Save all medical bills, repair estimates, and accident-related documents.
  9. Avoid Recorded Statements: Politely decline insurance adjuster requests for comment.
  10. Steer Clear of Social Media: Refrain from posting your accident on social accounts.
  11. Call Keller & Keller Immediately: The sooner we start working, the better we can protect your interests and counter unfair stereotypes

Types of Motorcycle Accidents We Handle

Our extensive experience covers all types of motorcycle accidents throughout Indiana, each with unique challenges and considerations:

The Hard Truth

Indiana Motorcycle Accident Statistics & Data

116
Fatalities among motorcyclists in 2022 made up 15% of all Indiana traffic deaths.

Indiana recorded 116 motorcyclist deaths in 2022, representing 15% of all traffic fatalities despite motorcycles comprising less than 2% of total crashes. 66% of these fatalities involved riders not wearing helmets—a direct result of Indiana’s limited helmet law requiring only riders under 18 to wear protection.

28x
More likely to die per mile traveled — that’s the risk motorcyclists face compared to car occupants

Motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die per mile traveled than car occupants. The injury rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled for motorcycles is 421 compared to just 103 for passenger cars—a four-fold difference that highlights the devastating vulnerability motorcyclists face.

71%

Compensation Available for Indiana Motorcycle Accident Victims

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to various types of compensation:

Economic Damages

These are quantifiable financial losses, including:

  • Medical expenses (past, current, and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage to your motorcycle
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Home modification expenses

Non-Economic Damages

These more subjective damages compensate for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disfigurement and scarring
  • Loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship)

Punitive Damages

In rare cases involving extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct, Indiana courts may award punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.

Wrongful Death Damages

When motorcycle accidents result in fatalities, surviving family members may recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering of their loved one before death.
