Asset Protection

As an asset protection lawyer at our firm can tell you, it’s important to protect everything you’ve worked so hard for — that includes your body and health! According to a medical malpractice lawyer in Indianapolis, IN, it’s important to know about medical malpractice. What constitutes medical malpractice? Neglect, abuse, or misdiagnosis by a medical professional can be defined as medical malpractice. While each case is unique, and the impact it has on the victim, certain checks of accountability are in place to protect the medical professional as well as the patient involved.

Where can medical malpractice take place? Medical malpractice can take place anywhere medical professionals are and work. Hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, nursing homes, and residential homes are places where medical malpractice has been reported.

Are doctors the only ones who can injure, harm, or neglect their patients? Unfortunately no, medical professionals of all kinds can mistreat their patients. For example, hospital staff, nurses, therapists, doctors, surgeons, and paramedics are all able and capable of harming their patients.

Are medical professionals under a code of ethics or held to accountability? Yes, when doctors for example are ready to practice medicine, they take an oath swearing to do no harm to their patients. Accountability is important in the medical field as it protects patients and their care providers.

What happens if a victim chooses not to report their medical abuse or neglect? If a victim does not report medical malpractice, other innocent lives may be negatively affected, as the medical professional may continue their misconduct with other patients.

What should a patient do if they feel as though they have experienced medical malpractice? The patient should contact a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible if they suspect neglect or harm has occurred. Experienced attorneys such as those at Ward & Ward Law Firm counsel clients as to whether or not they have a medical malpractice case worth pursuing.  The legal process can seem overwhelming and confusing for some. Thankfully, lawyers are there to help every step of the way, supporting their clients and answering any and all questions they may have. Whether the medical malpractice case settles outside of court, or an official lawsuit leads to court, a wise attorney will guide their client, supporting their needs, and fight for the best outcome available.

Medical malpractice can take place in any age group. Unfortunately, some choose to neglect or prey upon the elderly community because they believe they are the least likely to report medical malpractice. If neglect or abuse is occurring in an elderly person’s home they may feel hesitant to report it since they may fear losing their only care provider or housing situation. Safety is of the utmost importance to medical malpractice lawyers, and they will ensure that their clients are well taken care of, and placed in safe, nurturing environments as soon as possible. If you think a loved one is experiencing medical malpractice of any kind, contact an attorney today. Don’t let neglect, misdiagnosis, surgical error, or prescription mishap prevent you from pursuing accountability, justice, and compensation.
