We’ve seen over and over how confusing things can be following a car accident, truck crash, or motorcycle collision. We’ve listened to the stories of people dealing with overwhelming medical bills and other accident-related expenses. We’ve spoken with people unable to work and care for their families due to a severe injury. We’ve cried with people mourning the loss of loved ones in fatal accidents. If you need an Indiana car accident attorney, we have what it takes. We understand what you’re going through – and what to do about it. Turn to Indiana’s original personal injury law firm when it matters most.

Since our founding more than a century ago, we’ve been helping accident victims find answers to their questions. We’ve been building strong cases on their behalf that insurance companies take seriously. We’ve been getting settlements and verdicts that help our clients move forward.

If you were injured in a car or truck accident, our personal injury lawyers can help you recover the financial compensation you need. We can make sure your case gets the attention it deserves. We can help you demand justice.Attorney Charles V. Vaughan is board-certified in Civil Trial Law and Civil Practice Advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. This exclusive certification – held by fewer than 20 attorneys in Indiana – is only awarded to experienced attorneys who have demonstrated skill and expertise in thecourtroom and passed a rigorous testing process.

Unlike doctors, lawyers are not required to be board-certified – this is an additional credential that only a handful of attorneys hold. Attorney Vaughan chose to become board-certified because we are always looking for ways to fight more effectively for our clients.

Furthermore, we employ Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to work through our clients' medical records and treatments to understand their needs deeply. For example, please look at Kim's profile for our firm https://vaughanandvaughan.com/our-attorneys/kim-johansen/ .

Our law firm’s motto is: “It’s all about the client.” That means we never stop working to get you the best results possible. It means we care about your specific needs. We’re compassionate with you yet aggressive with insurance companies.

We don’t settle for less. We fight for a fair settlement or verdict. Along the way, we will always keep you informed on the progress of your case. We are happy to answer any questions. We are with you every step of the way, even answering legal questions long after your case is resolved.

We have offices throughout Indiana, so if you are in need of an Indianapolis Car Accident Lawyer, please feel free to contact us through our website or phone. We also have offices in Lafayette, Kokomo, Anderson, Muncie, and Carmel.
