Indianapolis Passenger Injuries Attorney

If you were a passenger or had a child that was in a vehicle involved in an accident where injuries were sustained, you are entitled to receive compensation. As a passenger, you have a claim against the driver of the vehicle you were riding in, as well as the drivers of any other vehicles involved in the crash. My name is Steve Willsey, and for over two decades I have been representing passengers and children in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area that have been injured and need legal assistance.

Indiana Passenger Injuries Lawyer

If you were a passenger in an accident or are the parent of a child who was in an accident, it is important that you obtain all the necessary information at the scene of the accident. In these cases it is urgent that measures be taken quickly to preserve evidence, to conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, and to ensure you or your child receive the medical care you need to recover from your injuries. You or your child will generally not be at fault for causing an accident unless something was done intentionally to cause the accident. Typically, immediate family members are protected from a lawsuit unless there was gross negligence on their part.

I assist passengers and children with their accident and injury legal claims in many areas, including the following:

• Car accidents
• Trucking accidents
• Trucking company liability
• Motorcycle accidents
• Injured by a drunk driver
• Uninsured/underinsured motorists
• Wrongful death
• Traumatic injuries

Understanding Passenger Injury Claims in Indiana

Passengers injured in motor vehicle accidents have the right to seek compensation for their injuries. However, Indiana's Guest Statute can affect claims involving family members. Under this statute, passengers cannot file claims against a driver who is a parent, spouse, child, stepchild, or sibling unless the driver exhibited willful or wanton misconduct.

It's essential to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to navigate these legal complexities and determine your eligibility for compensation.

Protecting Injured Children in Car Accidents

Children are particularly vulnerable in car accidents, and their injuries can have long-term consequences. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

• Spinal Cord Injuries

• Fractures and Broken Bones

• Emotional Trauma

Attorney Willsey understands the unique considerations in cases involving injured children and works diligently to ensure they receive the compensation needed for their recovery and future well-being.

Steps to Take After an Accident

1. Seek Medical Attention: Ensure that all injured parties receive prompt medical care.

2. Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.

3. Gather Information: Collect contact and insurance information from all drivers involved, as well as contact details for any witnesses.

Consult an Attorney: Contact Attorney Steven E. Willsey to discuss your case and explore your legal options.
