What you should do after an intersection crash
At a signalized intersection, treat a yellow light as a signal to stop when you can do so safely. When your light turns green, pause briefly and look for traffic before entering the intersection. During evening driving, leave extra space and limit distractions.
If you are hurt, get appropriate medical care and keep your records together. You can also request the investigating agency’s crash report. A police report can help document what officers recorded, but it does not determine civil liability. This guide explains how to obtain an Indiana crash report and what information you may need.
Photos, witness information, medical records, repair estimates and insurance communications may become important if fault or the extent of an injury is disputed. You can review a practical list of evidence that may support an Indiana car accident claim.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This crash happened at a state highway intersection within Warsaw, in Kosciusko County, and the Warsaw Police Department took the report. When an injury claim arises from a crash, it is usually filed in the county where the crash happened or where a defendant lives.
Indiana’s modified comparative-fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, divides responsibility among the people involved. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, the recovery is reduced by that person’s percentage of fault. The insurer’s initial fault decision is not necessarily final, particularly when an intersection crash is hotly contested. A plain-language explanation of Indiana’s 51 percent fault rule can help you understand the basic framework.
Indiana requires minimum auto liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage, under Ind. Code 9-25-4-5. Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Waiting can also make it harder to preserve records, video and other evidence.
