Indiana Semi Truck Minivan Accident

Attorney Fred Pritzker and Attorney Eric Hageman have years of experience handling truck accident cases and are the lead attorneys for our semi truck and motorcycle, car, bus, pedestrian cases. In the video below, Eric discusses a recent $2,560,000 settlement he and Fred negotiated for clients whose car was sideswiped by a semi truck. Contact our law firm.

Results vary for each truck accident case depending on the facts, the experience of the personal injury lawyer, insurance policy limits, how quickly legal counsel was contacted and other factors.

Indiana Semi Truck Minivan Accident Lawsuit Venue

Where your lawsuit is filed (venue) depends on the facts of your Indiana semi truck van accident. The options may include state or federal court, the state where the truck driver resides, the state where the trucking company is based, the state where the trailer is from or the state where the accident occurred (in this case, Indiana). These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

The Indiana Supreme Court is the exclusive interpreter of the law. The route to the Supreme Court begins in the local trial courts. Whenever the trial court has come to a conclusion on all the issues in a case, the parties to the dispute must determine whether they should accept the decision or exercise the right to appeal to a higher court. The present Court is served by a Chief Justice and four Associate Justices.

The United States District Court Southern District of Indiana is divided into the following divisions: Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Evansville and New Albany and the United States District Court Northern District of Indiana is divided into three divisions: Fort Wayne, South Bend and Hammond (with a sub-office in Lafayette).

Trucking Company Insurance

Interstate trucking companies are required to have insurance to cover accidents in Indiana involving bodily injury and wrongful death. It is the insurance adjuster's job to deny, delay and minimize payments to victims. Our job as attorneys is to get them to pay victims and their families necessary compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.

Below is a partial list of insurance companies that may be involved in your Indiana accident:

Ace American Insurance Co.
Starr Indemnity & Liability Insurance Company
Protective Insurance Co.
Factory Mutual Insurance Company
National Interstate Insurance Company
ARCH Insurance Company
Zurich American Insurance Company
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Gemini Insurance Company
General Insurance Company of America
Old Republic Insurance Co.
Discover Property and Casualty Insurance Co.
SAFECO Insurance Company of America
National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

The insurance generally covers an accident with a car, motorcycle, bicycle, bus, minivan, SUV or other vehicle. The designated investigator has already started to collect evidence to defend or minimize the claim. In addition, the trucking company may attempt to steer you away from legal counsel, because trucking companies know that if you have a personal injury semi truck attorney, you are more likely to receive a larger settlement.

We highly recommend that you do not discuss your commercial truck accident with anyone unless you have attorney representation, as anything you say may be used against you later. Also, if the insurance company offers you a settlement, you should speak to an experienced truck accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.
