Talk to a workers' comp lawyer in Indiana.

Statute-of-limitations rules have important exceptions our calculator does not model: the discovery rule, equitable tolling, last-payment-of-benefits triggers, minor and disability tolling. Before relying on any specific date, a licensed workers' compensation attorney in your state can confirm what actually applies to your case.

We don't have a partner network yet.

WorkersCompDeadline.us is a new informational hub. We are building a vetted attorney-referral network but it is not yet live. We will not collect a form submission and forward it to an attorney we don't have a relationship with. That kind of stub-form is exactly what we promised the site would never do.

Until our network is live, use one of the routes below. They are free, official, and run by the actual people who govern attorney conduct in your state.

How to find a workers' comp attorney in your state

  1. 1.Use the state-bar lawyer-referral service (LRS). Almost every state bar runs one. Most states charge $0–$50 for an initial 30-minute consult, then standard fees if you retain. Find your state's LRS via the ABA Directory of state bar lawyer-referral services. Filter for "workers' compensation" when their site allows.
  2. 2.Most workers' comp attorneys work on contingency. You typically pay no out-of-pocket fee for the case itself; the attorney's fee is a percentage of any settlement or award (often capped by state law at 10–25% in workers' comp specifically). Confirm fee structure during the initial consult.
  3. 3.Bring documentation to your first call: date of injury (or last exposure / diagnosis), what you reported to your employer and when, any medical records, any benefit-payment history, your state and county of injury.
  4. 4.Ask about the deadline first. Workers' comp filing windows are often shorter than ordinary personal-injury statutes of limitations. The attorney should give you a clear absolute date by which you must file, plus the notice deadline if it is still open.
  5. 5.For Indiana specifically: review the deadline and the leading exceptions on our Indiana page, then call the Indiana state bar LRS.
