Langer & Langer is an Indiana medical malpractice and personal injury trial firm. The firm has recovered more than $9 million in a single medical malpractice case and has secured 18 verdicts and settlements exceeding $1 million across Indiana. Lead attorney Steven Langer is the only attorney in the state to win Indiana Trial Lawyer of the Year twice (2004 and 2009), serves as the current State Chair of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and has been named among Best Lawyers in America every year since 2012.
For over four decades, this has been a family-run firm with one focus: holding negligent healthcare providers and reckless parties accountable. We don’t chase volume. We don’t take every case that calls. We take the cases we believe in, prepare them for trial from day one, and fight for outcomes that change our clients’ lives. Our clients have our cell phone numbers — because when your case matters, your lawyer should be reachable.
Most firms talk about trial. We prepare every case for it. The other side knows that matters. Our attorneys have secured a $9.05 million medical malpractice recovery and 18 verdicts and settlements exceeding $1 million.
Steven Langer is the only Indiana attorney to be named Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association twice — in 2004 and 2009. He has served as President of the ITLA and currently chairs the Indiana chapter of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
Our clients have our cell phone numbers. When you call Langer & Langer, you reach the attorney working your case — not a paralegal, not a voicemail, not an intake coordinator. We handle a focused caseload because we refuse to trade volume for quality.
Insurance companies settle when they believe the other side is ready to go to a jury. We prepare every case as though it will be tried — because that is what produces the highest outcomes, whether the case resolves at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

I was searching for information and found Langer and Langer online. Their auto chat directed me to an attorney that called me within 30 minutes or less to answer my questions. I have NEVER had an organization respond so quickly through an online inquiry. What's even more impressive is I live in Alaska but am dealing with a lawsuit in Indiana and the time difference (4hrs) wasn't a barrier. I have the hardest time connecting with people in EST & CST time zones but Rob called, despite it being outside normally duty hours. Not only did Rob answer my questions, he furthered explained more and provided additional feedback to assist me. I highly recommend Langer and Langer for your legal needs!
Rebecca BolinSteve and his staff have been so dedicated for over 5 years. They embraced my case and fought so hard at every obstacle. We were treated like valued clients who deserved to be heard. These cases can be long drawn out ordeals, full of many emotions. Steve made sure we knew he was with us all the way. When I grew weary he fought harder. If you need a malpractice attorney, please choose this firm. They will never let you down!
Hope DaughertySteve Langer is an amazing attorney, but also person. He would always make sure I felt comfortable, I’ve never been through an experience like this. Everyone that works with him is also very professional and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my case. If you want someone that is going to make you feel heard and treat you like family, this is the right team for you. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication for me and my family!
Luis FernandezFantastic law firm! Robert was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting me with my legal case. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a great lawyer.
Stephanie SRobert and his entire team are the pinnacle of the legal representation that you want one your side fighting for you when you have been wronged.

Thanks again Robert and Megan! I appreciate you guys and can’t recommend you enough!!
Mike DixonAfter losing my father in a tragic car accident and caring for my injured mother, I had no idea how to handle the legal and insurance mess that followed. Attorney Robert Langer and his team at Langer & Associates in Valparaiso, Indiana stepped in and guided our family through every stage of the probate and wrongful-death process with remarkable compassion, clarity, and persistence. Rob even flew nearly a thousand miles to Massachusetts to personally sit with my elderly mother during a video conference, while all the other parties remained in Indiana. That gesture meant the world to us and spoke volumes about his dedication. Over the next several years, Rob and Tara Haack managed countless communications with hospitals, rehab facilities, multiple insurance carriers, and other parties. They kept me informed, explained complex legal issues in plain English, and made sure I always understood the next step. Rob even pursued what seemed like a long-shot appeal that resulted in an unexpected refund — something I would never have known was possible without his persistence. If you’re looking for a compassionate, experienced probate attorney in Valparaiso, IN, who treats clients like family and sticks with them until everything is resolved, I cannot recommend Robert Langer and his team highly enough.

No. Medical malpractice and personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover compensation. Other types of cases may involve different fee arrangements.
You work directly with an attorney - not a call center or intake team. While our support staff may assist with scheduling or paperwork, your attorney is personally involved in your case and accessible to you directly.
Medical malpractice cases are identifiable by 5 key warning signs: misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and inadequate follow-up care. Each of these failures can worsen an existing condition or introduce new health complications, such as organ damage, prolonged illness, or preventable disability. Consult a medical malpractice attorney to evaluate your legal options, if you believe negligence has affected your care.
We represent clients statewide from our Valparaiso office, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Hammond, Lafayette, Gary, and communities across Indiana.
If you or someone you love was harmed by medical negligence or injured in an accident, we’ll review your situation and give you a straight answer about your options. No cost. No obligation.

Accessibility Statement
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
