358 Medical Malpractice Claims Against Merrillville Doctor


Posted on Jan 27, 2011

It has been a bad year for Dr. Mark S. Weinberger, Merrillville sinus specialists formerly known as “The Nose Doc.”  Dr. Weinberger has been accused of allegedly performing unnecessary surgeries on scores of patients, and then on top of that performing those surgeries poorly.  As a result, he faces over 350 malpractice claims in Indiana.  In addition, there are creditor claims of over $5.7 million against him and 22 criminal counts in federal court for billing fraud.

 Damages for medical negligence in Indiana are capped at $1.25 million.  The doctor (or his insurer) is responsible to pay the first $250,000 of any judgment against him.  The remainder of any judgment is paid by the Indiana Patient’s Compensation Fund, which receives its funding under the Medical Malpractice Act through surcharges on malpractice insurance premiums paid by all doctors practicing in the state.
