What happened near North Fulton Avenue

Two men have been charged after a man was stabbed and hit with a bat in Evansville on Tuesday night, November 3, 2026, according to WFIE 14 News[1].

An injured man ran into a Dollar General in the 1100 block of North Fulton Avenue at about 8:40 p.m. and asked for help. WFIE 14 News reported that he had a stab wound to the lower left abdomen and was reportedly hit in the left thigh with a baseball bat. He was hospitalized and has not been named.

Evansville police charged brothers Kenneth Lowry and Devery Orr with battery with a deadly weapon and intimidation with a deadly weapon. Both deny involvement. The charges are allegations, and both men are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. No source has suggested fault by the store, which the injured man entered after he was hurt. This account comes from one source, and the Evansville Police Department investigation is ongoing.

What you can do after an assault

If you are hurt in an assault, get medical care and keep records of every visit and bill. Ask police for the case number, and contact the prosecutor's victim assistance office for updates on the criminal case. Indiana also has a Violent Crime Victims Compensation Fund that can help with some medical and related costs.

You can organize the incident report, medical records, bills, and insurance information before a legal consultation. This personal injury consultation checklist explains which records may be useful, and the firm's personal injury resources provide additional general information.

Why location and deadlines matter

This incident happened in the 1100 block of North Fulton Avenue in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, and the Evansville Police Department is investigating. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives.

Most injury claims in Indiana 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 criminal case and a civil claim are separate, and the civil deadline keeps running while a criminal case moves forward. A general explanation of these issues is available in the firm's guide to Indiana personal injury cases.

Working with Delventhal Law

Common questions

How fees work, deadlines that matter, and what to expect when you call.

  1. How much does it cost to hire Delventhal Law Office?

    There is no up-front cost. Personal-injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. Call (260) 484-6655 to talk through your situation.

  2. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Indiana?

    Indiana generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (Indiana Code § 34-11-2-4). Shorter deadlines can apply when a government entity is involved or in some workers' compensation matters. The sooner you call, the more options you have.

  3. What if I'm partly at fault for the accident?

    Indiana follows a modified comparative-fault rule (Indiana Code § 34-51-2-6). You can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Even if you think you share blame, call us — the insurance company's first assignment of fault is often wrong.

  4. Do I have to come into the office to meet with you?

    No. We meet clients by phone, video call, at their home, or at the hospital. The Delventhal Law Office is in downtown Fort Wayne, but most of our clients live across Indiana and we come to you when that's easier.

  5. How quickly should I call after an accident?

    As soon as you can. Evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance video is overwritten, witnesses move on. Insurance adjusters also start calling within days. Talking to us before you give a recorded statement protects your claim.

  6. What kinds of cases does Delventhal Law handle?

    We represent injured plaintiffs in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents; workers' compensation and on-the-job injuries; wrongful death; slip-and-fall and premises liability; birth injuries; burn injuries; and other personal-injury claims across Indiana.
