Indianapolis has more crashes than any city in Indiana, and the two Level I trauma centers that treat the worst of them. We represent Indianapolis clients the same way we represent clients in Merrillville: by phone, video, and in person when it matters, with the case filed and tried in Marion County. Our Merrillville office is at 8002 Utah Street, Merrillville, IN 46410, and you can reach it at (219) 472-8391. Most of an injury case is handled by phone, email, and video, and we travel to Marion County for the parts that need us there: depositions, mediation, and trial.
I-465 and the north split, the I-65/I-70 interchange downtown, and the arterials around the airport are the corridors that fill Methodist and Eskenazi. Indianapolis injury cases are defended by the largest insurance defense firms in the state, which is a reason to have a firm that prepares every file for trial. We travel to Indianapolis for depositions, mediations, and hearings; the rest of the case runs by phone and secure document sharing, as most of our cases already do.
Where Indianapolis cases are filed: Marion Superior Court, Civil Division, at the Community Justice Campus in Indianapolis.
Hospitals we work with for Indianapolis clients: IU Health Methodist Hospital, Eskenazi Health, Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis, Community Hospital East, North, and South. We request records and bills directly so you are not chasing them.
A commercial truck crash is not a bigger car crash. The trucking company, its insurer, and often a rapid-response team are investigating within hours, sometimes before the police report is written. Evidence that matters most, including electronic logging device data, engine control module downloads, driver qualification files, hours-of-service records, and dash-cam footage, can be lost or overwritten unless a preservation demand goes out quickly.
Liability may extend well beyond the driver: the motor carrier, the owner of the trailer, a broker that hired an unqualified carrier, a shipper that overloaded the cargo, or a maintenance contractor. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations set the standard of care, and violations of those rules are powerful evidence of negligence.
We send spoliation letters immediately, retain accident reconstruction and trucking-safety experts where the case warrants it, obtain the carrier’s FMCSA safety history, and depose the driver and the company’s safety director. Commercial policies carry much higher limits than personal auto policies, and we pursue every layer of coverage.
Most injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury (Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4). If a city, county, or state agency is involved, a tort claim notice may be required within 180 days. The sooner you call, the more evidence we can preserve.

Most Indianapolis injury cases are filed in Marion Superior Court, Civil Division, at the Community Justice Campus in Indianapolis. We appear there for hearings, depositions, and trial, and work with local counsel when a case calls for it.
No. The consultation, the paperwork, and the negotiation are handled by phone, email, and video. We come to Marion County when the case needs us in person.
As soon as you are medically able. Trucking companies begin building their defense immediately, and key electronic evidence can be overwritten within days or weeks.
In most cases, yes. Employers are responsible for their drivers, and carriers have independent duties for hiring, training, maintenance, and hours-of-service compliance.
Five minutes on the phone and you will know where you stand. You will not owe us a fee unless we recover money for you, and the bills get handled before the check does.
