Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana
Tort Law
Could you please give me information on Indiana's 150 day and 180 day statues. I know that with an auto accident you have to put whoever maintians that road on notice. After I find out who maintains a road who should I put on notice?

Re: Tort Law
You are referring to the Indiana Tort Claims Act that requires written notice to a government entity withing 180 days of the harm. DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS YOURSELF. It is very technical. It must comply in detail with the statute exactly. And if your notice lacks anything required by the statute, you are barred from bringing suit. Hire a lawyer to do this.
