Lafayette is an hour down I-65 from Merrillville, which makes it an easy drive for a meeting or a hearing. Purdue, the Subaru plant, and the I-65 corridor give Tippecanoe County a crash profile unlike anywhere else in the state. 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 Tippecanoe County for the parts that need us there: depositions, mediation, and trial.
I-65 between Lafayette and the Lake County line is one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Indiana for truck crashes, and State Road 26 and U.S. 52 through the city add the local collisions. Purdue brings pedestrian, bicycle, and scooter cases, and students hurt in Lafayette are often covered by a parent’s auto policy back home; we find that coverage. Tippecanoe County cases are filed at the courthouse on Main Street and we appear there as needed.
Where Lafayette cases are filed: Tippecanoe Superior Court at the Tippecanoe County Courthouse in downtown Lafayette.
Hospitals we work with for Lafayette clients: IU Health Arnett Hospital, Franciscan Health Lafayette East. We request records and bills directly so you are not chasing them.
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes; pedestrian and bicycle collisions; slip and fall and premises liability; dog bites; wrongful death; catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury; and uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims against your own insurer.
Our demand packages are litigation-grade: a full medical chronology, a causation analysis that confronts the gaps and pre-existing conditions the adjuster will raise, and a damages model that separates medical specials, lost wages, and future care from pain and suffering. Adjusters value cases higher when the file in front of them is ready for a courtroom.
Health insurers, Medicare, Medicaid, and hospitals often assert liens against a settlement. We identify every lien, audit it for errors, and negotiate reductions so that the money you receive at the end is as large as possible.
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 personal injury cases settle before trial. But insurers pay more to firms that are prepared to try the case, and we are.
It depends on your medical treatment, lost income, the permanence of the injury, available insurance, and fault. We will give you an honest assessment after reviewing your records, not a number designed to get you to sign.
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.
