" All Personal Injury Lawyers are Not Construction Action Lawyers."

"How Long do I have to bring a lawsuit after I have been hurt in a Construction accident?" is a question frequently asked of your Indiana Construction Accident Lawyer. The simple answer is two years from the date of the construction accident. There are limited exceptions, for example if the injured construction worker was under 18 years old at the time of the personal injury, or if the injury is so severe that the worker is unable to manage his own affairs, such as after a brain injury from a fall.  In general however, two years is  all you have to file a construction accident lawsuit in Indiana.      Other states have different rules, some providing longer and some providing less time. I know from representing hundreds of injured construction workers and thier families that construction workers  are as tough as nails and that they will be "OK". They soon discover that they are not "OK", and probably never will be, and will not be able to return to the work they love, and more importantly, cannot support thier famlilies like they have always done. Hopefully, that realization comes before the two year "statute of limitations" expires.

When your Indiana Construction Accident Lawyer gets a call from an injured iron worker, mason, electrician or other skilled trade, I wait to see if the worker has a good recovery before deciding to take the case. If he does, then often times I will decline the case, knowing litigation can affect thier careers. If not, I do my damndest to get them every dime they deserve.  If they wait too long to contact me, there is nothing I can do to help.
