Indiana channels most malpractice claims through the Medical Malpractice Act, which requires a proposed complaint and review by a medical review panel before suit in most cases.
Indiana's Medical Malpractice Act
The Medical Review Panel
A panel of healthcare providers reviews the evidence and issues an opinion on whether the standard of care was breached. The opinion is admissible but not binding.
Damage Caps
Indiana caps the total recoverable in malpractice cases, with a portion paid by the provider and the remainder from the state Patient's Compensation Fund.
Strict Deadlines
Malpractice claims have their own timing rules, and the panel process takes time. Starting early is essential.
