Medical Malpractice
According to the National Academy of Sciences, approximately 98,000 Americans die from "medical malpractice mistakes" annually. These “mistakes” can result in serious personal injury and/or wrongful death. The Sweeney Law Firm has experienced medical malpractice lawyers that can help those who have been the victims of medical malpractice.

We are committed to upholding the quality of care in nursing home and assisted living facilities by taking prompt legal action to compensate nursing home residents and their families when residents suffer injuries from nursing home neglect.
Automobile Accidents
There is no such thing as a “routine” automobile accident. Each auto accident is unique, which is why the lawyers at the Sweeney Law Firm handle each case we take seriously. If you have been injured because of someone else's negligence, we can help. Don't let an insurance company decide what your injury is worth.

They need an established lawyer who is easy to talk to. They need a lawyer who cares. Our goal is to provide you with the highest possible quality of legal representation for your personal injury claim and to secure fair compensation and a better quality of life for people who have been harmed by the negligence of others. The field of law has become very “specialized” in the last quarter of a century. It takes a specialist in any area of law, whether serious personal injury or other specialties like family law or bankruptcy, to really know that field backwards and forwards, to practice at the highest skill level and obtain best results for the client. In 1984, Charles Sweeney decided to devote his firm’s practice to the representation of personal injury victims. In the last 25 years, the Sweeney Law Firm has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover compensation for their injuries and damages. The Sweeney Law Firm handles personal injury, medical malpractice, and nursing home negligence cases on a contingent fee basis. Our firm will never charge a fee unless we obtain a settlement on your behalf or collect a jury verdict on your behalf. In 1995, Sweeney teamed up with David Farnbauch, a board-certified civil trial litigator, to develop a personal injury firm with the financial resources to handle complex bodily injury cases. Lawsuits involving serious or catastrophic injuries can be very expensive to take to court. If a firm lacks the resources to fund a case properly, corners can be cut at the expense of a client’s case. The other component that distinguishes the Sweeney Law Firm from most personal injury law firms is its technical expertise regarding “demonstrative” evidence. “For many years, our firm has been at the cutting edge when it comes to the integration of computer technology into the practice of personal injury law. We use computer and video technology to assist in the art of persuasion and to make complex concepts understandable. Our use of computer and video technology has enhanced our creativity and ability to ‘think outside the box’ when presenting serious injury cases to juries or insurance companies,” says Farnbauch. Lawyers who handle personal injury and medical malpractice cases must have a firm grasp on the medicine that applies to a case. Over the years, the Sweeney Law Firm has developed a network of talented medical experts and legal nurse consultants to assist in the evaluation and preparation of cases. A typical medical malpractice case can involve three or four medical specialties, each one of which needs to have an expert witness hired to evaluate the medical issues in that specialty. In 2008, the Sweeney Law Firm formed a relationship with Dr. Gregory Kauffman, M.D., J.D., a triple board-certified physician and lawyer who has handled medical malpractice litigation for over 20 years. Dr. Kauffman is “of counsel” to the Sweeney Firm and collaborates with Sweeney staff to evaluate the merits of medical malpractice cases and assist with discovery and trial preparation. According to Farnbauch, Dr. Kauffman has worked with some of the premier personal injury lawyers in the country and has access to top notch medical specialists in virtually every field of medicine. “Greg’s medical credentials give him credibility with physicians, he understands their language and has cultivated a network of medical experts and consultants that is unparalled.” The Sweeney Law firm has formed referral relationships with many lawyers and law firms in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio on serious bodily injury cases and medical negligence matters. “There are many capable lawyers who collaborate with us on complex injury cases but do not feel comfortable with the risk and expenses that are associated with theses cases. It’s a win-win situation because a referring lawyer can share in a potential recovery without financial risk” says Farnbauch. The Sweeney Law Firm has been named a Preeminent Law Firm in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register, an organization that recognizes U.S. law firms that demonstrate the highest professional and ethical standards. The firm’s founder, Charles Sweeney, was an accomplished trial lawyer throughout his forty-year career and is now “of counsel” to the firm. Mr. Sweeney continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association. David Farnbauch is a board-certified trial lawyer by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and has been handling personal injury cases exclusively for 23 years. He has been recognized as an Indiana Super Lawyer every year since 2007 and is also recognized as of one of the Best Lawyers in America in the field of medical malpractice. Farnbauch, who also serves on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Trial Lawyer's Association, is a frequent writer and speaker on tort litigation and courtroom technology.
