A serious injury can affect every aspect of your life. Our Indianapolis personal injury attorneys help clients pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages while guiding them through the legal process.
Were you hurt in a car wreck, workplace accident, or any other injury in Indianapolis? IC § 34-11-2-4 gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule. If an insurer proves you were 51% or more at fault, you may lose your right to compensation. Call Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys for a free case review.
In Indiana, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years. IC § 34-11-2-4 sets that deadline. The countdown begins once the accident happens.
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule under IC § 34-51-2-6. Fault in an accident could be split between the parties involved. If your share is 50% or less, your recovery reduces that amount. But if an insurer pushes that number to 51% or higher, you may not recover anything at all.
Unfortunately, adjusters use this rule to their advantage. They argue that you were speeding, following too closely, or not paying attention. Our attorneys could challenge their version of events and fight to protect what you’re owed.
But, did your accident involve a city vehicle, a Marion County road defect, or any government-owned property? A shorter deadline applies. Under IC § 34-13-3-8, claims against an Indiana city must be filed within 180 days of the injury. Claims against the state must be filed within 270 days.
If you miss either deadline, your claim may be lost. Meet with a personal injury attorney before deciding on your next move.
Indianapolis is called the “Crossroads of America”, and its major roads earn that name every day. Three major interstates intersect in the city. According to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), Marion County recorded 38,255 traffic collisions in 2024. This is the highest of any county in the state. Common accident sites include Interstate 65, Interstate 70, and the I-465 Beltway.
Interstate 65 (I-65) is one of the most dangerous roads in Indiana. The stretch through Indianapolis runs alongside some of the city’s most active freight corridors. Speeding, heavy truck traffic, and construction zones trigger accidents. Rear-end crashes and serious multi-vehicle pile-ups are common throughout the year.
Running through Indianapolis, Interstate 70 (I-70) is another dangerous road. Both constant commercial truck traffic and abrupt lane changes cause accidents.
Circling Indianapolis, the I-465 Beltway connects every major interstate into the city. The interchanges where I-465 meets I-65, I-69, and I-70 are some of the most crash-prone locations in Marion County. Speeding and weaving drivers regularly cause sideswipe and rear-end crashes.
In Indiana, evidence disappears quickly after a car accident. Witnesses’ memories fade, and roads are repaired. Hiring an attorney is the most important thing you could do for your case.
