A:
To sue the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) for the loss of your company and the mistreatment you experienced, start by gathering all your evidence, including medical records from Wellstone Regional Hospital and any documentation of your malnutrition and PTSD diagnosis. This evidence is crucial for proving your claims in court.
Next, you should file a formal complaint with the IDOC to document your grievances. This step is important as it shows you have attempted to resolve the issue internally before taking legal action. Keep copies of all correspondence related to your complaint for your records.
Finally, consult with an attorney who has experience with cases involving prison conditions and civil rights violations. They can help you navigate the legal process, file your lawsuit, and represent your interests in court. It's essential to act promptly due to potential statutes of limitations on such claims.
