What should accident victims do next?
If you are hurt in a crash, get medical care and follow up. Keep your medical records, photos and crash report number.

For drivers on rural county roads, the reported rollover is a reminder to slow down on loose or uneven surfaces and in curves, keep tires in good condition, and wear a seat belt on every trip.
Why location matters in Indiana injury claims
This crash happened on a county road in Jay County. In general, a civil case is filed in the county where a crash happened or where a defendant lives, and the agency that writes the crash report determines where that report is requested. No source has reported a road defect, and this article does not suggest that anyone has a claim against anyone else.
Indiana divides fault under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent recovers nothing; otherwise, any recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. You can read a plain-language explanation of Indiana's comparative fault rule. Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4, although the facts can affect which deadlines apply.
