Carmel Car Accidents

The Carmel car accident attorneys at Crossen Law Firm have decades of experience guiding car accident victims through insurance negotiations and, when necessary, litigation under Indiana’s at-fault system.

Carmel Semi-Truck Accidents

A collision with a commercial truck usually leaves the people in the smaller vehicle with the most serious injuries. A Carmel semi truck accident attorney can explain how federal regulations, higher insurance limits, and multiple liable parties make a truck accident claim different from an ordinary crash.

Carmel Motorcycle Accidents

Riders have far less protection than drivers, so the injuries from a motorcycle crash tend to be severe. Our Carmel motorcycle accident attorneys establish what actually happened through evidence and expert inspection, and deal with insurers who too often assume the rider was at fault.

Carmel Pedestrian Accidents

A person struck by a vehicle has no protection at all, and the harm from a pedestrian accident is often life-changing, physically and emotionally. Our Carmel pedestrian accident attorneys handle these claims with the care they require.

Carmel Bicycle Accidents

More people are commuting and exercising by bike, and a bicycle accident with a car is rarely minor for the cyclist. We help injured riders understand fault and shared-fault rules and the deadlines that apply to their claim.

Carmel Medical Malpractice

When treatment by a medical professional causes harm, Indiana’s Medical Malpractice Act sets out a specific process, including a required Medical Review Panel. Our Carmel medical malpractice attorneys can explain how that process applies to your situation.

Carmel Slip and Fall

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. If a hazard caused your fall, our slip and fall attorneys can help you establish the elements a premises liability claim requires.

Carmel Wrongful Death

No legal result can undo the death of a loved one. Our Carmel wrongful death attorneys handle claims under the Indiana Wrongful Death Act so families can focus on grieving while we handle the legal process.

Carmel Workers’ Compensation

If you were hurt on the job, Indiana workers’ compensation benefits may cover your medical care and part of your lost wages. Our workers’ compensation attorney offers a free consultation, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?

If someone else’s carelessness caused your injury in Carmel, Indiana, the surest way to find out whether you have a case is a free consultation. Indiana law allows an injured person to seek compensation from the person, company, or government entity responsible, and starting early makes the evidence easier to preserve.

After an injury, you generally have three paths:

• A claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company
• A lawsuit in court
• A negotiated private settlement out of court

No one can promise an outcome. What you will get from us is an honest assessment of your options and a team that has been doing this work for more than 20 years.

What Kind of Compensation Can Carmel Personal Injury Lawyers Help Me Recover?

Damages in an Indiana personal injury case fall into two broad groups:

• Economic damages - the measurable costs, such as medical bills, lost income, and property damage
• Noneconomic damages - the human costs, such as physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship

We build your claim around both, so your case reflects what the injury actually took from you.

Living in Carmel

Just north of Indianapolis lies the charming city of Carmel, Indiana. It’s not hard to find glowing reviews of this city from its residents, and there’s a reason for that. Not only has Carmel been ranked one of the best cities to live in Indiana, but it has also been named one of the best cities to live in the United States. Carmel has a growing population of around 100,000 people as well as one of the lowest unemployment rates of any city in the country. 

Originally called Bethlehem, Carmel was first settled by the Quakers. Though it has grown substantially to become a larger city, Carmel still holds onto its historical charm. The city prides itself on its Carmel Clay School System which includes eleven different elementary schools, three middle schools, and one high school.

Living in Carmel, Indiana has its perks, too. Carmel has a thriving arts and culture scene, with its impressive concert hall at the Center for Performing Arts, the Tarkington and Studio Theater, and an Arts and Design district that houses the Indiana Design Center.

The median household income in Carmel is about $100,000, which makes the median $300,000 housing market in the city more affordable.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Carmel

At the rate that Carmel has grown, it’s no surprise that the city has seen an increase in traffic accidents over the years. A common complaint among residents is that they cannot see the roads well enough, especially when a portion of their vision is obscured by a plethora of parked cars on the sides of the roads.

The intersection of 1st Ave SE and East Main Street has the most complaints. Followed close behind were:

• 116th Street and Keystone Parkway (122 accidents)
• 116th Street and Pennsylvania Street (107 accidents)
• 116th Street and Illinois Street (106 accidents)

It’s also important to mention the abundance of roundabouts in Carmel. Though research has shown that roundabouts reduce the number of fatal accidents taking place, they tend to increase the amount of smaller, less serious crashes. Carmel has been building and replacing signalized intersections with roundabouts since the early 90s. Currently, Carmel has over 138 roundabouts, which is more than any other city in America. The number of injury accidents has been reduced by 80% and the number of overall accidents by 40%.
