Keep medical records, bills, and notes about missed work. Additional guidance is available in this overview of evidence that may support an Indiana car accident claim.

Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This crash happened at East Old Road 30 and North County Road 650 East near Pierceton, in Kosciusko County, and the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office handled the report. A civil case would ordinarily be filed in Kosciusko County or where a defendant lives.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[2]. Under Indiana's modified comparative-fault rule, Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[3], recovery is reduced by the injured person's share of fault and barred if that share is more than 50 percent. In passing and left-turn crashes, each driver's actions may be closely compared. A police report can provide useful information, but it does not determine civil liability.
