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 your car is not on fire, or if you are no longer in immediate danger, while in your car, do not move. Your body is in shock as a result of the crash.Your pulse is up, your blood pressure is up, your thoughts are not carefully ordered. Your body’s response to the impact may by, and probably is, masked by the shock condition.

I read in the paper today about the death of Ross Faris, the owner of Your Neighbor’s Garden, and former executive at Lilly. Immediately upon reading the piece, I was taken back to driving along Grandview Drive and seeing the little self help stand. It is one of those little “summer in Indy” memories that will always bring a smile to my face.

Why does the State of Indiana require that there be minimum insurance? As your Indiana Serious personal Injury lawyer, we see firsthand the kinds of harm car accidents can cause. It does not matter if the crash is a drunk driving accident or a highway accident. These harms, including brain injury, broken bones, spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis or amputation, can interfere with any Hoosiers ability to earn a living and enjoy their life.

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.

It is a common headline, but when it is somebody famous the point is publicized more. “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn died in a fiery car crash in suburban Philadelphia early Monday morning. Of the more shocking details of this crash include that Mr. Dunn texted a picture of himself drinking not long before the crash, [...]

Serious Injury Lawyer Revisits Bicycle Safety

June 9, 2011 | Comments Off

Again, I was riding my bike to work today.  A part of my route gives me two options.  Neither option has bike lanes. The first option is to ride south on Pennsylvania Street from 16th street to Ohio.  Pennsylvania is a one way south with four lanes and is a busy artery into the city [...]

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 are Indiana Serious Injury Attorneys.  A big part of what we do is help seriously injured Hoosiers obtain fair compensation for the injuries caused by negligent Hoosiers.  A large portion of those injuries were caused by what we always refer to as drunk drivers.

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 [...]

 This week, Justice Holifield, a 13 year old student at Harshman Middle School in Indianapolis, along with other students decided to ride with their teacher, Kyle Bieda, to the store to pick up some necessary items for their participation in a band contest.  The trip was innocent, no allegations of the type we are used [...]
