The statute of limitations is the law that sets the amount of time you have to file your case in court. If you do not file a lawsuit within the specified time period, your case will be time-barred, and you will be unable to recover compensation for the harm you suffered.

The statute of limitations for some Indiana civil rights and injury cases is two years from the date of the violation. But your case could be subject to a shorter, or longer,  statute of limitations.  And your case may have much shorter deadlines to serve or file appropriate papers. To protect yourself and preserve your rights, contact an attorney as quickly as possible.
