Indianapolis is where five interstates meet, where the state’s busiest hospitals treat crash victims, and where Poynter & Bucheri has its main office at 4202 Madison Ave on the south side and a Downtown Indy office at 55 South State Avenue. We help people hurt in truck crashes, car crashes, and falls at businesses across Marion County. You don't have to come to an office.

Roads and highways around Indianapolis
The I-465 beltway circles the city, and I-65, I-69, I-70, and I-74 all connect to it; downtown, I-65 and I-70 share the inner-loop “splits.” Surface arterials such as Meridian Street, Keystone Avenue, Washington Street (U.S. 40), Pendleton Pike (U.S. 36), 38th Street, and Madison Avenue carry heavy local traffic, and the west and southwest sides near the airport are packed with distribution centers.
Local crash and injury risks
Downtown event traffic around Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse, dedicated bus lanes and busy crosswalks along rapid-transit corridors, and constant semi traffic merging onto I-465 all create crash risk. Big-box stores, restaurants, and hotels downtown and along the beltway are frequent sites of premises injuries.
Courts for Marion County cases
Civil injury cases from Marion County are usually filed in Marion Superior Court in downtown Indianapolis. Federal cases may be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Indiana’s venue rules can allow other counties or courts in some cases, depending on where the defendants are located.

Indiana deadlines to keep in mind
Most Indiana injury lawsuits must be filed within two years (IC 34-11-2-4). Claims involving a city, county, or state vehicle or property require written notice within 180 days (local) or 270 days (State). Indiana’s modified comparative fault rules (IC 34-51-2) reduce damages by your share of fault and bar recovery only if your fault is greater than everyone else’s combined.
