There are time limits that you should be aware of when it comes to filing a claim for compensation after an accident. Every state holds strict deadlines for seeking compensation and they are important to know and follow. They also change depending on the type of claim that you are filing.
Indiana has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. This means you have two years to file a claim or you may lose your right to compensation.
There are some exceptions that can extend this time period such as if the injury victim was a minor, or the defendant leaves the state, but generally speaking, it is best to file a claim as soon as possible in order to protect your right to compensation.
The time limit will start from the day that the accident happens or that you become aware of your injuries. With such strict deadlines in place, it is important to seek medical attention immediately and get an attorney who can start evaluating evidence. You will need every moment of this time frame to build an effective case strategy for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
The categories you can pursue compensation, or damages, for in a personal injury claim remain consistent across most personal injury claims, although the specific circumstances of your case may make a difference.
These damages are divided into three main categories:
Economic damages compensate for financial losses an injury victim suffers such as:
Non-economic damages, as the name suggests, compensates for non-financial losses associated with suffering an injury including:
Since non-economic damages focus on more abstract losses, they are also called general damages. The state of Indiana does have a cap, or limit, in place on how much non-economic damages a claimant can recover in some circumstances. An attorney from our firm can inform you if these laws will affect your case.
The last type of damage available is punitive damages. Punitive damages are different than economic and non-economic in that their main purpose is to punish a negligent party rather than compensate the injured party. Often reserved for cases where the defendant knew their actions would cause harm but did them anyway, punitive damages are not often awarded.
