INDIANA MEDICAL MALPRACTICE REFORM LEADER

Indiana has complex laws governing medical malpractice. But did you know Indiana was at the forefront of medical malpractice reform? According to the Indiana State Medical Association, Indiana was the first state in the United States to enact comprehensive malpractice reforms. This happened in 1975, and other states soon followed suit. Indiana Compensation Act for Patients (INCAP) attempts to find an equilibrium between the needs of doctors for affordable liability insurance premiums and the needs of patients.

If you think you or someone you know is the victim of medical malpractice, you should seek the advice of an experienced Indiana attorney. Dealing with the all the laws and insurance forms can be challenging, so it's best to contact an Indiana injury attorney for a FREE consultation.
