Medical malpractice can leave you with injuries that cause temporary and permanent changes to your physical appearance and abilities. It can also force changes in your life and lifestyle.

Information Our Lawyers Can Add to Your Medical Malpractice Casefile

Let us prove that you deserve damages by:

• Compiling bills and receipts to prove the value of your economic damages

Proving the Elements of Medical Malpractice in Springfield, Ohio

Many medical procedures come with inherent risks, so proving medical malpractice can be challenging. Aside from an obvious medical mishap or mistake, it can be hard to know if medical malpractice led to your current condition. To establish that your injury or illness is the result of faulty care by a medical professional, we help you prove that:

• The healthcare provider owed you a duty of care.
• They acted or failed to act as another healthcare professional would have under the same circumstances.
• You suffered further injury or illness because of this faulty care.
• You experienced recoverable damages as a result.

Affidavits of Merit and Your Medical Malpractice Claim

Medical malpractice lawsuits in Ohio are also required to include an Affidavit of Merit. This document is a critical part of your case because it affirms the at-fault party’s negligence. According to Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451, this affidavit should attest to the legitimacy of your case and confirm the at-fault party’s failure to meet the required standard of care.

Identifying the At-Fault Medical Professional in Your Legal Action

Your medical malpractice claim does not have to stem from physician-led medical care. If you believe you have been injured by flawed, faulty, or otherwise deficient medical treatment or equipment, our team can help you hold almost any medical professional responsible. The negligent party in your case may have been a(n):

• Doctor
• Dentist
• Optometrist
• Nurse
• Pharmacist
• Anesthesiologist
• Healthcare institution
• Institutional administrator

If multiple people bear responsibility for your treatment injuries, it can be hard to know where to assign financial liability. You do not have to navigate the complex legal process of fighting for medical malpractice compensation on your own. The Fitch Law Firm LLC can help you determine the validity of the case, identify the at-fault party, and build a claim against all responsible parties.
