Speedway is a busy town on Indianapolis’ west side, with commuter traffic, interstate ramps, and race-season crowds. Poynter & Bucheri’s Speedway office is at 5610 Crawfordsville Road #203. If you were hurt in a car crash in Speedway or nearby, call (317) 947-5069.
Where are the common crash locations around Speedway?
- Crawfordsville Road, with retail driveways, turning traffic, and connections to I-465.
- 10th Street and 16th Street, east–west routes that carry commuters and event traffic.
- Georgetown Road and Main Street, where track traffic, pedestrians, and local drivers mix.
- I-465 and I-74 ramps on the west side, where merging cars share lanes with semis.
What about race-day and event crashes?
During the Indianapolis 500 in May and other events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, traffic patterns change, parking lots fill, and many drivers are unfamiliar with local roads. Crashes during events can involve out-of-state drivers, rental cars, and pedestrians. If the other driver is from another state, an Indiana crash can usually still be pursued here, and that driver’s insurance and your own coverage both matter.
Which police agency takes the crash report?
The Town of Speedway has its own police department, which usually handles crashes within town limits. Just outside town limits, IMPD typically responds, and crashes on I-465 or I-74 are commonly handled by the Indiana State Police. Ask for the officer’s name, the agency, and the report number. For a minor, no-injury crash on Indianapolis streets, see who to call after a crash in Indianapolis.
How does insurance work after a Speedway crash?
Indiana is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused the crash and that driver’s insurer are responsible for the harm. Indiana’s minimum liability coverage is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage (IC 9-25-4-5). Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may help after a hit-and-run or when the other driver has too little insurance, and medical payments coverage may help with early bills regardless of fault.
How does shared fault work?
Insurers often argue that you were partly to blame, for example in a left turn across Crawfordsville Road or a lane change near an interstate ramp. Under Indiana’s modified comparative fault law, your damages are reduced by your share of fault. If you were 20% at fault, for example, your damages are reduced by 20%. You are barred from recovery only if your fault is greater than the combined fault of everyone else (IC 34-51-2-5 and 34-51-2-6).
What are the deadlines, and which courts hear the case?
Most Indiana injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash (IC 34-11-2-4). Crashes involving a town, city, county, or state vehicle require written notice within 180 days (local) or 270 days (State). Speedway is in Marion County, so cases are usually filed in Marion Superior Court in Indianapolis.
What should you do next?
- Get medical care promptly, even if you feel “okay.”
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries, and get witness names.
- Notify your own insurer, but be careful about recorded statements to the other driver’s insurer.
- Talk with a lawyer before you sign a release or accept a settlement.
