Indiana's Statute of Limitations


Wrongful Death
A cause of action for wrongful death accrues on the date of death and must be filed within two years of that date.

Personal Injury Actions
These actions must be brought within two years of the date of the injury.

Medical Malpractice Actions
Actions against health-care providers must be filed within two years of the date that the act giving rise to the injury occurred, regardless of age. Minors under six, however, have until their 8th birthday to file suit.

Products Liability Actions
Products liability actions must be brought within two years after the plaintiff suffers the injury, regardless of age.

Special Rules for Minors
Except in cases of wrongful death, the statute of limitations on ordinary negligence claims begins to run on the minor’s 18th birthday.
