We understand that every misdiagnosis case tells a deeply personal story, one that deserves time, attention, and truth.

The value of a misdiagnosis lawsuit in Indiana depends on several factors. Courts look at the severity of harm, medical costs, income lost, and long-term effects on your life. Since no two cases are alike, only a tailored review can estimate potential recovery.
| Factor | How It Impacts Value |
|---|---|
| Severity of Harm | More serious injuries often increase compensation. |
| Economic Damages | Includes medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs. |
| Long-Term Effects | Lasting disability or loss of earning potential raises case value. |
| Noneconomic Damages | Pain, suffering, and emotional harm are capped by Indiana law. |
Under Indiana Code §34-18-14-3, the total compensation available in a medical malpractice case is subject to state-mandated caps that adjust periodically. Find out what your case may be worth. Request your free legal evaluation today.

Hiring a Valparaiso medical misdiagnosis attorney should not add financial stress. That’s why our firm works on a contingency fee basis; you pay nothing upfront, and legal fees apply only if we recover compensation for you. This structure makes pursuing justice accessible and risk-free.
How contingency works:
No upfront fees:
Your case begins without any out-of-pocket cost.
We cover case expenses:
Medical experts, investigations, and filings are handled by us.
Payment only if you win:
Fees come from the settlement or verdict, never from your pocket.
This way, you can focus on healing while we focus on winning your case.
Yes. You can sue if the misdiagnosis was corrected, as long as the delay caused harm. Correction does not erase earlier negligence or the damages you suffered. However, you must still meet Indiana’s filing and medical review requirements before pursuing damages.
If multiple doctors were involved in the misdiagnosis, liability may be shared. Each provider’s role is reviewed to see whether their actions or omissions contributed to the medical negligence and resulting harm.
To prove misdiagnosis was medical negligence in Indiana, you must show three things: the provider owed you a duty of care, that duty was breached, and the breach directly caused your injury or damages.
The length of a misdiagnosis lawsuit in Indiana varies depending on case complexity, court schedules, and whether trial is required. Some settle in months, others take years, depending on complexity, court schedules, and whether a trial is required.
It depends if you will have to go to court for a misdiagnosis lawsuit. Many cases resolve through settlement, but if no agreement is reached, trial may be required to recover compensation.
Most medical malpractice claims in Indiana require review by a medical review panel before a lawsuit can proceed. Our attorneys prepare the panel submission, secure expert opinions, and guide you through each step.

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
