[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"In Indiana, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case is two years. What this means is that a victim must file their personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident or injury, or they risk having their case dismissed without being heard. The statute of limitations is a limit on the amount of time that can pass before the right to pursue an action is barred.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/indiana-statute-of-limitations\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"In some situations, the statute of limitations won\u2019t start to tick from the date that an accident or injury occurred, or from the date of the negligent act.
