Car crashes cause serious personal injury. Injuries such as broken bones, brain injury, paralysis and amputations leave the injured person either unable to communicate or unclear in their thinking. The first thing to try and do at a collision scene is to stay calm. If you are seriously injured, do not worry about anything but your health. Follow the instructions of the emergency aid providers and let the police investigate the rest of the claim.

If you are a witness to someone being injured or are injured yourself it is important to get photographs or video of the scene of the injury at the time or as near the time of the event as possible.

 A few days ago we wrote about the dangers of distracted driving.  In that discussion we talked about texting and driving.  Well, one of our own brought home the importance of the discussion yesterday. Lucas Harrison of Richmond just had to get that last text out.  He was driving his car in Richmond, and texting [...]

Often when someone is injured in a crash or by some other method as a result of someone’s negligence the insurance carrier for the party at fault will come in early and offer a small settlement in exchange for signing a “release”.  An injured person who signs the release gives up all of their rights [...]

The roads are not reserved for the two four wheel variety of transportation. Now that the warm months are upon us, we are seeing more bicycles and motorcycles sharing our roads.  This recognition is the first essential in helping to protect our two wheeled Hoosiers.  Cyclist are not generally as visible as a car.  So, [...]

Yesterday, I was coming back to our serious injury offices in Indianapolis, from Richmond.  We just concluded a significant hearing. I was travelling west on I-70 near the Keystone interchange (Mile marker 83.5, just east of the I-65-I-70 split). At that location, I-70 is five lanes wide.  I was in the second lane from the [...]

We have spoken of them in the past, retention ponds.  You see them in every new development.  They are ponds purposely placed by builders to control water flow and flooding.  Sometimes they are attractive and sometimes they are scars in the ground, but always they are dangerous. Several months ago a teenager, leaving a party [...]

 The hot weather is now upon us.  As I was walking my dogs yesterday, I heard the screams of delight as the first day of the pool season began.  I could remember my own excitement at being the first one in, when I could first touch the drain in the deep end, and the first [...]

As your Indiana Serious Injury Attorneys, I spend a lot of time thinking about safety.  I come by it honestly, my dad was Indiana’s Serious Injury Lawyer, the go to guy for 60 years.  Around our dinner table and in our lives we heard a lot about things that nobody else seemed to be talking [...]

Construction is one of the most dangerous professions in the United States.  The opportunity for injuries from falls from heights (such as from a ladder, scaffold or even through a floor hole), from heavy equipment, trench collapses, electrocution, explosions, objects falling from height and many others.   We send our thoughts and prayers to the family [...]

I was reading in the paper today about a hit and run collision which caused the wrongful death of one Hoosier and seriously injured another.  Apparently David Smith and Jason Pedigo were hit by a ford traveling east on Morris Street.  Mr. Smith was killed.  There is some indication that that two men were walking [...]

As Indiana serious injury lawyers, we tend to see dangers exposed that were not really obvious just before the injury occurs.  We represent seriously injured Hoosiers all over the state from our Indianapolis offices.  Over the last 57 years we have come to understand that safety does not necessarily meet the eye.  Take for instance [...]
