Fighting for Northwest Indiana's Injured and Accused

Dedicated Crown Point Car Accident Lawyers Fighting For Your Recovery

Crown Point’s historic square and quiet neighborhoods offer a tranquil setting. However, the surrounding roads, especially the busy corridors of U.S. 231 and I-65, are a different story. Suddenly, a collision can shatter your peace, leaving you with serious injuries and a confusing legal battle. You don’t have to face this challenge alone. At Harper and Harper, LLC, we are ready to stand by your side and fight for the justice you deserve.

Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

Every day, careless actions on the road lead to serious collisions, from rear-end fender benders to catastrophic head-on crashes. We are experienced in handling a wide range of cases, including:

  • Distracted driving, including texting and using a phone
  • Reckless driving, such as speeding and tailgating
  • Drunk or impaired driving

Often, many worry about what happens if they are partially at fault for the crash. In Indiana, the law follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means that you can still recover damages as long as your fault is 50% or less. As your accident attorneys, we will build a strong case to show the other party’s full liability and minimize your responsibility.

Understanding Your Right To Compensation

A car accident can cause a wide range of physical and emotional injuries. We commonly see people suffer from:

  • Neck, back and spinal cord injuries, such as whiplash and herniated discs
  • Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries
  • Bone and tissue damage, such as fractures, soft tissue injuries and lacerations

In the most tragic situations, a crash may result in wrongful death.

When a collision causes these kinds of harm, the law provides a path to seek financial recovery. You can pursue compensation for all your losses, including:

  • Medical and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost income and lost future earnings
  • Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Property damage to your vehicle

Future medical expenses and lost earnings are not just simple calculations. They require a detailed projection of your long-term needs. That’s why we work with medical professionals and financial experts to calculate the full impact of your injuries. This allows us to make sure that your compensation covers your needs for years to come.

After a vehicle crash, you may find yourself overwhelmed by insurance adjusters and complex paperwork. A lawyer will protect your rights from day one. At Harper and Harper, LLC, we can help you:

  • Manage all communication with insurance companies
  • Negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf
  • Make sure your case is filed within Indiana’s two-year statute of limitations
  • Gather evidence to prove fault and damages

A particularly frightening situation is being involved in a hit-and-run crash. You may be wondering how a car accident lawyer can help you if the at-fault driver is unknown. We can work with law enforcement to try and locate the driver. In addition, we can help you file a claim against your own uninsured motorist policy, which is often the only path to recovery in these cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will my Crown Point car accident case be heard?

Because Crown Point is in Lake County, most Crown Point car accident lawsuits are filed in the Lake County Superior Court Civil Division, sitting in Crown Point, East Chicago, Gary or Hammond. Most claims settle before trial, but if your case is filed and proceeds, it would be heard in that court's civil division.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Indiana?

Indiana's statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Shorter notice deadlines can apply when a government vehicle or entity is involved, so it is wise to have your claim reviewed promptly.

What should I do after a car accident in Crown Point?

Call the police and get a report, then seek medical care right away -- even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash and concussions can have delayed symptoms. Photograph the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and avoid giving a recorded statement to their insurer before speaking with an attorney.

Do I need a local Crown Point car accident lawyer?

Local knowledge helps. Familiarity with Crown Point's high-traffic corridors like U.S. 231 and Interstate 65, and with the Lake County courts, allows us to reconstruct how your crash happened and present your claim effectively.

What if the driver who hit me was uninsured or fled the scene?

If the at-fault driver has no insurance, too little insurance, or flees in a hit-and-run, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation. We review every policy that could apply so a careless or unidentified driver does not leave you covering the costs.
