Medical Negligence and Malpractice Attorneys — Evansville, Louisville and Indianapolis

When you entrust your health and well-being to medical professionals, you expect appropriate treatment and competent care. But every year thousands are harmed by negligent medical care, and serious personal injuries — even death — can result. The medical malpractice and negligence attorneys at Gerling Law in Louisville, Indianapolis, and Evansville have extensive experience in handling medical malpractice cases. If you have been injured by the negligent care of medical professionals, we can help you receive the compensation you need to move on with your life.

Causes of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can include virtually any mistake or negligent action performed by a medical professional or facility. Medical professionals are obligated, both ethically and legally, to follow a strict standard of care. Medical malpractice is the failure of medical professionals or a medical facility to exercise adequate care or skill in performing a duty. The medical malpractice and negligence attorneys at our law offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, and Evansville commonly handle malpractice cases including the following issues:

  • Medication errors
  • Improper diagnosis or failure to diagnose
  • Lack of informed consent
  • Mistakes during surgery
  • Medical instruments left inside the body after surgery
  • Errors in prenatal diagnostic testing
  • Abandonment — failure to attend to a patient
  • Below standard treatment or incorrectly performed treatment

Unsuccessful results from medical treatment do not necessarily constitute medical malpractice; an element of carelessness or negligence by the medical professional must be involved. The medical malpractice attorneys at our Indianapolis, Evansville, and Louisville offices can review your case to determine if your injuries resulted from medical malpractice and if you are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering.

Medical Malpractice Injuries

The majority of the medical malpractice cases that our attorneys handle involve some type of personal injury. In some cases, the injuries from medical malpractice can result in serious personal injury. Errors during medical procedures can cause spinal cord injury, and brain injury can be caused by a loss of oxygen to the brain during medical treatment. These serious injuries can leave a victim permanently disabled and unable to support themselves.

Wrongful Death Resulting from Medical Negligence

Unfortunately, the mistakes or negligent actions of medical professionals can often be fatal for the patients who are in their care. When a fatality does occur due to malpractice or negligence, the loved ones of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation. If you have lost a loved one due to medical malpractice or negligence, our attorneys in Louisville, Indianapolis, and Evansville can help you through the process of filing a wrongful death claim.

How Our Medical Malpractice Attorneys Can Help

Medical malpractice cases can be difficult and time consuming, requiring dedication and compassion on the part of your attorney. Typically, medical records will need to be reviewed by a medical expert to determine if your injuries were caused by medical malpractice or negligence. The medical malpractice and negligence attorneys at our law offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, and Evansville can help you through the process by handling the details — so that you can concentrate on returning to health.
