Car Accidents

Life is very precious and you have to protect it. Unfortunately, careless drivers and corporations that put profits before safety make that impossible. As a result, their dangerous acts can cause serious and permanent injuries, physical pain, mental suffering, disabilities, loss of enjoyment of life, substantial medical bills, lost income, or even worse. We hope you're never in that position. But if something happened – call Attorney Dave Cox

At Cox Law Office, Attorney Dave Cox is focused on and dedicated to getting fair and just results for car accident victims and their families.  

In car accident cases, negligence law usually determines who’s liable for damages. In Indiana, drivers must exercise the same care that a reasonable person would exercise under similar circumstances. If a driver failed to exercise that reasonable care and caused damages – he’ll likely owe money to the victims. Also, car accidents can be caused by an auto-manufacturer’s negligence or another party’s negligence.

Car accidents are caused in many ways. But they’re most commonly caused by a careless driver that: (1) drove distracted – which includes: texting, talking on a cell phone, grooming, etc.; (2) tailgating / drove behind someone too closely; (3) disregarded weather conditions; (4) disregarded traffic signals; (5) drove too fast; or (6) drove under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you were injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault – you’re likely owed compensation / money under Indiana law. Negligent drivers can be responsible for damages such as: (1) pain and suffering;  (2) physical impairment; (3) disfigurement; (4) medical expenses; (5) lost wages; (6) lost earning capacity; (7) loss of enjoyment of life; (8) property damage; (9) your vehicle’s diminished value; and (10) possibly other damages you’ve suffered.

The insurance companies’ adjusters are trained and focused on minimizing their company’s liability. In other words, most of them are focused on paying victims as little as possible. Insurance companies are corporations. And they’re primary objective is usually to maximize their shareholders’ profits. So, they collect as much as the market will allow and pay out as little as the law will allow.

Car accident victims are entitled to recover the damages they suffered and will suffer in the future under Indiana law. Generally, there are no mulligans in car accident cases. You generally have one shot at a fair recovery.
