Indiana Car Accident Compensation <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Statutes of Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In every state, there are laws that govern how much time a victim has to make a claim against another party. This is known as statutes of limitations<\/em>, and they are a vital aspect to your potential legal claim. See our blog, \u201cCan a Personal Injury Statute of Limitations Be Extended?<\/a>\u201d to learn the importance behind taking action in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for car accidents, victims generally have 2 years from the date of the incident to make a claim for compensation against a standard party. If making a claim against a city, county or state defendant, victims have substantially less time to file what is called a \u201cTort Claims Notice\u201d, which must be filed in a timely fashion or the victim cannot later file a lawsuit against that particular defendant.\u00a0 The shortest time period to file a Tort Claims Notice is 180 days so you should obtain an attorney as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awarded Damages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here in Indiana, the law gives victims the opportunity\nto recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include\nmedical expenses, hospital bills, lost wages, and more. Non-economic damages\ninclude pain, suffering, permanent disfigurement, mental anguish, and loss of\nconsortium, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
