Get Immediate Help at No Upfront or Out-Of-Pocket Cost to You
Retainers and hourly fees should not prevent anyone from hiring a personal injury attorney. We accept cases on contingency, meaning we’ll cover any and all upfront costs.
This fee agreement also means we receive compensation only after recovering it for you. Our no-win, no-fee policy means you will not owe us any fees if you do not get compensation.
Centerville Medical Negligence Attorneys Will Collect Evidence for Your Case File
We know the value of a comprehensive case file, so we’ll take time to gather all the evidence you need to prove the cause, contributing factors, and costs of the substandard care you received.
To prove duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages (the legally required components of medical negligence), our legal team will gather evidence such as:
- Medical records and bills from all treatment professionals and facilities
- Laboratory and imaging results from all diagnostic tests and exams
- Prescription records, including medication lists, dosages, and instructions
- Witness statements from fellow patients, nurses, and hospital employees
At The Fitch Law Firm LLC, Centerville medical malpractice lawyers know the importance of proving these elements, since they are key to recovering damages. Our investigation will result in an evidence collection that steers your case toward a settlement versus a prolonged trial. Get started today with a free legal consultation.
An Affidavit of Merit Is Mandatory in Ohio Medical Malpractice Claims
In addition to building a substantial evidence collection, we will consult various medical experts and specialists. They play a pivotal role in your case, including:
- Identifying the quality of care you should have received vs. the care you did receive
- Completing the Affidavit of Merit required by Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451
The affidavit should contain the following:
- Evidence of the expert’s qualifications that are on par with the medical professional who treated you
- A detailed review of medical records from before and after the substandard treatment in question
- A description of the acceptable standard of care in your case and how your treatment deviated from that standard
You do not have to find a qualified medical expert or obtain this document. Our law firm will do these things for you, including filing your Affidavit of Merit alongside your lawsuit to substantiate your claim.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
