No. 91S02-0111-CV-594.

768 N.E.2d 885 (2002)

FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Appellant (Intervenor Below), v. Wayne SCHLUTTENHOFER, Chantel Schluttenhofer, Appellees (Plaintiffs Below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

May 23, 2002.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steve Carter, Attorney General of Indiana, Christopher L. LaFuse, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellant.

Charles R. Vaughan, Linda H. Havel, Lafayette, IN, Attorneys for Appellees.

ON PETITION TO TRANSFER

BOEHM, Justice.

This case addresses the meaning of the word "claim," as it is used in Indiana's lien reduction statute. We hold that each claim to which a lien holder asserts subrogation rights must be evaluated independently of others that might arise from an injury. That was not done here. Therefore, we grant transfer and remand with instructions to reduce FSSA's lien to $15,324.52.
