How Long Do I Have to Make a Motorcycle Accident Claim?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Here in Indiana, most personal injury claims,\nincluding motorcycle accidents, have a 2 year-to-date statute of limitations,\nbut the time period can be substantially less depending on who the defendant\nis. Claims against governmental entities have to be made very quickly. \nThis means that most claimants have 24 months from the date of their accident\nto make a personal injury claim against the at-fault party. If the statute of\nlimitation runs out, there may be an option to have it extended, but this is\nonly under very specific circumstances. See our blog, \u201cCan\na Personal Injury Statute of Limitations Be Extended?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about\nthis topic. To avoid running out of time, it is vital that you speak with a\nseasoned Indiana motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you are capable,\nfollowing your accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your passenger also suffered serious injuries in\nyour motorcycle accident, they too would be entitled to compensation for their\ndamages and losses, such as medical expenses and hospital bills. However, their\nclaim would be entirely separate from yours, as they would hire their own\nlawyer to file their injury claim against the at-fault party.

It\ncan depend on the type of case, the lawyer\u2019s experience and more. Common\npayment arrangements used by law firms and lawyers include hourly rates, flat\nrates, retainers, and contingent fees.
