Unfortunately, it seems too many people in Indiana these days take driving for granted and are reckless behind the wheel. Careless or reckless drivers cause many thousands of motor vehicle accidents every single year. Being in an accident is stressful enough, but when the at-fault driver flees the scene, the experience can be devastating for victims and families.

Where can victims and families get help?
Dangers on today’s roadways are too numerous to mention. These days, just taking a short drive around town could potentially result in a serious or fatal accident. Victims and families in Indiana who have been injured or lost loved ones in motor vehicle accidents have the right to contact a lawyer about their options for legal recourse.
