What is the deadline in Indiana?

Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (IC § 34-11-2-4) and a 10-year product liability statute of repose from the time of delivery of the product to the first user (IC § 34-20-3-1). The discovery rule applies for latent injuries. Indiana uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
