You should consult with an Indiana attorney that specializes in medical malpractice cases as soon as possible. You potentially have a case, but it will be necessary to obtain your medical records and have them reviewed by another OB/GYN to determine the merits of your case. In Indiana, your case must be filed within 2 years of the date of the alleged act of malpractice or it will be barred by the statute of limitations.
