What is the deadline in Indiana?

The discovery rule starts when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the connection between paraquat exposure and Parkinson’s disease. 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.

Where would my case be heard?
Indiana is a major corn and soybean state with substantial historical paraquat use. The state’s agricultural landscape — approximately 15 million acres of farmland — has exposed thousands of applicators, farmworkers, and rural residents to paraquat over decades. Indiana’s 2-year personal injury SOL with discovery rule applies. The Indiana Product Liability Act governs claims against manufacturers and provides a framework for strict liability and failure-to-warn theories.
Indiana paraquat cases can be filed in the circuit or superior court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where exposure occurred. Marion County (Indianapolis), Allen County (Fort Wayne), and agricultural counties throughout central and southern Indiana are relevant venues. Federal claims are coordinated through MDL 3004 in S.D. Illinois. Indiana’s Product Liability Act requires claims to be filed within the applicable statute of limitations and includes a statute of repose.
