FAQ: Personal Injury in Indiana
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Indiana?
For many Indiana personal injury cases, the lawsuit deadline is two years from when the cause of action accrues. Some cases have shorter notice requirements, especially claims involving government entities, so do not wait to get legal guidance.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
You should not give a detailed recorded statement to the at-fault party’s insurance company before speaking with an Indiana personal injury attorney. Adjusters may ask questions designed to limit fault, minimize your injuries, or create confusion about what happened.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
You may still have a claim, depending on your percentage of fault. Indiana’s comparative fault rules can reduce compensation based on your share of fault, and recovery can be barred if your fault is greater than the fault assigned to the responsible parties.
What should I bring to a consultation with an Indiana personal injury lawyer?
Bring anything connected to the injury, including photos, videos, police reports, incident reports, medical records, bills, insurance letters, witness names, and screenshots of adjuster communications.
