Medical Malpractice
Fort Wayne and all of Indiana
Anytime we entrust our health and well being to the opinions of a physician, it is naturally assumed that their expert opinion and diagnosis will be keeping in the standard of their professional peers. Sadly, however, medical malpractice is an American epidemic, resulting in catastrophic personal injury and death of innocent people.
Holding Negligent Parties Accountable
From the ambulance to a post-surgery consultation, anytime you are in a physician’s care within the state of Indiana, they are required by law to uphold their professional responsibilities.
If you suspect negligence on the part of your physician, the medical malpractice attorneys at Truitt Law Offices will fully investigate your claim and hold all parties accountable for their actions in a court of law. Common situations that may result in medical malpractice include:
- A surgeon’s decision to delay or not conduct surgery
- Surgical error in the operating room
- A physician’s misdiagnosis/delayed diagnoses of an otherwise treatable disease
- Emergency room errors, whether due to a desk clerk forcing you to wait hours without being seen
- An anesthesiologist administering the wrong type of anesthesia or failing to monitor vital signs
- A physician’s neglect resulting in a birth injury
Compensation From Medical Malpractice
If you or a loved one has sustained an injury due to a physician’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages, which may include:
- Related medical expenses
- Loss of wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Diminished quality of life
- Loss of companionship
- Pain and suffering
Ensuring Your Full Compensation
Indiana medical malpractice attorney, Richard Truitt, has more than 30 years of experience representing catastrophically injured clients. He understands the worth of your case and has the grit and determination to fight for your full compensation against the intimidation tactics of insurance companies and hospitals.
Even with thirty years of experience, successfully litigating a medical malpractice lawsuit is a difficult task, as it requires proving three essential facts:
- The negligent party has a standard of care to uphold
- This standard was not upheld by the physician
- A consequence of the physician’s negligence was serious personal injury to an individual
Frequently in medical malpractice lawsuits, obstacles arise obscuring the path to justice, such as coworkers refusing to testify, destruction of medical records, and statute of limitations, which is why it is essential to contact a medical malpractice attorney immediately upon suspicion of negligence.
