Ohio Doctor Negligence Attorneys
A Legal Team With More Than 60 Years of Combined Legal Experience
Medical malpractice cases are highly challenging. Legally, medical malpractice occurs when harms and losses results from a medical professional's failure to exercise adequate care, skill or diligence when performing a duty. The duty of care depends on the standard of care, which can vary by role, facility and community. Medical specialists are held to the standard of care by specialty and by geographic area.
To succeed in a medical malpractice case, therefore, a victim must show each of the following:
- That the health care provider failed to exercise a duty of care as defined by numerous factors
- That the failure to exercise a duty of care resulted in the injury

We work with highly respected expert witnesses, who are generally required in medical malpractice cases to establish the connection between the medical professional's negligence and the injury to the patient.
