Based on what our team has seen, we are concerned that other patients, residents, and families may have experienced similar harm. > We are speaking with former ResCare patients, residents, clients, and families who were or may have been victims of neglect, abuse, medical malpractice, improper supervision, unsafe staffing, or other injustices.

Many individuals in these settings have intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, behavioral needs, medical needs, mobility limitations, communication challenges, or other conditions that require careful supervision and qualified care. **When a vulnerable person is harmed in that setting, families are often left with painful questions.** - Was my loved one properly supervised? Were staff members trained for the level of care required? - Were there warning signs that were ignored? Were medical changes, injuries, infections, dehydration, malnutrition, falls, wounds, medication issues, or behavioral changes addressed, or addressed quickly enough? - Did ResCare hire or retain employees who should not have been caring for vulnerable people? - Did understaffing, poor oversight, or corporate pressure contribute to the harm? CohenMalad, LLP can help families investigate those questions and evaluate a potential medical malpractice claim. ## Indiana's Malpractice Statute of Limitations is Most Often Two Years A strong case assessment takes time, and Indiana has a short statute of limitations in medical malpractice matters. In many cases, a medical malpractice claim must be filed **within two years** of the alleged act, omission, or neglect. > Some exceptions may apply, but families or victims of medical malpractice should not assume they have more than two years to file a claim. We strongly encourage you to request a potential case review as soon as possible if you suspect medical malpratice. Medical records often have to be ordered, reviewed, and analyzed. The care plan, staff notes, incident reports, medication records, hospital records, photographs, witness information, prior complaints, internal investigations, and state agency records may all matter. Waiting until the statute of limitations is close can make it harder to investigate what happened and determine whether a legal claim can be brought. That is why it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. ## Free, Confidential Case Review Our medical malpractice team is dedicated to helping patients and families understand their rights so they can make informed decisions.
