Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is carelessness or negligence committed by a doctor, nurse or other health care provider.

In order to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must prove three elements; negligence, causation, and damages or harm.

The law in Ohio requires that before a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed, the medical records must be reviewed by a medical doctor acting as an expert to determine whether there is good cause to file a lawsuit. In a medical malpractice lawsuit, both sides must hire medical experts or doctors to support their positions.

If you or a family member has been injured due to the carelessness or negligence of a professional health care provider—a doctor, nurse, or hospital, you may have a valid medical malpractice claim and be entitled to compensation.
