Compassionate, Effective Indiana Medical Malpractice Attorney
Jacobs Law LLC in Muncie and Indianapolis
Between 44,000 and 98,000 hospitalized Americans die each year as a result of preventable medical errors, according to a study by the Institute of Medicine, an affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences. A study by HealthGrades Inc. puts the number at 195,000 deaths per year. This makes preventable medical errors the sixth leading cause of death in this country. Yet only about 10 percent of these deaths result in a medical malpractice claim.
When a physician, nurse or hospital's negligence causes harm, injured patients are entitled to compensation.

You know us, you trust us, and we are here for you
We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
