Statute of Limitations
Many states have their own specific laws regarding personal injury cases, and Indiana is no exception. Most importantly, the statute of limitations for litigating an injury case is two years after the injury for the vast majority of cases. If you are seeking damages from a city or county, that statute is only 180 days, and if you are seeking damages from a state government agency, you have 270 days to file.
Understanding Indiana Injury Law
Additionally, Indiana is an at-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means an injured person has the option to file a claim with the insurance of the driver who caused the accident.
Finally, when it comes to medical malpractice cases, the state of Indiana limits non-economic damages awarded to $500,000. In addition, any government agency involved is limited to paying $5,000,000 for one accident.
This is a general look over the nuances to injury state law in Indiana. For more information specific to your case, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney in Indiana.
