Medical malpractice cases are rarely straightforward — but when compounded by systemic issues, decades-old protections, and multiple layers of negligence, they become monumental undertakings. For grieving families, the emotional cost is compounded by a complex legal maze that prioritizes institutions over accountability. How can victims and their advocates navigate the system to achieve justice?

With extensive experience in plaintiff-side medical malpractice litigation, trial attorneys Amy Davis and Katherine Karres shed light on this harsh reality. They share the harrowing case of Jim Brower, an 82-year-old man who died after a rehab facility administered a lethal dose of methotrexate. Amy and Katherine narrate their multiyear litigation journey, explaining the complex legal framework of Indiana’s med mal laws, the need for airtight evidence and significant damage, and how they fought through the state’s three-stage trial process to secure a verdict. Together, they emphasize the importance of transparency, persistence, and advocating for legislative change to protect vulnerable patients.
