How Indiana injury claims work, from fault to filing deadlines
The two-year deadline, the 51 percent bar, the nonparty defense, Tort Claims Act notices, and medical review panels.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
An accident changes everything in a moment. Then come the questions about deadlines, fault, and what a claim involves.
The Indiana Personal Injury Guide explains how injury claims work under Indiana law. It starts with negligence, the failure to use reasonable care, and the four elements needed to prove it. It then explains the general two-year statute of limitations under Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4.
Indiana uses modified comparative fault with a 51 percent bar. A claimant found 51 percent or more at fault recovers nothing, while a lower share of fault reduces the recovery. The guide also explains:
• The nonparty, or empty chair, defense and its deadlines
• The stricter contributory negligence rule for claims against government entities
• Notice of tort claim deadlines under the Indiana Tort Claims Act
• The medical review panel under the Medical Malpractice Act
• Wrongful death claims, damages, and the discovery process
The guide is written from two perspectives, the injured person and the defendant or insurer, and includes checklists, comparison tables, and a glossary. Legal information, not legal advice.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Indiana personal injury statute of limitations: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long is the deadline to file an injury lawsuit in Indiana?
The general statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury (Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4). Claims against government entities also have shorter notice deadlines. The guide explains both.
Can someone partly at fault recover damages in Indiana?
Under modified comparative fault, a claimant 50 percent or less at fault may recover a reduced amount, but 51 percent or more bars recovery. The guide explains the different rule for government claims.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
