If you suffered injuries as a result of a misdiagnosis, then you can file a claim for medical malpractice in Indiana. Remember that the claim must be filed within 2 years of the misdiagnosis and must be filed with the Indiana Dept. of Insurance. You should consult with a medical malpractice specialist as soon as possible.

You should consult with a plaintiff's medical malpractice attorney for specific legal advice and direction. Negligence has to be claimed and proved with respect to the action of the doctor who allegedly misdiagnosed your medical problem(s).
