About James
Biography
James F. Ludlow is an Indianapolis based attorney who is dedicated to helping injured people throughout Indiana and the United States. He offers clients an appropriate balance of aggressive but compassionate representation. His goal is to provide excellent service and to obtain the maximum financial recovery that is reasonable and fair for the particular injury that a client has sustained.
The vast majority of his clients have never been involved in a personal injury claim or have ever hired an attorney. In fact, they have no desire to do so now, but the severity of their injuries makes them realize that they really need legal representation. He brings over 33 years experience in representing personal injury clients and those who have lost loved ones because of someone’s carelessness or negligence. In each case, James strives to understand the precise nature and extent of a client's injury. By having an in-depth understanding of the specific injury, he can better assess how this injury may affect the client, both now and in the future. This understanding is critical in determining the amount of compensation that a client rightfully deserves.
Financial compensation can never take the place of a loved one who was killed, nor can it eliminate the pain or disability that your accident has caused. However, a successful personal injury or wrongful death claim can ease the financial impact of your loss or serious injury. James will work hard for fair and just compensation that can enable you to get on with your life.

So very helpful.
I was so confused about what my options were after being unjustly accused of being at fault during a motor vehicle accident and being asked to pay a large sum of money.
