Indiana Court of Appeals
Hannah Janowiak v. Kenneth Sandage and The Trustees of Purdue University
No. 25A-CT-2937
Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Kurt Eisgruber. The court affirmed the trial court’s decision, which dismissed Janowiak’s negligence claim against Sandhage and granted summary judgment for Purdue. Janowiak had initially sued Sandhage after being struck by his car, later amending her complaint to include Purdue as a defendant based on Sandhage’s admission that he was acting within the scope of his employment during the incident. However, the court ruled that Janowiak’s claims were barred under the Indiana Tort Claims Act due to her failure to provide timely notice of her claim to Purdue, which was required within 180 days of the injury. The court concluded that Janowiak did not substantially comply with this requirement and that Purdue was entitled to summary judgment. Judge Kenworthy authored the opinion, with Judges Bradford and Pyle concurring. Appellant’s attorney: Sarah Graziano, Hensley Legal Group PC, Fishers, Indiana. Attorneys for appellee Kenneth Sandage: John W. Mervilde and Kevin D. Lichtenberger, Schultz & Pogue LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana. Attorneys for the appellees Trustees of Purdue University: Barry L. Loftus and Danielle K. Fortin, Stuart & Branigin LLP, Lafayette, Indiana.
