When the doctor you trust injures you, you deserve compensation
When the doctor you trust to make you well instead harms you, you may feel betrayed and angry. John J. Sullivan holds medical professionals accountable for their negligence. With more than 35 years of experience, John knows what it takes to win against doctors, hospitals, nurses and other medical professionals and companies.

Establishing the elements of your claim
A doctor’s actions which caused you harm may not be grounds to sue for medical malpractice. Indiana law sets strict requirements regarding what constitutes medical malpractice. To prove medical malpractice, John meticulously reviews your case and establishes each element of your claim:

1. Accepted standard of care – John uses expert testimony to establish what a similarly-qualified medical professional would have done under comparable circumstances.
2. Medical negligence –John presents your records, testimony and often the doctor’s own words and written notes to prove that the medical professional’s actions deviated from the accepted standard of care.
3. Injury – Documenting the extent of your injuries is vital to establishing that injury occurred. Photographs, medical records, doctors’ examinations, diagnostic tests and a diary of the pain and disability you suffer can be used to prove your injuries.
4. Proximate cause – To prove that medical negligence is the proximate cause of your injuries you must show that the doctor’s actions directly resulted in your injury. John carefully lays the groundwork that clearly establishes a linear connection and attacks the common defense strategy that intervening events, rather than the doctor’s actions, caused your injuries.
5. Damages – The ultimate goal of proving medical malpractice is compensation for your injuries. John raises the bar for your financial recovery so that you can concentrate on recovering from your injuries. He maximizes your damage awards for:
   - Medical bills
   - Past lost income from missed work
   - Physical disability and disfigurement
   - Future medical expenses
   - Loss of enjoyment of life
   - Loss of future earnings
   - Pain and suffering
