2008Although this court has held that if there is more than one actual victim of the malpractice, each injured person can obtain excess damages, see McCarty v. Sanders, 805 N.E.2d 894, 899-900 (Ind.Ct.App.2004), trans. denied, the nature of the injury alleged by the [plaintiffs] in light of the Act’s definition of a derivative claim limits the recovery here.
