    Default Statute of Limitations Indiana Auto Accident Claim

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Indiana

    Met with a accident (not at fault) in Nov 2004. I was driving and had a friend in passenger seat. We had very minor injuries. But later we found out that my friend had injuries to his back and neck, because of which he was in constant pain.

    My friend had consulted an attorney and we filed a case against the other driver and his insurance company to claim the medical expenses. There was disagreement over the settlement and the case went to the state court. But the defendant (the other car driver) had passed away by the time of hearing and the case got dismissed since he did not have any trust or anything else and the other driver's insurance company didn't pay a penny to my friend for the medical expenses.

    My question is, can I now file a claim with my insurance company to get the medical bills paid or is it too late? The case was dismissed last year. Does it matter?

    Thanks
    JM

    You can try. I expect the claim will be rejected. Start by reviewing the time limits for claims set forth right in your insurance policy.

    Every state has its own Statute of Limitations which defines time-period within which a lawsuit must be filed. You can consult your attorney to know about whether you can file or not
