What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is a lawsuit claim resulting from a medical provider’s mistake. This mistake can come in the form of the misdiagnosis of an illness, an incorrect treatment of a patient, or a mistake in a surgical procedure. Medical malpractice claims against health professionals in Indiana must be conducted within the laws enacted by the Indiana General Assembly. This malpractice system controls any malpractice claim above $15,000. Working within the system of law requires proper medical advising in order to properly submit cases within the channels of the law.

What Can You Do?

We place a lot of trust in our medical personnel and unfortunately sometimes these professionals make mistakes. Healthcare is a complex field, and often several people will attend and address your health during the course of even a common procedure or surgery. Mistakes can happen by doctors, nurses and other medical staff that attend to you. Making a claim is a complicated process and proving the wrongdoing can be complex and hard to do. Fortunately, Riley Williams & Piatt have extensive and notable experience in medical malpractice cases and a proven track record of success in these types of cases.

Indiana state law requires that cases are submitted within a specific time schedule and under specific submission guidelines. Following the procedures and timelines are integral to the success of a case – and individuals require a certified litigator to assist with all the procedures and deadlines involved.
