Personal Injury Lawyer for Elkhart, Indiana

When an Elkhart crash takes your health and your paycheck, we go after both.

Elkhart's roads work as hard as its people. Shift changes at the RV plants push waves of traffic onto US 20, the bypass and State Road 19; box trucks and chassis haulers share lanes with commuters year-round. When that mix goes wrong - a rear-end collision at a light on Cassopolis Street, a dog bite in a residential neighborhood, a fall at a local business - the bills arrive faster than the recovery.

Walter Law represents injured Elkhart residents in claims arising from automobile accidents, dog bites, slips and falls, and wrongful death. We pursue compensation for your medical expenses, your pain and suffering, and the income you lost while you healed - through settlement when the offer is fair, and through trial when it is not.

You will not be handed off to a case manager. The attorney who evaluates your claim is the attorney who fights it, and our Nappanee office is a half-hour from anywhere in Elkhart.

  • Car, truck and motorcycle collisions on US 20, SR 19 and city streets

Frequently Asked Questions

Not before talking to an attorney. Recorded statements made in the first days after an Elkhart crash are routinely used to minimize payouts. Let us handle the insurer while you focus on healing.

It depends on your medical expenses, lost income, the permanence of your injuries and your pain and suffering. We evaluate each claim individually and pursue a fair resolution through settlement or trial.

Indiana generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, and important evidence disappears much faster than that. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.
