How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in indiana?

Under I.C. § 34-11-2-4, all personal injury suits must be filed within two years of the date of the incident. In other words, the two-year window begins on the date of the car accident that injured you.

If you attempt to file a lawsuit after the statutory two-year deadline, the court will most likely dismiss your case, and you will lose your right to seek compensation in Indiana civil court. An experienced car accident lawyer in Indiana can determine how the statute of limitations applies to your claim and keep your case on track from day one.
