What should accident victims do next?
If you are involved in a rear-end crash, get checked by a doctor even if you initially feel fine. Neck and back injuries can take a day or more to show symptoms. Keep your treatment records, bills and documentation of missed work. This Indiana traffic accident checklist explains other practical steps.
Ask the Milford Police Department for the crash report number, and keep any photos of the vehicles and scene. You can also review how to obtain an Indiana crash report. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before you understand your options.
Why location matters in Indiana injury claims
This crash happened on State Road 15 north of County Road 1350 North near Milford, in Kosciusko County, and the Milford Police Department responded. A civil case would usually be filed in the county where the crash happened or where a defendant lives or does business.
Chain-reaction crashes can raise questions about how fault is shared among several drivers. Indiana divides fault among those involved under Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[2]. An injured person's recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault, and a person found more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover. The firm's guide to Indiana's 51 percent fault rule provides more general information.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[3]. The deadline can be hotly contested, so you should not assume that waiting is safe.
