What Indiana deadlines should you keep in mind?
Most Indiana injury lawsuits must be filed within two years (IC 34-11-2-4). Claims involving a city, county, or state vehicle or property require written notice within 180 days (local) or 270 days (State). Indiana’s modified comparative fault rules (IC 34-51-2) reduce damages by your share of fault and bar recovery only if your fault is greater than everyone else’s combined.
