What injured people should do next
If you are hurt by another person's actions, get medical care first and keep records of treatment, bills, and missed work. Ask the investigating police agency how to obtain its report. The firm's guide to evidence in an Indiana injury claim also explains why records and other available proof may matter.
Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your options. Insurance companies may aggressively defend a claim, particularly when responsibility or the available evidence is hotly contested.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This shooting happened in Indianapolis, in Marion County. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives or does business. Who may be responsible depends on facts that have not been reported here. Nothing in this article suggests that a property owner or business is at fault.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[2]. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[3].
