Walking the Walk: $1.3 Million Medical Malpractice Verdict for David Cutshaw and Cohen & Malad. LLP.
" Not all Indiana Personal Injury Lawyers are Construction Accident Lawyers."
Your Indiana Construction Accident Lawyer does not know anything about medical malpractice, but David Cutshaw and Leslie Gibson of Cohen & Malad, LLP sure do. They were awarded $1.3 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit in Indianapolis last Wednesday after a lengthy trial. The defendants' insurance company did not offer anything to settle the case before trial, so David took them to task by obtaining a jury verdict in excess of the $1.25 million cap imposed by the Indiana Medical malpractice Statute.
For those who don't know, bringing a medical malpractice case in Indiana is not for the faint of heart or the thin of wallet. Before a case can go to trial, the claim has to be presented to a panel of three doctors, who determine if the treatment was below the standard of care. This initial step takes months and expense, because experts have to be hired to prepare the submission to the panel. After the panel issues its finding, then the trial can begin. If the injured person "loses the panel", then trial is tough sledding indeed! After winning the panel, and obtaining the verdict, then the judgment has to be submitted to the Patients Compensation Fund. Your Indiana Construction accident Lawyer humbly suggests it be renamed the "Patience" Compensation Fund, as the patience required to actually get paid is admirable. The Fund only pays out twice a year, and as noted above, the amount is capped by Statute.
In any event, I am proud to work with David and Leslie, who worked long and hard to obtain some measure of justice for a patient who was sorely mistreated by the very Doctor she entrusted her health to.
If you need a medical malpractice lawyer, Your Indiana Construction Accident Lawyer knows where to find one!
We represented injured patients (and Construction Workers!) throughout Indiana, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Bloomington, Evansville and Terre Haute.
BE SAFE. Call the lawyers who don't just Talk the Talk, they Walk the Walk.
