You Can Seek the Cost of Your Medical Treatment and Other Losses with Our Attorneys’ Help
When you suffer paralysis because of medical malpractice, your losses include more than just hospital bills. The medical malpractice attorneys at the Fitch Law Firm LLC can help you pursue a settlement for all your losses, including both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are your out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries. In a medical malpractice case, this may include compensation for your:
- Past and future medical care
- Rehabilitation services
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Loss of household services
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages include damages that cannot be quantified using bills, pay stubs, or other financial documentation. They include:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment
- Loss of mobility
- Reduced quality of life
- Loss of consortium
A medical malpractice attorney familiar with paralysis cases can help you establish a value for both economic and non-economic losses, so you can seek fair compensation for your injuries.
How Much is Your Case Worth?
Every personal injury case is different, so it is impossible to provide a case value without a thorough case review. The amount you could win in a settlement or verdict will depend on various factors, including:
- Whether your paralysis is full or partial
- The cost of your past and future medical care
- Your salary before your injury
- How much time you have missed from work
- Whether you can return to the same job or work at all
- The value of your lost household contributions
- The extent of your physical pain and emotional suffering
Our Springfield paralysis medical malpractice lawyer will help you calculate your damages and seek the maximum amount of compensation available to you. While we understand that no financial payment can return you to your previous state of health, we can help you seek the financial compensation you need to live an enjoyable, full life after your recovery.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
(614) 545-3930 Our Lawyers Can Help You Prove That Medical Malpractice Led to Your Paralysis
When you seek the help of a healthcare provider, you are counting on their professional knowledge and experience. You expect to receive treatment that meets acceptable medical standards. Malpractice occurs when a doctor or other provider fails to properly execute their professional duties. To win a malpractice case, you must prove:
- A doctor/patient relationship existed between you and the health care provider.
- The health care provider failed to uphold the professional standard of care.
- The health care provider’s negligence was a direct cause of your injuries.
- Your injuries have caused you to suffer damages.
We will help you gather evidence and build a case for medical malpractice. We can obtain and review your medical records, locate and interview eyewitnesses who can speak about your injuries, and seek testimony from medical experts. Through medical experts, we will establish that your health care provider’s services were inconsistent with the professional standards expected for your situation.
We will also work to establish a link between your doctor’s actions, your injuries, and your financial, emotional, and physical losses.
Our Attorneys Can Assist You with an Insurance Claim or Civil Lawsuit
Many malpractice cases settle outside of court through a medical malpractice insurance claim. Our lawyers who handle cases involving paralysis can help you:
- Communicate with the insurance companies and involved medical professionals
- Obtain bills, records, and other documentation related to your case
- Locate a medical professional who can complete an “affidavit of merit,” pursuant to Ohio Rule of Civil Procedure §10(D)(2)
- Review your settlement offers and reject payouts that are less than you deserve
- Negotiate for the most advantageous settlement available for your injuries
We want to help you get the financial awards you need as quickly and easily as possible. To that end, we will make every effort to settle your case without going to court. However, if the insurance company offers you a low payout or denies your claim, we are not afraid to take your case to trial.
Don’t Wait to File Your Medical Malpractice Claim
When you have been paralyzed because of medical malpractice in Ohio, it is in your interests to file a claim as soon as possible. Your medical malpractice attorney will need time to compile evidence and attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company and at-fault party while the evidence is still fresh. If an agreement cannot be reached, your attorney can then file a lawsuit against the responsible party.
