Do You Know There Are Time Limits To File An Auto Accident Lawsuit In Indiana?

In Indiana, individuals who wish to pursue compensation via a lawsuit due to injuries suffered in an auto accident typically have only two years to take action. This is known as the statute of limitations period. If the injured person is a minor, he/she will typically have to file their claim within two years of their 18th birthday.

More About The Statute Of Limitations Period

The two-year clock starts on the day of the incident. It is important to contact an attorney to help you with your injury claim well within this two year period.

Sadly, many people wait too long to file a claim. In Indiana, if the statute of limitation expires, you will likely be barred from filing a claim and recovering compensation.

Statute Of Limitations In A Car Accident Fatality

If someone dies in a car accident, the two-year limitation still applies. However, the deadline starts the day of the person’s death. This could be later than the date of the accident.

Our firm sought out Dan Buba to represent catastrophically injured clients in a complex trucking accident case. Dan immediately went to the scene to preserve evidence and document the vehicle and trucker’s route. Once in litigation, he deftly expanded the pool of culpable defendants with coverage and/or assets to compensate the injured victims. His veteran creativity in complex litigation and dogged determination to pursue all theories and sources of recovery for the clients paid off. We highly recommend Dan Buba and his team for those complicated multi-party cases with catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Dan is excellent.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Dan Buba as local counsel in a crash case involving a commercial motor vehicle. I’ve worked with many law firms across several states, Doehrman Buba Ring is among the best. Dan’s trucking knowledge and expertise was invaluable, and his input was instrumental in helping to resolve our case. Dan is passionate and steadfast, whenever an issue came up in the case Dan would immediately find the time to talk me through it and strategize. That case tested our legal creativity; we would not have been successful without Dan’s guidance. I would not hesitate to work with Dan and Doehrman Buba Ring again. Great attorneys and great people.

I have had the pleasure of working together as co-counsel with Dan Buba and Doehrman Buba Ring to help mutual clients many times over the years. Dan’s contributions leap beyond navigating substantive and procedural Indiana legal issues and have extended into helping find additional insurance coverage and doing supplemental investigations. My firm, our clients, and I are all grateful for his advocacy.

Our firm has had the pleasure of co-counseling with Dan Buba at Doehrman Ring in a semi-truck crash wrongful death case. We contacted Dan because of his extensive experience in handling commercial motor vehicle cases. Dan’s truck crash case knowledge and hard work was a big help in our settlement of the case, and was very much appreciated by our firm and the client.

I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with these superb trial lawyers and people at this most esteemed firm. They are undoubtedly the best of the best, with the highest passion, knowledge, care, skills possible.
