Personal Injury Statute Of Limitations

In Indiana, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years. In most cases, this two-year clock starts the day the injury occurred. However, there are limited situations where the statute of limitations will not begin running until the time the injured party knew or should have known about the existence of the injury.

Remember, time is not on your side when it comes to filing a personal injury claim. If you’ve sustained a serious personal injury, it is always in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

At Garau Germano, P.C., our team consists of compassionate and experienced Indianapolis personal injury attorneys who are focused on helping you recover the just compensation you are owed. While this compensation cannot undo the suffering you have endured, it can help you begin the healing process and move forward from the accident.

Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?

Unlike insurance companies, the attorneys at Garau Germano, P.C., are true advocates on your side, fighting for your best interest every step along the way. Insurance companies are looking out for their company’s best interest, not what you need to recover from your injuries. On top of that, many people find that their injuries become more severe in the following days or weeks after they sustain them. If you accept a settlement from an insurance company before you know how serious your injuries are, you may find your settlement amount no longer covers all your medical expenses. Our personal injury attorneys in Indianapolis can fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

What Can I Recover In A Personal Injury Claim?

There are three main types of damages an injury victim can pursue in a personal injury claim. These are economic damages, noneconomic damages and punitive damages. Economic damages compensate the injured party for the financial losses they suffer because of their injury, such as medical expenses or lost wages.

Noneconomic damages compensate the injured party for their nonfinancial, more abstract suffering such as pain and suffering, or mental anguish. Punitive damages differ from the first two in that their main purpose is to serve as financial punishment to the negligent party instead of compensating the injured party.
