A damages cap is set in Indiana of 1,250,000.  This means the max amount you can get is just over a million dollars, which is pretty low compared to other states.   The cap in Indiana hasn't been raised in 17 years and there is talk to move the cap up to over 2 million, which needs to happen to keep pace with inflation.
