Medical professionals are held to an extremely high standard, and while most of our doctors and nurses perform admirably, mistakes happen.
When those mistakes cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death, holding the responsible parties accountable becomes our mission. At Keller & Keller, we understand that medical malpractice cases are different—they’re complex, emotional, and often involve trusted healthcare providers. That’s why we treat every client like family, providing clear communication and aggressive representation while you focus on healing and rebuilding your life. With over 80 years of experience taking on negligent healthcare providers, we’ve recovered millions of dollars for patients whose lives were forever changed because someone in scrubs failed to do their job properly.
Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer After Medical Negligence
When medical errors cause serious harm, the healthcare system’s first priority isn’t making things right—it’s protecting itself from liability.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Medical malpractice cases involve intricate medical standards, expert witness testimony, and strict legal requirements that most people can’t handle alone. These cases require proving four elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. Without experienced legal representation, you’ll never successfully establish the medical standard of care or prove how the healthcare provider’s actions directly caused your injuries.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Hospitals and medical professionals carry massive malpractice insurance policies, and their insurers employ teams of experienced defense attorneys who know exactly how to minimize liability. They’ll use proven strategies, including questioning your credibility, suggesting pre-existing conditions caused your problems, and arguing that complications were unavoidable risks of treatment.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Medical malpractice claims have strict filing deadlines that vary by state and can be surprisingly short. In Indiana, you generally have two years from when you discovered the malpractice. Michigan allows two years from discovery, while New Mexico gives you three years. Miss these deadlines, and you lose your right to seek compensation forever, no matter how clear the negligence.
What to Do After Medical Malpractice
Taking the right steps after discovering medical negligence can protect both your health and your legal claim.
See What Your Case Is WorthSee another healthcare provider immediately to address ongoing medical issues and get proper treatment for injuries caused by malpractice
Obtain complete copies of all medical records, test results, and imaging studies related to your treatment before they can be altered
Keep detailed records of all symptoms, complications, additional treatments needed, and how the malpractice has affected your daily life
Avoid signing releases or settlements offered by the hospital or doctor’s insurance company without legal review
Keep all medications, medical devices, and documentation related to your treatment in a safe place
Have another qualified healthcare provider review your case to confirm whether malpractice occurred
Don’t give detailed statements to insurance companies or defense attorneys without legal representation present
Early legal representation helps preserve evidence, meet strict deadlines, and prevent healthcare providers from covering their tracks

The Hard Truth
Medical Malpractice Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers are staggering, and as your advocates in the fight for justice, we believe you deserve to know what we’re up against.
Johns Hopkins estimates that medical errors contribute to approximately 250,000 deaths annually in the United States, which would make medical errors the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.
The landmark Harvard Medical Practice Study found that only 1.53% of patients who suffered adverse events caused by medical negligence ever filed malpractice claims. This groundbreaking research means that for every person who sues for malpractice, approximately 65 other patients experienced negligent care but never sought legal recourse.
The HHS Office of Inspector General reports that 25-27% of Medicare patients experience adverse events during hospital stays, with 86% of patient harm events going unreported by hospital systems. Additionally, 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection, contributing to 687,000 infections and 72,000 deaths annually in acute care hospitals.
Leading Causes of Medical Malpractice
Most medical errors are completely preventable, which makes these cases particularly heartbreaking. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases and hold providers accountable.

Medical negligence can cause devastating injuries that affect every aspect of your life, often requiring lifelong medical care and dramatically reducing your quality of life.
