The sources we read do not say: medical malpractice, claims against the state government (notice deadline).

The official Indiana General Assembly code pages could not be read, so 2025 code text was taken from Justia copies.
Deadlines usually run from the date of the harm or its discovery, and many exceptions apply. A lawyer can tell you how they apply to you.
