Clarence Lowe v. Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District
21S-CT-295
Civil tort. Affirms the grant of summary judgment to the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District against Clarence Lowe. Finds the district is a political subdivision under the Indiana Tort Claims Act, so it was entitled to notice within 180 days of Lowe’s alleged injury. Also finds that because Lowe did not provide notice until 263 days after his injury, his notice was untimely and his suit is time-barred.
