Indianapolis Auto Accident Lawyers

Your whole world can change in an instant when you get injured in a car or trucking accident.

A collision at any speed causes your body to experience a surge of adrenalin, stress, and tension often causing disorientation and injury. This is usually followed by weeks, months, or even years of medical treatment. As you try to recover from your injuries, insurance companies will contact you frequently in an attempt to get you to settle quickly, sometimes before you even know the full extent of your injuries.

Thousands of Indiana drivers are involved in auto accidents every year, resulting in serious physical injuries, worsening health issues, permanent disabilities, and even death. According to the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey, over 90% of accidents are caused by negligent drivers while less than 10% are caused by external factors like defective vehicles or environmental factors. When a driver’s negligence leads to an accident, insurance companies come to the defense of their insured drivers and work to minimize the impact of your injuries.

These companies have a streamlined process that focuses on saving them as much money as possible.

When negotiating on your own, insurance companies are more likely to make low offers to only pay your actual bills without considering your pain, suffering, and time put into your recovery. Like any for-profit business, insurance companies want to keep costs down for their shareholders, even if that means stepping on the victims of negligent driving.

The seasoned staff at Lohmeier Law LLC will record, track, and monitor all the information related to your injuries and treatment so you don’t have to.

This is just one of the many scenarios where having a lawyer will help you.
