Every state, including Indiana, possesses “statutes of limitations”, which dictate how long an injured person has to file a lawsuit.  If you have been injured and you fail to file your lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations, your claim will be forever barred.  Because statutes of limitations may differ based upon where you were injured and other factors, it is important that you speak with an attorney regarding your claim as soon as possible after your injury to ensure that you do not lose your claim.  There are also other earlier deadlines to preserve a claim in some cases that expire before the statute of limitations, which require very quick action on an injured party’s part to preserve their claim.  Therefore, we believe you should contact an attorney as soon as an injury or death has occurred.

First and foremost, if you have been injured, you should ensure that you receive the necessary immediate medical care.  After your immediate medical care, you should consider gathering information related to the accident, including the name of the individual who caused the accident, the name and address of his or her automobile insurer, and the names and identifying information of any witnesses to the accident.  If a police report is prepared, you should consider obtaining a copy of this report.  It is very important that you not agree to provide any recorded statements to the insurance company representative for the driver whose negligence caused your injury and that you do not sign anything from such representatives without first consulting an attorney.
