What should an injured person do next?
If you are hurt in an attack, get medical care first and follow the treatment plan. Keep the police case number, copies of medical bills, and records of missed work. Write down what you remember, including the time, exact location, and anyone who saw what happened, while the details are still fresh. This guide to preserving witness information explains why prompt documentation can matter.
If an insurance company asks for a recorded statement or broad medical authorization, take time to understand the request before responding. You can review this plain-language guide to recorded statements and medical releases.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This stabbing happened in South Bend, in St. Joseph County. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case and does not depend on whether charges are filed. You can read more in this guide to Indiana injury claim deadlines.
