MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INDIANA

Like in many other jurisdictions, Indiana holds medical professionals to a high standard of care; medical malpractice occurs when that standard is violated, leading to harm or death. Before they can treat, diagnose, prescribe, or provide advice to patients, all healthcare professionals—doctor, surgeon, dentist, nurse, psychiatrist, hospital, surgical center, and pharmacist—must undertake rigorous education and training. In most cases, the level of care that another competent doctor would have given in a similar scenario is used to assess their decisions.

A free consultation is offered by the Trial Attorneys of Viper Law Group if you or a loved one has been hurt as a result of medical provider malpractice in Indiana.
Types of Medical Malpractice cases in Indiana may include:

1. Surgical errors
2. Misdiagnosis of cancer
3. Failure to diagnose disease or injury
4. Radiation injuries
5. Anesthesia errors
6. Emergency room errors
7. Procedure errors
8. Hospital/Surgery Center errors

Although these examples are typical of medical malpractice cases, it’s important to remember that other scenarios can also qualify as such. Decisions made by medical professionals are subject to intense scrutiny because of the weight of their responsibilities and the risk they pose to patients. In medicine, the end goal is never to hurt or kill the patient; rather, it is to improve their health or condition. It is unfortunate that medical misconduct can cause serious, long-lasting, or even deadly injuries.
