Show Notes
Indiana Supreme Court Grants Immunity to COVID-19 Treatment Providers: The court unanimously ruled that hospitals and medical providers cannot be sued for complications from treating COVID-19 patients during the pandemic emergency. The decision was based on state and federal laws, dismissing claims from the estate of a patient named Elmer Waggoner who developed a severe bed sore after being put on a ventilator. The court stated that the care was directly linked to the COVID-19 response, even though Waggoner tested negative for the virus weeks before dying and the state emergency had ended. The ruling reinforces the policy of shielding frontline workers from lawsuits related to the pandemic emergency.
