Indiana Personal Injury Laws

Indiana has specific laws and restrictions regarding personal injury cases. The key personal injury laws in Indiana are:

Comparative negligence laws– Indiana follows a modified comparative negligence rule that affects how compensation is awarded when multiple people share fault for an underlying accident. If you are partly to blame, the compensation you could receive is reduced based on your percentage of fault. And if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault, you are barred from seeking compensation from other at-fault parties.
Auto accident insurance laws– Indiana takes a traditional tort approach to auto insurance. This means that when someone causes an accident in Indiana, they can be held financially responsible for any injuries or property damage resulting from the wreck, which is usually resolved through a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
Liability laws for dog bites– Like many states, Indiana has a “one bite” rule that shields pet owners from liability if they have no reason to suspect their dog posed a threat before an attack. After the proverbial “first bite,” the dog owner should know that the dog is aggressive and is liable for its actions. The exception is if the dog attacks a postal employee or someone performing a duty on behalf of the state or federal government, if they did not provoke the dog. In such cases, the dog’s owner is strictly liable.

Indiana Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

It’s important to consider the statute of limitations on injury claims in Indiana if you are injured. Under Indiana law, you have just two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. This two-year window begins on the date when you were injured, learned of your diagnosis, or reasonably should have known you had grounds for an injury case. If you attempt to sue after the deadline, your lawsuit will likely be dismissed, and you will lose your right to seek compensation in court.

Two years may sound like plenty of time, but it can go by quickly, especially when you are healing from injuries. By the time you have submitted a claim and participated in one or several rounds of settlement negotiations, you may not have much time at all.

An experienced Batesville personal injury attorney can help you by identifying relevant legal deadlines and handling your case professionally and promptly.
