Q. Involved in a 7-car pileup due to field burning; is suing an option?

April 17, 2025

A: In Reece v. Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., 173 N.E.3d 1031 (Ind. 2021), the Indiana Supreme Court adopted the following rule: landowners owe a duty to passing motorists on adjacent highways not to create hazardous conditions that visit themselves upon the roadway; but when a land use or condition that may impose a visual obstruction is wholly contained on a landowner’s property, there is no duty to the traveling public.

February 13, 2023

A: Assuming no personal representative has been appointed for your father's estate, your mother is entitled under Indiana law to obtain the records. Below is the code cite/law that supports your mother's right to obtain the records. (Sometimes medical providers will require an affidavit or other proof that no personal representative has been appointed and that the person requesting is the spouse before releasing the records).

Indiana Code 16-39-1-3

Request for patient's health records; who may request

(a) Health records may be requested by a competent patient if the patient is:

(1) emancipated and less than eighteen (18) years of age; or (2) at least eighteen (18) years of age.

(b) If a patient is incompetent, the request for health records may be made by the parent, guardian, or custodian of the patient.

(c) Health records of a deceased patient may be requested: (1) by a coroner under IC 36-2-14-21 or by the personal representative of the patient's estate; (2) if the estate of the deceased patient does not have a personal representative, by the spouse of the deceased patient; (3) if the deceased patient does not have a surviving spouse and the deceased patient's estate does not have a personal representative, by: (A) a child of the deceased patient; or (B) the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child of the deceased patient if the child of the deceased patient is incompetent; (4) if the deceased patient was an incapacitated person for whom a guardian had been appointed under IC 29-3 or the law of another state, by the guardian of the deceased patient, except as provided in subsection (d); or (5) if the deceased patient does not have a surviving spouse or child, and the deceased patient's estate does not have a personal representative, by any responsible member of the family.

Q. indiana subrogation lien from WC, 3rd party fault ( car accident) what is included in the lien? pay & medical?

April 7, 2020

A: I would also recommend that you contact an attorney familiar with worker's compensation and third-party claims. However, you can view one of the applicable Indiana code sections by visiting this website: http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2019/ic/titles/022#22-3-2-13. Indiana Code 22-3-2-13 provides that worker's compensation liens be reduced by a pro-rata share of costs and expenses in procuring a third-party settlement and attorney's fees (25% pre-suit, 33 1/3% after filing suit).
