What injured people should do next
If you are hurt in an assault, get medical care and keep your treatment records, bills, and proof of missed work. Ask the Evansville Police Department for the police report number. Organizing this material can help you prepare for a personal injury consultation.
Indiana has a crime victim compensation program, and the police or prosecutor's office can explain how to apply. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your options. You can review what to consider before giving an insurer a recorded statement.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
The reported fight happened in the 1300 block of North 3rd Avenue in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, and the Evansville Police Department responded. A civil case would usually be filed in the county where the incident happened or where a defendant lives.
When an assault happens at a business, questions sometimes arise about security or whether alcohol was served. No source has said this incident happened at a business. General information about claims involving property security is available in the firm's guide to Indiana negligent-security claims.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. The applicable deadline can depend on the facts, so waiting can put evidence and legal rights at risk.
