FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS COULD LEAD TO CIVIL CLAIMS IN INDIANA

On behalf of Rob King & Associates, Trial Lawyers posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, April 30, 2015.

Most individuals know that the areas around a roadway can be dangerous for pedestrians or other individuals not in a vehicle. However, there are some instances in which a driver may need to pull to the side of the road in order to check on the vehicle or take care of some other issue. Unfortunately, passing vehicles can pose a considerable risk, and car accidents could occur.

A recent accident in Indiana left one individual with fatal injuries. It was reported that a man was driving an SUV and hauling a trailer. At some point, he stopped on the side of the road and exited his SUV in order to check on the trailer. While he was outside the vehicle, another vehicle collided with the trailer. The collision caused the driver to become stuck between the median and the vehicles.

The driver of the SUV suffered fatal injuries as a result of the accident. The driver of the other vehicle was transported from the scene in critical condition. It was not clear whether any charges would be filed in relation to the accident, but the situation should continue to be investigated in order to determine what may have caused in the crash.

Fatal car accidents can be difficult to understand, and it is important that all factors that could have played a role are considered. The family of the deceased victim are surely saddened by their unexpected loss, and they may wonder how they will move on from the tragic event. If they wish, gathering information on filing a wrongful death claim in Indiana may help them determine whether pursuing a civil claim would be a step they wish to take.

INDIANA ACCIDENT LEADS TO POSSIBLE BRAIN INJURY

On behalf of Rob King & Associates, Trial Lawyers posted in Brain Injury on Wednesday, April 15, 2015.

When individuals are involved in a serious car accident, there is a considerable risk of severe injuries. If an individual suffers an injury to his or her head, there could be a chance that a brain injury could also result. Such an injury could cause an individual to face considerable hardships while recovering, including medical expenses. In the event of such a situation, an injured party may wish to consider seeking compensation.

Such a step may be taken after a serious car accident that recently took place in Indiana. It was reported that a car was traveling south when it failed to maintain the correct lane and crossed into the northbound lane. As a result, the car collided with an SUV traveling north. The collision caused the SUV to leave the roadway and come to a rest in a ditch.

The driver of the car was the only occupant, and the SUV had a driver and one passenger inside. All three individuals had to the removed from the vehicles. Both drivers were transported to the hospital for injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. The passenger in the SUV suffered a serious head injury and was also transported for treatment.

The injury to the passenger’s head could potentially mean that she also suffered a brain injury. If that is the case, the Indiana car accident could have even more devastating consequences. Such injuries can take time for recovery, and medical bills can accumulate during that time. If the injured parties wish, they may be able to file personal injury claims against the driver considered at fault in order to pursue restitution for their pain and suffering, medical expenses and other allowable damages.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CAUSES CRITICAL INJURIES IN INDIANA

On behalf of Rob King & Associates, Trial Lawyers posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Wednesday, April 1, 2015.

Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, can be difficult for other travelers to see. As a result, numerous motorcycle accidents happen due to vehicles pulling out in front of motorcyclists. A motorcycle accident can cause severe injuries, and individuals can in turn face financial issues resulting from the damages incurred in the accident. The issues may relate to medical bills or even funeral arrangements if an individual suffered fatal injuries.

Two women in Indiana may soon be facing financial struggles due to medical bills after they were involved in a serious accident. It was reported that both women were on a motorcycle when a minivan making a left turn pulled out in front of them. As a result, the motorcycle collided with the minivan, and the women rolled multiple times across the pavement.

Both women were transported from the scene and are said to be in critical condition. The driver of the minivan remained on the scene and reportedly told officers that she did not see the motorcycle before attempting the turn. It was not mentioned whether any charges may stem from the serious accident.

Because the motorcycle accident led to both individuals suffering critical injuries, it is likely that they will need an extended period of time to recover. As a result, they may face an accumulation of medical bills associated with their treatments. Because medical expenses can become overwhelming, the injured parties may want to look into personal injury claims. Such claims could allow for the motorcyclists to work toward gaining compensation for damages permitted under Indiana law.
