Common Law Duty Regarding Road Conditions
Many automobile and truck accidents occur each year in Indiana, at least in part, because of dangerous road conditions. Therefore, a Indiana car accident lawyer is familiar with naming government officials as defendants in such lawsuits where personal injury or property damage occurs. When identifying which officials or government entities to name in a lawsuit it has long been necessary to consider both what common law duties certain government officials have, along with issues of statutory sovereign immunity under the Indiana Tort Claims Act.
