We help victims of emergency room mistakes get answers, accountability, and compensation.
With over 100 years of combined experience, our legal team focuses exclusively on medical malpractice cases in Indiana. Our expert Valparaiso emergency room lawyer understands how hospital emergency departments operate and where they often fall short. Our attorneys prepare every case for trial from day one, working with medical experts to uncover negligence and build claims that stand up in court.

Consultations are free, and you won’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case.
When ER mistakes lead to serious harm, the legal and medical issues are often buried in incomplete records, inconsistent timelines, and vague chart notes. We focus on sorting out those details fast before evidence disappears or providers start shifting blame.
Our experienced attorneys coordinate directly with independent specialists to identify exactly where emergency protocols were missed. We analyze staffing decisions, response times, discharge notes, and medication records to build a case that makes medical errors impossible to ignore.
Behind every emergency room malpractice case is a story the hospital does not want to tell. Our job is to uncover it and use it to secure justice.
When emergency room negligence is suspected, timing is critical. Key evidence like diagnostic scans, triage assessments, and treatment records can be lost, altered, or restricted the longer a case sits idle.
A fast legal response helps preserve the facts and protect your claim from the start. That’s why we begin casework immediately after contact, gathering documents, flagging red flags, and securing expert review while the evidence is still fresh.
Our rapid-response process includes:
Emergency room malpractice often involves multiple providers whose actions or inactions contribute to patient harm. We conduct thorough investigations to identify everyone responsible and connect their failures to the injury.
We pursue liability for:
ER doctors who misdiagnosed or delayed critical treatment.
Triage nurses who ignored or misapplied emergency protocols.
Hospitals or supervisors that allowed unsafe systems or understaffing.
Radiologists or lab staff whose delayed results affected timely care.
Specialists who failed to respond when urgently consulted.
We build cases by showing how each provider’s breach of duty caused harm, then hold them all accountable.
Emergency room errors can cause catastrophic harm. We represent clients in high-stakes cases where ER mistakes result in serious injury or death, and we begin with expert-backed litigation strategies to build your case from the ground up.
We handle cases involving:
Delayed diagnosis of strokes, heart attacks, or other critical conditions.
Failure to properly prioritize or assess patients in the ER.
Missed infections or childbirth complications that lead to severe outcomes.
We build cases by showing how each provider’s breach of duty caused harm, then hold them all accountable.
Hospitals often deny responsibility for emergency room malpractice, even when the errors are clear. Our attorneys use a systematic, evidence-driven approach to prove when care falls below accepted standards.
Here’s how we build strong, court-ready claims:
In Indiana, most ER malpractice cases must first go through a Medical Review Panel before a lawsuit can be filed. This independent panel of physicians reviews the evidence and issues an opinion on whether medical malpractice occurred. We prepare each case with this step in mind, submitting compelling documentation that supports your claim and positions it strongly for litigation or settlement.
Victims of ER malpractice often suffer significant financial and emotional losses. We collaborate with medical and financial experts to build strong, evidence-backed claims and secure the full compensation you deserve, even with Indiana’s damages cap in place.
Damages may include:
1. Medical expenses and future care costs: Costs for current and ongoing medic al treatments, rehabilitation, and long-term care resulting from the malpractice.
2. Lost wages or diminished earning capacity: Compensation for income lost due to the victim’s inability to work, or reduced ability to earn in the future due to the injury.
3. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional trauma caused by the malpractice, including anxiety, depression, and loss of quality of life.
4. Wrongful death compensation for surviving family members: Financial support for the family members of someone who passed away due to ER malpractice, including funeral expenses and loss of companionship.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
