What Constitutes Medical Malpractice in Beavercreek?
Proving your medical malpractice case meets the required legal parameters starts with identifying negligence. Some examples of negligent medical care include:
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to treat
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Medication errors
- Anesthesia errors
Your case must establish the following elements to prove negligence:
- The healthcare provider or facility owed you a duty of professional care.
- The healthcare provider or facility failed to meet their professional obligation.
- Their breach of the acceptable standard of care caused your injury.
- You suffered financial losses due to the breach of duty.

A Compelling Evidence Collection Will Prove Your Right to Financial Recovery
Our medical malpractice team will collect evidence that proves the cause of your current condition and its resulting costs. To bolster and support your claim, we will compile:
- Medical records that describe your condition before and after the injury occurred
- Medical bills depicting your costs to date
- A written prognosis detailing the anticipated costs of your treatment protocol
- Witness statements from the named healthcare provider, medical staff, and an expert on liability issues regarding your claim
- Imaging, laboratory, and diagnostic test results
- Employment and salary records that document how much income you will lose until you can return to work
Finally, your evidence collection will be incomplete without an affidavit of merit. According to Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451, a qualified medical professional must prepare it, stating you did not receive medical care that meets the acceptable standard.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
(614) 545-3930 Compensatory Damages You Can Recover With a Medical Malpractice Claim
The person or entity whose negligence led to your condition can be held accountable for your subsequent expenses and losses. According to Ohio Revised Code Section 2315.18, your recoverable economic damages can include:
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Medical care, rehab, and other treatment costs
The same statute allows you to request compensation for your recoverable noneconomic losses such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Lasting impairment and disfigurement
- Ongoing mental and emotional anguish
You have one year per Ohio Revised Code Section 2503.113 to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, the clock doesn’t start until the “cause of action accrued” — something that can be challenging to determine. Let our team verify your precise deadline so you don’t miss your opportunity to recover the money you deserve.
Wrongful Death Claims Due to Medical Malpractice
If medical malpractice led to the loss of a loved one, your family could be entitled to financial recovery. While we know nothing can atone for your loss, we also understand the economic hardship that can accompany an unexpected death.
Wrongful death damages can include funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and loss of household contributions. They can also include losses of consortium, companionship, care, advice, guidance, and affection.
We Will Assess Your Claim to See if It Qualifies for Punitive Damages
Punitive damages penalize the at-fault party for acts “demonstrate malice or aggravated or egregious fraud.” We will carefully document the at-fault party’s actions, assess them with a relevant specialist, and identify any actions that might warrant pursuing punitive damages.
