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 result in your claim being denied entirely.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance companies operate as businesses with financial objectives that may not align with your recovery needs. Their adjusters are professionally trained to minimize payouts and may use tactics like pressuring you for recorded statements, offering quick settlements before you understand your injuries’ full extent, or disputing the severity of your damages.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
In Indiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is strictly enforced, and missing it means permanently losing your right to compensation. Early legal representation helps preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and prevent costly mistakes while dealing with insurance companies.

The Hard Truth
Indiana Car Accident Statistics That Demand Action
When we talk about car accidents in Indiana, we’re addressing a crisis that touches thousands of Hoosier lives every year. As your advocates in the fight for justice, Keller & Keller believes you deserve to know the sobering facts behind our mission.
Indiana crashes result in a concerning fatality rate of 14.1 deaths per 100,000 population, significantly higher than the national average of 12.8. This represents hundreds of preventable deaths each year, with many more thousands of injuries that forever change families across the state. This higher-than-average fatality rate means Indiana drivers face greater risks on the road, making experienced legal representation even more critical when accidents occur.
Fatal crashes involving speeding increased to 253 in 2022 from 228 in 2021, despite speed-related collisions decreasing. This troubling trend shows that while fewer speed-related crashes occur, those that do happen are becoming more deadly, emphasizing the need for experienced legal representation when these preventable tragedies strike. Our attorneys have seen firsthand how speed-related crashes devastate families and require aggressive legal action to hold reckless drivers accountable.
Despite Indiana’s 2020 hands-free law, 85 distracted drivers were involved in fatal crashes in 2022, up from 68 in 2021. The increase in distracted driving fatalities shows that legal changes alone aren’t enough—we need strong legal advocates to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure justice for victims.

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from relatively minor to catastrophic. Understanding these injuries and their potential long-term impact is crucial for your claim
Compensation Available for Indiana Car Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a car 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 lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Home modification expenses
- In-home care costs
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
Wrongful death claims in Indiana are governed by specific statutes and are handled separately from the decedent’s probate estate. Damages are meant to compensate surviving family members for their losses and can include things like lost future earnings, medical and funeral costs, loss of companionship, and even grief counseling. The type and amount of damages available depend on who the deceased was—whether a child, an adult with dependents, or an elderly person—as Indiana law treats each category differently.
