Understanding Medical Errors and Their Common Causes
Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical professionals can commit malpractice when they fail to meet the accepted standard of care for patients. This standard comes from the actions a reasonable person with a similar background and training would take given the same circumstances.
To recover monetary compensation for a client in these cases, we must work with medical experts—usually doctors or specialists—who can testify about what an accepted medical standard of care would look like in the case. The outcome of these cases often hinges on working with the right expert and having them provide strong testimony to support the case.
These root causes of medical malpractice can lead to specific incidents that cause injuries to patients, such as:
- Diagnostic Errors: These errors occur when a healthcare professional provides an incorrect diagnosis, delays a diagnosis, or fails to diagnose a medical condition, potentially leading to incorrect or delayed treatment.
- Treatment Errors: These can happen when a healthcare provider administers inappropriate treatment, provides substandard care, or fails to provide necessary treatment, resulting in harm.
- Surgical Errors: Medical mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing unintended injuries, can all cause significant harm.
- Medication Errors: These involve prescribing, dispensing, or administering the wrong medication, dosage, or drug combination, which can cause serious health complications or death.
- Birth Injuries: Negligence during prenatal care, labor, or delivery can lead to injuries to the mother or child, such as cerebral palsy, nerve damage, or other long-term health issues.
Depending on the circumstances that led to the injuries or advancing of disease, the doctor, facility, or another party might be responsible for your medical malpractice injuries. Our Cincinnati medical malpractice attorneys know how to investigate what happened and identify the liable parties. We can help you get justice if a medical provider or facility caused your severe injuries, illness or a loved one’s death.

Recoverable Damages in Medical Malpractice Claims
The recoverable damages in your Ohio medical malpractice case depend greatly on the case facts, what happened, and how it affected your health and well-being. In general, our malpractice attorneys document a range of your expenses and losses and seek fair compensation based on them. This could include:
- Additional medical bills caused by your injuries or advancing illness
- Lost income if you had to miss additional time away from work
- Diminished earning capacity if you have permanent disabilities
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages.
Ohio law caps some types of compensation in medical malpractice cases. Under Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.43, this includes a limit on the pain and suffering and other non-economic damages available. There are also caps on punitive damages in cases when the jury awards these damages. Our Cincinnati medical malpractice attorneys can help you understand how these caps could affect the payout in your case.
