How does Indiana’s modified comparative fault system affect a car accident claim?
Indiana uses a fault-based system to determine legal liability and legal compensation related to a car accident legal claim. This means means that the at-fault driver compensates the other driver for his or her personal injuries and damages and property damages. If both parties share blame for an accident, the driver who is 50% or less at fault will still receive damages, but the damages will be reduced by the amount of fault that is assigned to each driver. If a person is 25% at fault for the accident, then that person’s total for damages will be reduced by 25%. Our car accident lawyers can explain how this will apply to your case.
How long do you have to file a car accident lawsuit in Indiana?
You have two years from the date of a car accident to file a lawsuit against the person responsible for causing the collision. We recommend that you file a lawsuit much earlier than necessary, so that we can gather evidence and find witnesses regarding the collision.
