Monge & Associates Injury and Accident Attorneys — Serving Indiana from our Indianapolis office · (317) 300-5732
If you or a loved one was injured in Indiana due to someone else's negligence, understanding the state's legal framework is critical to protecting your claim. Indiana's 51% comparative fault bar means insurance companies only need to push your share of fault past 50% to eliminate your claim entirely. Unlike pure comparative negligence states where you can recover at any fault level, Indiana draws a hard line.
At Monge & Associates Injury and Accident Attorneys, our Indiana personal injury lawyers have recovered over $1 billion for injury victims since 1993. We know how to navigate Indiana's legal framework to maximize your recovery.
We represent clients across the state from offices in Indianapolis. The call is free, and you pay nothing unless we win. If you were injured anywhere in Indiana, speak with our legal team.

Truck Accidents
Indiana's position along major freight corridors makes commercial truck crashes a persistent danger. Our attorneys investigate truck driver records, company policies, and vehicle maintenance logs to ensure full accountability.

Understanding Indiana Personal Injury Law
Statute of Limitations
Under Indiana law, personal injury victims have two years (IC 34-11-2-4) from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Courts enforce these deadlines strictly. If you file even one day late, your case will be dismissed.
Modified Comparative Fault (51% bar)
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault system (IC 34-51-2-6). You can recover compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. At 51% or more fault, you cannot recover anything.
Example: If you are 30% at fault and the other driver is 70% at fault in a $100,000 case, you recover $70,000. At 51% fault, you recover nothing.
Insurance companies will try to inflate your share of fault to reduce or eliminate your recovery. Our attorneys work to minimize the fault attributed to you through thorough investigation and evidence gathering.
Damage Caps
Indiana does not impose a general statutory cap on compensatory damages in personal injury cases. Medical malpractice damages are capped at $1.8 million under the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To Under Indiana Law
If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence in Indiana, you may be entitled to recover several types of compensation.
Economic Damages
Medical expenses (past and future hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescriptions), lost wages for time missed from work, diminished earning capacity, and property damage to vehicles or personal belongings.
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium (the impact on relationships with family members), and loss of enjoyment of life.
Punitive Damages
In cases involving egregious misconduct, Indiana courts may award punitive damages to punish the responsible party and deter similar behavior.
