for a win before the Indiana Supreme Court in Indiana Spine Group v. Pilot Travel Centers, LLC. Colin worked with Fred Emhardt and Shelley Jackson on this case, which, correct me if I'm wrong, Colin, did not have anything to do with environmental law. We do a lot of environmental law, but we do a lot of other stuff too. Instead, it was about a topic which will no doubt have all of our non-lawyer readers rushing to click on the link, the statute of limitations applicable to health care providers under Indiana's Worker's Compensation statute.
That may not sound scintillating, but I went to the oral argument, handled beautifully by Fred, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Health care providers had provided services to injured workers, but filed claims outside of the alleged 2-year statute of limitations, which runs from the date of the accident. The Supreme Court held that that statute applies only to the injured worker, not to the providers. The providers get the 10-year, catch-all statute that applies to anything that doens't otherwise have a statute of limitations. Way to go Colin, Fred, and Shelley!
Sean, thanks for the post and kind words. You are right, this case had nothing to do with environmental law, but it was litigation and complex so it hits a couple of the words in our subtitle.
