What should accident victims do next?
Get medical care and follow up with your own doctor. Cyclists struck by vehicles can have injuries that are not obvious at first.
Keep the bicycle, helmet, and clothing as they are. These items may help show how the crash happened. You can also review guidance about evidence that may support an Indiana accident claim.
Request a copy of the crash report from the investigating agency. The report can usually be obtained after the investigation, but it is not a determination of civil liability. This guide explains how to obtain an Indiana crash report.
Indiana bicyclists may have access to uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under their own auto policy, depending on its terms. Check the policy carefully, and use caution before giving a recorded statement to another driver's insurer. You can learn more about recorded statements and medical releases after an Indiana accident.
Why location matters in Indiana injury claims
This crash happened in the 4400 block of E. County Road 350 South near Rochester, in Fulton County. A civil case arising from the crash would ordinarily be filed in Fulton County or where a defendant lives.
Indiana's general two-year limitations period for injury claims appears in Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Under Indiana's modified comparative fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault and barred if your share is more than 50 percent.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is governed by Ind. Code 27-7-5-2. Depending on the policy, this coverage may be available after a bicycle crash. If the injured person is under 18, Ind. Code 34-11-6-1 can affect when the limitations period begins to run.
