image description

Hoover Hull LLP represents a range of professionals, as well as the firms and institutions where they are employed, against claims of professional negligence, including:

  • attorneys;
  • accountants;
  • physicians;
  • nursing homes and their employees;
  • insurance agents and brokers; and
  • other licensed or accredited professionals.

We have represented attorneys in matters involving allegations of malpractice relating to numerous practice areas. Some of the recent cases have involved estate planning, probate, marital dissolution, securities law, federal taxation, commercial transactions, business litigation, patent prosecution, and alleged violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). We are sensitive to the difficulties and complexities of coordinating the defense of malpractice claims during the pendency of the underlying litigation. We also consult with attorneys to mitigate the risks of potential malpractice claims where underlying litigation is ongoing and offer private opinion letters regarding proposed courses of action.

Hoover Hull LLP also represents physicians, physician practice groups, nurses, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted living and long term care facilities, and their employees in the defense of medical negligence claims filed in Indiana.  We defend health care providers and their employers who are covered under the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act, as well as non-covered providers.  We represent health care providers in actions before the Indiana Department of Insurance, Attorney General’s Office, and state courts throughout Indiana. Our attorneys also represent nursing homes and their employees and providers in claims alleging professional negligence. We have defended numerous health care malpractice claims through trial, and always work closely with providers and their insurance carriers toward a result in the best interests of the provider.
