Indiana Supreme Court
Richard Dolsen, Jr. v. VeoRide, Inc., and Sweet Real Estate-City Center, LLC
24S-CT-225
Civil tort. Reverses the Allen Superior Court’s order granting summary judgment for VeoRide, Inc. and dismissing Richard Dolsen’s claims. Finds that the first-responder’s rule from Babes Showclub, Jaba, Inc. v. Lair does not bar his claim and Dolsen does not allege that the negligence that caused his injuries also caused the fire to which he was responding. Also finds disputed factual issues remain on whether defendant VeoRide, Inc., breached its duty to Dolsen, a licensee on its premises. Remands for further proceedings.

Remands with instructions to transfer the case to the superior court’s plenary docket.
