Indiana Personal Injury Law
Indiana law dictates a strict statute of limitations for personal injury cases, so it is important to contact a Valparaiso personal injury attorney as soon as you are able, after reporting your injury and seeking medical attention. For example, in general, civil lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of an accident. Even stricter time limits apply to tort claim notices if a state, municipality or government agency may be responsible for your injury: 180 days for cities or counties, and 270 days for state government agencies. Despite the pain and suffering surrounding your injury and recovery, it is important to begin the process of your legal recourse as soon as possible in order to take action within these limits.
It is a testament to the vibrancy and friendliness flowing throughout the Valpo community that so many of our attorneys have chosen not only to attend law school here, but to pursue their careers here and, in so many cases, settle their families. We’re big believers in the importance and safety of family at the Allen Law Group, and to that end, our founder, Kenneth J. Allen have donated over $20,000 in support of causes like Child Identification Kits for kindergarteners and first graders, with the goal of alleviating child abduction and exploitation.
