Court of Appeals of Indiana
Indiana State Police and State of Indiana v. The Estate of Michael M. Damore
21A-CT-2536
Civil tort. Reverses a ruling in favor of the Estate of Michael M. Damore, who was killed in a vehicle accident involving Indiana State Police. Finds the Lake Superior Court abused its discretion by excluding evidence of Michael’s driving behavior in the minutes before the collision and by striking the entirety of the defendant’s expert’s testimony based on a minor violation of the motion in limine that posed no serious risk of prejudice to the estate. Finds the trial court erred in failing to give some of the defendant’s propose jury instructions. Finally, concludes that insufficient evidence was presented to establish that Michael’s mother was his dependent for purposes of the General Wrongful Death Statute, and her recovery must therefore be limited to the amounts permitted by the Adult Wrongful Death Statute.
