Let an experienced Indiana medical malpractice lawyer take a stand on your behalf. If you or a loved one was harmed because of the negligence of a healthcare provider, we will wage a battle on your behalf, and take an aggressive stand.
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a legal term used to describe the careless or negligent behavior of medical professionals. Specifically, attorneys often use this term to describe the actions - or inactions - of a surgeon, doctor, nurse or another professional that resulted in an injury.
Various federal and state laws in Indiana govern the conduct of medical professionals. They are legally bound to adhere to these codes of conduct in order to protect the health and well-being of patients.
Proving that a health care professional broke these laws often demands a rigorous investigation. That's why we strongly urge injury victims to contact us as soon as possible. That way, we can start searching for the evidence while the facts are still fresh in people's minds.
What are common medical malpractice cases in Indiana?
There are many different types of medical malpractice cases. These cases include:
- Negligent prenatal care
- Childbirth injuries
- Delay of treatment
- Anesthesia errors
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
Should I file a medical malpractice lawsuit to resolve my case?
It depends. Every medical malpractice case is different. In some cases, filing a medical malpractice lawsuit might be the best solution to your legal problems. But other legal options often exist. That's why it's important to learn about them before deciding what to do.
Be aware that medical malpractice lawsuits can be complicated and lead to contentious legal battles involving big insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and their attorneys. Fortunately, you won't have to deal with aggressive insurance companies or combative attorneys. That's our job - and we excel at it!
