Q: My 3 year old son fell into a firepit in april of 2017. He still receives medical care. Is it to late to file a claim
He had 3rd degree burns and had to have skin grafts done and now needs laser surgery that his insurance wont pay for. He was at my boyfriends grandparents house. I was at work and my boyfriend was watching him.
A: The statute of limitations in Indiana for minors is 2 years after they turn 18, so you have plenty of time to file a claim. That being said, contact a local personal injury attorney immediately as the sooner you contact them the better they'll be able to help.
