How federal and Indiana claims work together
A single unwanted call or text can support more than one claim. The federal TCPA addresses how the communication was placed, including autodialed calls, prerecorded and artificial-voice messages, and calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Indiana Telephone Privacy Act and the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act address conduct under Indiana law and can add remedies. Federal TCPA statutory damages of $500-$1,500; state penalties are recoverable by the Attorney General.
