STEVEN L. LANGER

Partner & Indiana Medical Malpractice Lawyer

In his 30+ years of practicing law, Steve Langer knows what it means to be invested in his clients’ needs. When an injured person or the parent, family or loved one of an incapacitated individual walks through his door, Steve is compelled to help in any way he can. The client isn’t just a file number; he or she is someone who will be treated with dignity, compassion and the utmost attention to getting needed assistance. Simply put, he treats his clients the way he would want to be treated. Steve concentrates his practice on plaintiff’s medical malpractice, personal injury, car and truck crashes, and complex litigation. He understands the intricacies that can arise in these cases, and is persistent in seeing a case to a positive end result. He firmly believes that a case is not just about the potential financial compensation but also about the plaintiff’s quality of care and quality of life. He understands that the end result includes finances and the ability for the client to live his or her life as fully as possible.
