[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"When you have a claim you can file with your insurance company after a car accident, your policy will likely provide a deadline for filing a claim to obtain coverage. If you have a claim against the at-fault driver's insurance, notify the other driver's insurer of your car accident claim as soon as possible. Waiting too long to file your claim may lead to the insurance company denying your claim if it cannot investigate the accident, obtain evidence, and determine fault for the crash.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Insurance companies offer multiple options for filing a car accident claim:  1) Your insurance company may have a mobile application that allows you to file your claim even at the accident scene. 2) You can call an insurance company at their claims hotline to file a car accident claim over the phone. 3) The insurance company's website may have electronic or paper forms you can print out and mail to file your claim.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"If you think you bear some responsibility for the car accident, you may still have the right to file a car accident claim. Indiana uses a comparative fault rule for car accident cases. This rule allows an injured driver to pursue compensation if they are less than 51 percent to blame. However, your financial recovery will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question3","text":"Under Indiana\u2019s statute of limitations, you must file a lawsuit against an at-fault driver and their insurer within two years of the car accident date. However, there are exceptions that could extend or shorten this deadline. The court can dismiss a lawsuit filed after the limitations period expires, regardless of the claim's merits. You should talk to a car accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights to pursue compensation.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How Long Do I Have to File a Claim with the Insurance Company?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How to File a Car Accident Claim in Indiana?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer2"},"name":"What If I Am Partially Responsible for the Accident?","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Question2"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Long Do I Have to File an Injury Lawsuit in Indiana?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Answer3"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#Question3"}],"name":"Filing an insurance claim in Indiana: What steps to take","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Filing an insurance claim in Indiana: What steps to take","item":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/filing-insurance-claim-in-indiana\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
