Understanding the Risks and Realities of Motorcycle Crashes
Driver Negligence & Visibility Issues
Many motorcycle accidents happen because other drivers simply fail to see a rider. Left-turn collisions, lane changes, and distracted driving are among the most common causes. We hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
Severe Injuries & Lasting Impact
Even when helmets and safety gear are used, riders are vulnerable to catastrophic injuries like fractures, head trauma, and road rash. Todd Uzelac Law helps clients manage both the legal and personal challenges that follow serious crashes.
Insurance Challenges for Motorcyclists
Insurance companies often try to undervalue motorcycle claims or unfairly shift blame to the rider. Our firm knows these tactics and fights to ensure riders are treated fairly under Indiana law.

Common Questions About Motorcycle Accidents
What should I do right after a motorcycle crash?
Seek immediate medical attention, contact law enforcement, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters until you’ve talked to an attorney. Preserving evidence early makes a major difference.
Can I still recover compensation if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Yes, you can still pursue a claim in Indiana. While helmet use may affect how damages are argued, it doesn’t prevent recovery for another driver’s negligence.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Indiana’s statute of limitations generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s important to act quickly so evidence and witness details aren’t lost.
What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?
We explore all available options, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our firm ensures every potential recovery source is considered.
