Court: Indiana Supreme Court
Date: September 15, 2025
Author: Justice Loretta Rush
County of Origin: Marion
Category: Civil
Decision: Affirmed
Justice Goff and Justice Molter concur. Justice Massa and Justice Slaughter dissent
We review the tragic facts
of this case under one such circumstance to determine whether a jury
verdict was clearly erroneous as contrary to or unsupported by the
evidence.
Here, a pedestrian trying to board an IndyGo bus fell into the road as
the bus left a curbside stop, was run over, and died of his injuries. The
pedestrian’s mother, on behalf of his estate, filed a wrongful death lawsuit
against IndyGo alleging negligence.
