Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana
Parental Imunity
Can an adult son who lives in another state pursue a guest passenger injury claim against his father in Indiana? Is there a Code section dealing with this issue? The son is 30 years old, married, lives hundreds of miles away, and was visiting father at time of accident.

Re: Parental Imunity
If the accident was in Tennessee, you may sue your parent under Tennessee law. There is a one year statute of limitations on personal injury claims arising in Tennessee.
