MEDICAL MALPRACTICE REFORM IS CALM IN INDIANA BUT NOT ELSEWHERE
Indiana lawmakers are not currently debating Medical Malpractice and Medical Negligence reform, but lawmakers in several other states including Montana are looking into the issue.
As reported by www.KRTV.com in the article, "MT Legislature Takes up Medical Malpractice Issue," a hotly contested bill requires patients to present clear and convincing proof that medical malpractice happened. In addition, the legislation also states that if doctors record their reason for not ordering a test, then they are protected from civil lawsuits.
Indiana's Medical Malpractice Act has been in place for more than three decades. The Indiana State Medical Association details its components and how it affects both doctors and patients. For example, the Medical Malpractice Act stipulates that patients must file a medical malpractice or medical negligence claim within two years from when the suspected malpractice or negligence happened.
