Indiana Supreme Court
Cave Quarries, Inc. v. Warex LLC
24S‐CT‐39
Civil tort. Affirms the Orange Circuit Court’s denial of Cave Quarries’ motion for summary judgment. Finds Indiana law has long treated blasting as an abnormally dangerous activity subject to strict liability for damage to neighbors and bystanders. Also finds the court does not extend strict liability for blasting damage to a customer who participated in the blasting by hiring the defendant to conduct the explosion. Remands for the trial court to enter judgment for Warex and against Cave Quarries on count one of Cave Quarries’ complaint for damages alleging a strict liability claim, and to proceed on Cave Quarries’ negligence claim in count two.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Nina Cahill and Kenneth S. Davis v. Charity Davis, Baptist Healthcare System, Inc., and Baptist Health Medical Group, Inc.
23A-PL-1682
Civil plenary. Affirms the Floyd Circuit Court’s grant of summary judgment to Baptist Healthcare Systems and Baptist Health Medical Group, Inc. Finds Nina Cahill and Kenneth Davis had the burden to demonstrate they could avoid the statute of limitations for a claim sounding in “ordinary negligence,’ failed to cite the tolling statute in the trial court and failed to provide cogent argument regarding why a tolling provision from the Medical Malpractice Act should toll the statute of limitations for a lawsuit that asserts only claims of ordinary negligence. Also finds Baptist made a prima facie showing that it was entitled to summary judgment because the plaintiffs failed to file their ordinary negligence actions against Baptist within the two-year statute of limitations period for negligence actions.
