Legal Help for the Injured
Doctors and medical professionals play a crucial role in our lives by helping us during emergencies and sudden illnesses, as well as medical staff at hospitals and clinics, who work with patients to prevent unnecessary diseases or other harm. We put a lot of trust in our doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Sometimes a patient’s condition can suffer from complications, and life can become very difficult for them and their family.

You may consider that your life is in your doctor’s hands when you are undergoing treatment and circumstances in which you suffer harm due to medical negligence will likely catch you off guard. Many victims are suddenly injured while being treated at large facilities such as the University of Toledo Medical Center or St Charles Hospital. However, serious harm also occurs at small clinics, dental offices, and due to pharmacy errors. A Johns Hopkins study recently concluded that at least 250,000 people in the United States are killed every year due to doctor negligence. While this includes many thousands of known victims in northwestern Ohio, it’s also safe to conclude that many cases of medical malpractice go unreported.

Your doctor may seek your approval to quickly try and remedy the situation, or they might become distant and even hostile. The most important thing you can do is contact a skilled Ohio medical malpractice attorney. It may be impossible to recover all of the compensation that you need if you sign an agreement or accept financial help before speaking with your attorney. We have worked with many families who have had a loved one harmed by the reckless or malicious actions of a medical professional.
Being injured through no fault of your own can be very difficult for you and your family. It’s very important to find all of the parties who are liable to pay your damages. Ohio law often seeks to protect doctors and medical groups from excessive liability in the event of a medical malpractice error. This can make things difficult for victims of doctor negligence who have suffered terrible harm. There is no cap for economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages. However, Ohio caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. These are damages that are difficult to give a monetary figure, and they include pain and suffering. Damage caps for things like pain, suffering, and emotional distress are as follows:

It’s important to act without delay if you have been unexpectedly injured due to the negligent or reckless actions of a medical professional. Your injuries can quickly get out of hand, and you may suffer serious and even permanent damage. Ohio’s statute of limitations law also has an effect on malpractice lawsuits. This law requires you to file a claim for damages within one year, or else you might lose your chance to file a lawsuit for compensation. This one-year window begins on the date of your injury or when the doctor/patient relationship for the specific harm ends. One year is not a lot of time for your lawyer to investigate your case and prepare a lawsuit. Exceptions to this strict one-year rule include:
