What is the deadline in Indiana?

Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (IC 34-11-2-4). Modified comparative fault with 51% bar. Indiana has a 2-year wrongful death SOL. A lawyer can confirm yours.

2 years from date of accident

Claims against INDOT or local government entities must comply with the Indiana Tort Claims Act (IC 34-13-3), requiring notice within 180 days for state claims.

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.
