What should parents know when a child is injured in a pedestrian accident?

These cases can involve more than determining who caused the crash. A child’s injuries, future medical needs, and the circumstances surrounding the accident can all affect a potential claim.

Here are a few important things to understand:

⚖️ Liability matters. Speed, distracted driving, traffic signals, crosswalks, and right-of-way may all be considered.

📸 Evidence can be critical. Police reports, witness statements, photos, and available surveillance footage can help establish what happened.

🏥 The full impact of an injury matters. Medical records and future care needs may be considered when evaluating damages.

💰 Compensation can extend beyond initial medical bills. Depending on the case, future treatment and other eligible losses may also be considered.

Want to better understand the legal options available in a child pedestrian injury case? Alex Mendoza Law is ready to help, and there’s no fee unless you win.

When can a property owner be responsible for a slip and fall injury?

Property owners generally have a responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe. When a hazardous condition is known, or should reasonably have been discovered, failing to correct it or provide an adequate warning may lead to liability.

Common hazards can include:

⚠️ Wet or slippery floors
⚠️ Uneven or damaged walkways
⚠️ Poorly lit stairs and pathways
⚠️ Broken steps or unsafe handrails
⚠️ Debris or other walking hazards

However, a slip and fall does not automatically mean the property owner is responsible. Factors such as how the hazard developed, how long it existed, and whether reasonable precautions were taken can all affect a premises liability case.

Some employers use fear of deportation to stop injured workers from filing claims. They imply that filing for workers comp will draw attention to your immigration status, or they outright threaten to report you. This is illegal, and it doesn't change your rights.

What you need to know:

✅ In Indiana, workers compensation covers employees regardless of immigration status. If you were hired and injured on the job, you have the right to file
✅ Retaliating against an employee for filing a workers comp claim is against the law, and threatening deportation is a form of retaliation
✅ Your employer cannot use your immigration status to deny you medical treatment or compensation for a workplace injury
✅ Filing a workers comp claim does not require you to provide proof of citizenship or legal residency

If your employer is using your status as a weapon to keep you from getting the care and compensation you're owed, give Alex Mendoza Law a call. Our team speaks English and Spanish, and everything you share with us stays confidential.

Losing a loved one because of someone else's negligence is one of the hardest experiences a family can face. Understanding your legal rights won't change what happened, but it can help protect your family's future and provide a path forward when you're ready.

What Indiana law allows:

✅ A wrongful death claim can be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate on behalf of surviving dependents.
✅ Compensation may include medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, lost income and future financial support, and, where permitted by law, other damages available to the surviving family.
✅ In most cases, Indiana law gives families two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Missing that deadline can mean losing the opportunity to pursue a claim.
✅ Depending on the circumstances, a wrongful death claim may be brought against an individual, business, property owner, medical provider, or another party whose negligence contributed to the loss.

If your family is facing this difficult situation, Alex Mendoza Law is here to help. We'll listen to your story, explain your legal options, and guide you through every step of the process with the care, compassion, and respect your family deserves.

E-scooters are everywhere in Indianapolis, but the rules around liability when an accident happens are still confusing for most riders. You might not know who to file against or whether you even have a case.

What you should know:

✅ If a car hit you while you were on a scooter, the driver's auto insurance is typically the primary source for your claim
✅ If the scooter itself malfunctioned, the scooter company could be liable under product liability
✅ Poorly maintained sidewalks, potholes, or road hazards that caused the accident may make the city or property owner partially responsible
✅ Indiana's comparative fault rule still applies. As long as you're less than 51% at fault, you can still recover compensation

E-scooter accidents fall into a gray area that insurance companies use to their advantage. The confusion benefits them, not you. Give Alex Mendoza Law a call and we'll cut through it.

Bicycle accidents spike during summer when more riders share the road with cars. And when a collision happens, the cyclist almost always comes out with the more serious injuries. Despite that, insurance companies routinely try to shift blame onto the rider.

What Indiana law says:

✅ Bicyclists have the same legal rights as motor vehicles on Indiana roads. Drivers are required to share the road safely
✅ Indiana's three-foot passing law requires drivers to maintain at least three feet of clearance when overtaking a cyclist
✅ A driver who was distracted, speeding, or failed to yield can be held liable for the collision
✅ Even if the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet or was riding outside a bike lane, that doesn't eliminate the driver's liability under Indiana's comparative fault rules

If a car hit a cyclist and the driver's insurance is trying to pin the blame on the rider, give Alex Mendoza Law a call. We'll look at what actually happened and fight for what's fair.

Don't let the damage to your car fool you. A rear-end collision can cause injuries that aren't immediately obvious. Whiplash, herniated discs, and soft tissue injuries often take hours or even days before symptoms appear.

What to do after a rear-end collision:

✅ Get medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Delayed symptoms are common after rear-end crashes.

✅ In Indiana, the driver who rear-ended you is often presumed to be at fault because they have a duty to maintain a safe following distance.

✅ Don't accept a quick settlement based only on vehicle damage. Your injuries may be far more significant than the damage to your car.

✅ Insurance companies often downplay rear-end crashes as "minor." An attorney can help make sure your injuries are fully considered.

If you've been rear-ended and the insurance company is treating it like no big deal, contact Alex Mendoza Law. We'll help protect your rights and make sure your injuries are taken seriously.

A drug charge in Indiana can follow you for years. It can affect your employment, your housing, your financial aid eligibility, and your record. But a charge is not a conviction, and how you respond in the first 48 hours can shape the outcome.

What to keep in mind:

✅ Do not consent to additional searches or give statements without an attorney present
✅ Indiana classifies drug offenses by schedule and amount. The specific charge determines whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a felony
✅ First-time offenders may qualify for diversion programs or alternative sentencing that can keep a conviction off your record
✅ Evidence collection, search procedures, and how the arrest was conducted can all be challenged if proper protocols weren't followed

A drug charge feels overwhelming, but there are options most people don't know about until they talk to an attorney. Give Alex Mendoza Law a call. The consultation is confidential and it costs nothing to find out where you stand.

School is back in session and the roads around schools are busier than they've been all summer. Drivers who aren't adjusting to lower speed limits, ignoring crosswalks, or running stop arms on school buses put children at serious risk.

If a child is struck near a school zone, here's what matters:

✅ Indiana law makes it a Class A misdemeanor to pass a school bus with its stop arm extended. A violation strengthens a case significantly
✅ School zone speed limits are legally enforceable. A driver who exceeded them was already breaking the law before the accident
✅ Medical attention should be immediate, even if injuries seem minor. Children don't always communicate pain right away
✅ Documenting the scene, the driver's information, and any witnesses is critical for building a strong claim

If a child has been injured near a school zone, give Alex Mendoza Law a call. Acting quickly protects the child's health and the family's legal options.

The Indiana State Fair draws huge crowds every August. Rides, food vendors, temporary structures, and thousands of people moving through the same space. When someone gets hurt, the question of liability isn't always simple.

What the law says:

✅ Ride operators and equipment owners have a duty to inspect and maintain rides to safe standards. A malfunction or failure to maintain can make them liable
✅ The fairgrounds and event organizers are responsible for keeping the premises reasonably safe for visitors
✅ Food vendors can be held accountable if illness or injury results from improper handling or contaminated products
✅ Slip and fall injuries from wet surfaces, loose cables, or uneven ground fall under premises liability

If an accident at the State Fair or any carnival this summer left someone injured, give Alex Mendoza Law a call. We'll review the situation and explain who could be held accountable.
