Q. Question about obtaining medical records from the Hospital when someone has passed away
A: Assuming no personal representative has been appointed for your father's estate, your mother is entitled under Indiana law to obtain the records. Below is the code cite/law that supports your mother's right to obtain the records. (Sometimes medical providers will require an affidavit or other proof that no personal representative has been appointed and that the person requesting is the spouse before releasing the records).

Indiana Code 16-39-1-3

Request for patient's health records; who may request

(a) Health records may be requested by a competent patient if the patient is:

(1) emancipated and less than eighteen (18) years of age; or (2) at least eighteen (18) years of age.

(b) If a patient is incompetent, the request for health records may be made by the parent, guardian, or custodian of the patient.

(c) Health records of a deceased patient may be requested: (1) by a coroner under IC 36-2-14-21 or by the personal representative of the patient's estate; (2) if the estate of the deceased patient does not have a personal representative, by the spouse of the deceased patient; (3) if the deceased patient does not have a surviving spouse and the deceased patient's estate does not have a personal representative, by: (A) a child of the deceased patient; or (B) the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child of the deceased patient if the child of the deceased patient is incompetent; (4) if the deceased patient was an incapacitated person for whom a guardian had been appointed under IC 29-3 or the law of another state, by the guardian of the deceased patient, except as provided in subsection (d); or (5) if the deceased patient does not have a surviving spouse or child, and the deceased patient's estate does not have a personal representative, by any responsible member of the family.

(d) If: (1) the deceased patient was an incapacitated person subject to a guardianship at the time of the patient's death; and (2) a personal representative of the estate of the deceased patient is appointed under IC 29-1-7; the guardian of the deceased patient may not request health records of the deceased patient under subsection (c)(4).

Q. indiana subrogation lien from WC, 3rd party fault ( car accident) what is included in the lien? pay & medical?
A: I would also recommend that you contact an attorney familiar with worker's compensation and third-party claims. However, you can view one of the applicable Indiana code sections by visiting this website: http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2019/ic/titles/022#22-3-2-13. Indiana Code 22-3-2-13 provides that worker's compensation liens be reduced by a pro-rata share of costs and expenses in procuring a third-party settlement and attorney's fees (25% pre-suit, 33 1/3% after filing suit).
Q. My teen was sexually assaulted, the person was been caught and charged.
A: Thank you for posting your question. I am very sorry to hear about what happened to your daughter. To answer your question, yes, I think you would be able to find a lawyer to assist you, and certainly, at the least, to advise you on possible legal remedies, one of which may be an action under Indiana Code §§ 34-21.5-1-1 to 34-21.5-3-4. Indiana Code § 34-21.5-3-1 provides for a cause of action when an intimate image of a depicted individual is created or obtained under certain circumstances and disclosed to a third party with intent to harass, intimidate, threaten, coerce, embarrass, gain profit at the expense of, or cause physical or financial injury or serious emotional distress to the depicted person when the person making the disclosure knows or acted in reckless disregard to whether the depicted individual was identifiable in the intimate image and did not consent to the disclosure to the third party. Under Indiana Code § 34-21.5-3-2, damages may include (1) the greater of economic and noneconomic damages caused, including damages for emotional distress, or statutory damages not to exceed $10,000.00 against each liable defendant; (2) an amount equal to any monetary gain made by the defendant from the disclosure, (3) punitive damages, and (4) reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and additional relief, such as injunctive relief. ...
