A thorough and skillful examination of medical records often proves to be a valuable piece of evidence in achieving a favorable outcome in a medical malpractice case.

In medical malpractice cases, the negligent healthcare provider isn’t always a doctor or nurse. The negligent party could be a physical therapist, a lab worker, a technician operating medical equipment, or someone interpreting test results, to name just a few. A company or clinic may also be held liable for medical malpractice. It is not uncommon for a hospital, clinic, pharmacy, nursing home, or ambulance company to be involved in a malpractice claim.
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider causes injury to a patient by failing to provide them with acceptable care. Typically, if a healthcare provider fails to act or acts differently than how health professionals with comparable training would have reasonably acted, the healthcare provider may be liable for any resulting injuries to the patient. In the majority of medical malpractice cases, the medical error that occurred was either a negligent act or failure to act.
Physicians and other health care providers owe a duty to their patients to practice medicine with the care and skill possessed by any reasonable doctor under the same circumstances. Their duty of care is breached when they fail to live up to this standard. We at Chapman Injury Lawyers are ready to hold negligent Indiana medical professionals and establishments accountable.
