Statute of Limitations

Indiana imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (IC 34-11-2-4). The state follows an at-fault insurance system with modified comparative negligence under the 51% bar — a plaintiff who is 51% or more at fault recovers nothing. Minimum liability coverage is 25/50/25. Indiana caps punitive damages at 3x compensatory damages or $50,000 (whichever is greater), with 75% of punitive damages paid to the state.
