Personal Injury Lawyer in Kokomo, IN
If you have suffered injuries in an accident, you know that the immediate aftermath of the accident can be an extremely stressful and confusing time. You can feel overwhelmed and struggle to regain any semblance of a normal life. When someone else’s negligence causes an accident, the victim may have to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company.
The personal injury attorneys at Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC will work to help you seek justice for your accident. Our attorneys offer genuine compassion along with decades of combined experience, and we put all of it to work for you.
Our Kokomo personal injury law firm can investigate your accident and begin negotiating a fair and full settlement of your claim. If an insurance company refuses to provide a reasonable settlement, our firm will be prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf and seek justice in court.
How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me?
Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC is dedicated to representing those who have been injured and families of those killed as the result of someone else’s carelessness. We have been representing personal injury victims as a team since 1999, but our individual experience as personal injury attorneys reaches back more than 26 years.
Based on our experience, we’ve observed that insurers never give priority to the claims of accident victims. Many companies will often do whatever they can to minimize the amount they have to pay to settle a claim. If you try to negotiate on your own with the insurer, you will be at a disadvantage.
Each Kokomo personal injury attorney at Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC is a skilled negotiator with years of experience dealing with insurance companies. We will gather your medical bills and other expenses related to the accident and assess the fair value of your injury claim. We will demand a fair settlement from the insurer that reflects the full extent of your losses.
When you come to Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC for legal representation in Indiana, you won’t work with only one lawyer. Instead, you get the benefit of our entire team on your side. We each have our strengths, and because we work as a team, you get the best from each of us.
We have numerous paralegals with significant personal injury experience and have designated a staff member to assist with settling property damage claims on autos at no cost to our clients.

We understand how difficult it is to manage legal matters in such devastating circumstances. We handle your case with compassion and strive to take the burden from you so you can focus on your family.
Some automobile accidents involve one driver who is clearly at fault. However, the cause of many crashes can be more difficult to determine. You will want to make sure you have an experienced attorney who can perform an independent investigation into your crash.
Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC works with accident reconstruction specialists when necessary to get answers to how an accident occurred. Keep in mind that many insurance companies will try to find any way possible to pin the blame on you for your accident.
You should not speak to any insurer or provide any recorded statement to a claims adjuster until you have legal representation. Keep in mind that Indiana is considered a modified comparative fault state, which means that plaintiffs can collect damages only when they were less than 50 percent at fault for their accident.
