What you should do after a rollover
Get medical care right away after a rollover, and follow up even if your injuries seem minor at first. Keep records of your treatment, bills, and missed work. You can also ask St. Joseph County Police for the crash report number and review these steps to take after an Indiana traffic accident.
If you were a passenger, report the crash to your own auto insurer if you have one. Be careful about giving a recorded statement before you understand your options. This guide explains what to consider when an insurance adjuster requests a recorded statement or medical release.
Why the location and available insurance matter
This crash happened at Birch Road and McKinley Highway near Osceola in St. Joseph County, and St. Joseph County Police are investigating. A civil case would usually be filed in the county where the crash happened or where a defendant lives.
When several people are hurt in one vehicle, the available insurance may need to be shared among them. An injured passenger may need to examine several possible insurance policies. Underinsured motorist coverage under Indiana Code 27-7-5-2[3] may help when the driver's coverage is not enough, depending on the policy.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[4]. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent recovers nothing; otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[5]. No agency has announced findings on cause or fault.
