Jason Reese, Indiana injury attorney, represents victims of personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims.
Jason Reese: I became a lawyer back in 1997. I’ve been practicing continuously, doing all personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death cases. Speaker 2: I’ve known Jason for about 15 years, since he came to Indianapolis from Northern Indiana. Jason Reese: I help families every day who come to me because tragedy has struck or they’re in a serious bind or they’ve lost a loved one and they need help. Usually the deck is stacked against them. Speaker 2: He cares about his clients. He’s very passionate about what he does. Jason Reese: This is all I do, and I’ve done and dedicated my life to. Speaker 2: Jason is bold, he’s brash. He’s not afraid of anything. I’ve been in trial with him. I’ve seen him under pressure and he’s like ice. He’s the guy you want shooting the free throw to win the game. Jason Reese: I’m on the side of the underdog. I’m on the side of the person who’s been wronged, and I just have to prove it. That’s what gets me up every morning, coming into the office, working for you because I know that if I work hard, and with my training and experience I could win your case, and there’s nothing better than that last meeting when you look at me, I look at you and I say, “We did it.” Speaker 2: Jason’s been recognized by his peers for his excellence in the law. Jason’s a natural born leader. It’s been that way his whole life. Jason Reese: I hope that you’ll call our firm to ask us to have a free consultation with you at our office.

Attorney Jason Reese discusses Indiana Medical Malpractice law.
Jason: Unfortunately, statistics show that Hoosiers become victims of medical malpractice virtually every day. At our law firm, Wagner Reese, we help families who have been catastrophically injured or lost a loved one as a result of medical negligence. Hi. I'm Jason Reese. I'm here to tell you a little bit about Indiana medical malpractice law. First, you should know that Indiana malpractice claims are complicated. No matter how bad someone is hurt, state law limits the amount of a recovery, even if you have lost a loved one. Second, after you file a complaint, your case must be reviewed by a panel of three doctors before it can be heard in a court of law. This three-person panel will vote on two primary issues. One, was there a deviation in the standard of care? Two, was the deviation a factor in the resulting damages? If the panel rules against your case, then this opinion can be used as evidence against you when the case goes to trial. Because medical malpractice claims are one of the most difficult areas of litigation, you need an experienced lawyer who can demonstrate that your damages were the result of medical negligence. To succeed, you often need medical experts working on your behalf to win. Keep in mind that there are strict time limitations that apply to your case. Consult an attorney on this legal issue. The negligent healthcare provider could be a doctor, a nurse, or a member of hospital staff. It can even be someone at a nursing home or an EMT. We've handled a number of medical malpractice cases. Some examples include birth trauma, shoulder dystocia, failure to timely diagnose diseases like cancer, meningitis, or heart attacks. We've also handled surgical air in complication cases as well as nursing home neglect. If you or a loved one have fallen victim to medical negligence, you do have rights. By pursuing legal action, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries as well as other costs such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At our law firm, we can help your family. We'll even hire qualified experts to review your case, free of charge, to determine how strong it is. Bringing a medical malpractice lawsuit is serious business. Our firm can help you or your family. Please give us a call or send us an e-mail and we'll be happy to offer you a free consultation either at our office or in the convenience of your own home.
