How long do I have to file a law sue

Dear Shelia,   The statute of limitations to file a law suit for personal injury in Indiana is 2 years from the date of the accident.  If you do not file a lawsuit within that time period, your claim will be forever barred.  There are some exceptions to this general rule, for example a child who is negligently injured may have until 2 years after they reach the age of majority (18).  Because there are many nuances to filing a personal injury claim, it is important to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury attorney.   Best,   Chip
