Medical malpractice is one of the worst violations anyone can suffer. Individuals trust doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to “do no harm” and provide the appropriate care for the situation. Malpractice lawsuits can potentially cost jobs, medical licenses, and could lead to criminal investigations. For victims, medical malpractice could result in severe and permanent injury, and might even result in death.

If you suspect that malpractice has occurred, you should seek help from an Indianapolis medical malpractice lawyer for assistance. A an attorney specializing in personal injury in Indianapolis could help you seek justice and the compensation you need to move forward.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is the inadvertent or intentional breakdown of medical care on the part of a medical professional. A wide array of medical care issues may fall under the umbrella of medical malpractice. Many individuals may remain unaware of the medical malpractice they’ve experienced until long after the situation has occurred. Some medical professionals go so far as covering up their malpractice and/or tricking the patient into believing what occurred was both lawful and ethical.

Common instances of malpractice include:

  • Surgical errors
  • Prescription errors
  • Improper diagnoses
  • Incorrect diagnoses
  • Ignoring a patient’s needs
  • Ordering an improper treatment plan
  • A lack of informed consent

If someone believes they have experienced malpractice due to a negligent medical professional, they should file a complaint against the physician and reach out to an attorney.

Who Can be Found Guilty of Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice can occur across the medical field at any time. Most people believe that doctors alone are capable of malpractice. However, this is not the case. Anyone on this list can be guilty of medical malpractice, including:

  • Nurses
  • Therapists
  • Pharmacists
  • Medical assistants
  • Phlebotomists
  • Medical technicians
  • Medical facility management
  • Nursing homes


How to Seek Compensation For Damages

When a person files a claim for medical malpractice, they are seeking damages that allow them to resume their lives as normally as possible. Compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit generally includes medical expenses incurred by the plaintiff due to the alleged malpractice. The patient may require further treatment, and a medical expert will testify to how much medical care is required to reach maximum recovery.

The injured party likely missed work due to the alleged malpractice, and they can recover lost wages. If the injured individual is rendered unable to work or generate as much income as they need, an Indianapolis medical malpractice lawyer seeks damages to cover the difference in earnings.

The injured patient may recover damages for their pain and suffering, including any physical pain or discomfort they encounter. Additionally, the injured party is eligible for damages covering emotional distress. Suffering through medical trauma can leave the victim emotionally depleted, suffering from anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental health conditions.

Can Families File a Lawsuit on Behalf of a Loved One?

Families may file a claim for medical malpractice when their loved one is left disabled or incapacitated. If the family wishes to proceed, they must possess a durable power of attorney allowing them to file legal action on behalf of a loved one. Additionally, families may file a wrongful death lawsuit alleging medical malpractice when they lose a loved one.
