REPRESENTING HOOSIER MOTORISTS DAMAGED BY 2014 REPAIRS TO STATE ROAD 67

What is the INDOT class action?

Beginning in 2014, the State of Indiana Department of Transportation began a "chip and seal" project on Indiana State Road 67 throughout parts of Morgan County. During the course of and immediately after the project, many vehicles were damaged.

On July 22, 2016, Eric Rogers filed suit against the State of Indiana on behalf of himself and all other persons similarly situated, claiming that the State of Indiana's chip and seal project resulted in damage to his vehicle. Rogers' vehicle was damaged in September of 2014, and he timely complied with Indiana's tort claim notice statute by submitting a tort claim to the Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

On February 9, 2017, Morgan Superior Court No. 1 held a hearing regarding whether the class should be certified. On February 20, 2017, the Court issued an order allowing the lawsuit to be a Class action on behalf of the people to whom this notice is directed.
