Every state, including Indiana, possesses “statutes of limitations”, which dictate how long an injured person has to file a lawsuit.\u00a0 If you have been injured and you fail to file your lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations, your claim will be forever barred.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Therefore, we believe you should contact an attorney as soon as an injury or death has occurred.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
