We are Langer & Langer, a law firm serving the people of Fort Wayne since 1980. We feel honored to have built a trusted name in the fight against medical malpractice. Our attorneys bring over 100 combined years of legal experience to every case. With an office in Valparaiso, we serve clients in Fort Wayne and across Allen County.
Medical malpractice can have devastating effects on patients, including physical, emotional and financial burdens. With us, you have a team that puts clients first and fights tirelessly for justice. Our award-winning medical malpractice lawyers are committed to continuously learning and gaining knowledge. From the initial consultation to gathering evidence of your injuries and filing a claim, we have your back at every stage of the legal process.
The American Medical Association estimates that around 20,000 medical malpractice claims are filed every year in the U.S. Medical malpractice can take many forms. Some of the most common types include:
Negligence is often the root cause of these errors. For instance, a surgeon may fail to follow proper procedures, or a nurse may administer the wrong medication due to a lack of attention to detail.
Our firm has intimate and practical knowledge of the Indiana and Fort Wayne medical systems. Fort Wayne and Allen County have, unfortunately, earned a reputation for frequently providing poor quality care to their patients. Our lawyers have seen numerous claims involving local practitioners in local hospitals and clinics. They know the culture and procedures within these medical facilities. This familiarity allows us to approach Allen County medical malpractice claims with a strategic advantage.
Proving the elements of a medical malpractice claim is crucial for a successful case. You must prove conclusively that your health care provider owed you a duty of care as a patient. Then, you must show that they failed to meet the expected standard of care when treating you. You must also show that they caused harm and that you have damages as a result.
Hospitals fight tooth and nail against allegations of malpractice. They have their own teams of powerful lawyers to disprove your claim and even shift the blame back onto you. At our firm, we have the experience needed to prove the elements of malpractice. We have done it again and again, even when the odds seemed impossible. In countless situations, we have recovered high settlements and awards for clients who suffered devastating harm. Our deep understanding of medical malpractice law and our commitment to continuous learning are what you need when you take on the medical establishment.
If you’re unsure about what steps to take after a medical error, our attorneys can guide you, collect evidence, and advise on the best legal options if a doctor makes an error.
At Langer & Langer, we are dedicated to helping you through this challenging time. If you or a loved one has suffered due to medical malpractice, contact us today. Call us at 219-464-3246 or send us an email to schedule a consultation. You can let our experienced team guide you through the many twists and turns until they recover maximum compensation.

Accessibility Statement
Compliance status
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
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
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.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility
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).
Notes, comments, and feedback
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
