Indiana Code - Civil Law and Procedure - Title 34, Section 34-51-2-15

Nonparty defense; burden of proof

Sec. 15. The burden of proof of a nonparty defense is upon the
defendant, who must affirmatively plead the defense. However, this
chapter does not relieve the claimant of the burden of proving that
fault on the part of the defendant or defendants caused, in whole or
in part, the damages of the claimant.
