A:Medical malpractice lawsuits in Indiana are subject to a two year statute of limitations, meaning you typically have until the second anniversary of the alleged malpractice to take legal action against the responsible party. This time limit may sometimes be extended in situations where the malpractice-related harm is not immediately discovered or if the injured patient was a child under the age of six, though these extensions are not always guaranteed and can vary depending on the specific circumstances. If you are unsure how the statute of limitations applies to your case, or if you think the filing deadline may be approaching soon, it is critical you get in touch with our attorneys as soon as possible to determine your legal options.
