In 1975, Indiana passed a new Medical Malpractice Act. It was at the time, and it remains, one of the toughest malpractice laws in the country for patients. Indiana’s Medical Malpractice Act places significant burdens on patients seeking to recover for injuries suffered as a result of negligent medical care. The Act also places tight restrictions on the recovery available to malpractice victims.

Because of the obstacles created by Indiana’s Medical Malpractice Act, patients injured as a result of medical errors in Indiana need a lawyer and a law firm with the experience and resources necessary to achieve success.
