What Should Accident Victims Do Next?
If you were injured in an intersection crash, obtain medical care, preserve photographs and witness information, request the police report, and keep records of treatment and expenses. The investigating agency’s crash report can usually be obtained after the investigation, but a police report does not determine civil liability. This guide explains how to obtain an Indiana police crash report.
Avoid guessing about fault while the investigation remains incomplete. Photographs, witness accounts, medical records, and other evidence may help explain what happened. You can review a practical overview of evidence used in an Indiana car accident claim.
Why Location Matters in Indiana Injury Claims
The reported intersection is in Evansville, in Vanderburgh County, and the Evansville Police Department responded. That affects where records may be obtained and where a claim may proceed.
Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[2] generally provides two years for a personal injury action. Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[3] applies comparative fault. If an injured person’s fault is greater than 50 percent, that person recovers nothing. Otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person’s percentage of fault.
