A family physician was responsible for failure to provide medical care within the standard of care. In this case, the family physician was responsible for the death of a mother and for her child developing cerebral palsy. The expectant mother had gained over 100 pounds and had a fundal height of 51 cm in her 38th week of gestation. Yet, the physician did not order an ultrasound or seek a consultation regarding the size of the baby. The expectant mother previously had a C-section. The physician allowed the mother to be in labor for almost two days to give natural childbirth. The physician used contraindicated medications, all of which allowed her uterus to rupture, causing amniotic fluid to enter her bloodstream and ultimately to her lungs which caused her death. The child was deprived of oxygen as a result of the mother's distress, which in turn led to cerebral palsy. The husband and father received maximum compensation for the loss of his wife under Indiana law. The daughter received compensation for injuries that will affect her for the rest of her life. This is one of the first cases in Indiana to establish compensation for both the mother and child for a single act of medical negligence.

A patron was injured in a local bar. The patron was authorized to carry a handgun, which he placed in the waistband of his pants. An altercation broke out between the patron and another customer. The bouncer attempted to break up the incident when he saw the gun in the patron's hand. The bouncer took the gun away from the patron and started striking him on the head, causing numerous wounds. The patron was falsely accused of aiming his handgun at the bouncer. The patron was found not guilty of pointing a handgun at the bouncer. The patron filed suit against the local bar for malicious prosecution and battery. The jury trial verdict was in favor of the patron. The verdict included compensation for pain and suffering, mental distress and punitive damages. The case was settled on appeal.

A 14-year-old student was brutally assaulted by four other students in a high school parking lot. The attack was unprovoked and left the boy with severe facial injuries, including a fractured jaw in two places and missing teeth. This occurred after classes were dismissed for the day. The boys who committed the attack were prosecuted and convicted of battery. A civil suit was brought against the school district for failing to properly supervise the students under its care. The security guard company hired by the school district was also sued. An investigation showed that a large and noisy crowd of young people had gathered around the student just before the attack, which would have placed the school authorities on notice of suspicious activity. However, the security guard had abandoned his duty station in the parking lot in order to make a personal phone call inside the school, and the school officials who customarily observed the students leaving the building were absent that day. The school district sought to have the case dismissed on the grounds that it was immune from such a lawsuit both by statute and the common law. Although the trial court ruled in favor of the school district, the Indiana Court of Appeals held in a lengthy opinion that the school district could be held liable and that this case should proceed to trial. The Indiana Supreme Court agreed with the appellate court's reasoning and affirmed its decision. This case has been cited many times in legal briefs and other appellate court decisions for its analysis of the legal duties owed by schools to their students and how those duties relate to the statutory immunities under the Indiana Tort Claims Act. The case was settled with both the school district and the security guard company before trial.
