Indiana Statute of Limitations

Topic: Legal Malpractice
The statute of limitations in Indiana is a date based on a certain amount of time following an event or the discovery of an event in which a lawsuit must be filed, or your claim will be forever barred. The calculation of this date is fairly straightforward. Speak to your attorney regarding your statute of limitations. Legal Malpractice cases arise when your attorney fails to file a claim on your behalf in a timely manner, or more accurately, within the statue of limitations.
These cases can be very difficult to pursue, as juries often view lawyers with high esteem. If you hired an attorney to file a lawsuit on your behalf and the lawsuit was not filed "in time," please contact an attorney who is experienced in handling Legal Malpractice claims. For a free consultation, please call the Indiana law firm of Wagner, Reese and Crossen at (800) 792-0332.
