2 years from discovery of injury and PFAS connection

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.

Indiana has documented PFAS contamination at Grissom Air Reserve Base in Miami County and Hulman Regional Airport (Indiana ANG) in Vigo County near Terre Haute. The state also has industrial PFAS sources in the Northwest Indiana steel corridor. Residents near these sites who developed PFAS-linked cancers or thyroid disease should evaluate their claims promptly given Indiana's 2-year statute of limitations.

Indiana personal injury claims are governed by Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4, providing a 2-year limitations period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.).
