Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana

In Indiana, employers can generally fire a person for "good reason, bad reason or no reason at all." It is an "at-will" state which generally means that the employer is free to fire a person any time for any reason. The only exceptions to this are if the employee has a written contract for a specific term of employment or which guarantees that the employee won't be fired for less than "good cause." The other limited exceptions have to do with race, age or gender discrimination. The statute of limitations for a wrongful discharge would typically be two years in Indiana, although could be otherwise depending on the specific circumstances.
