We Can Help You Gather the Evidence Necessary to Build a Strong Medical Malpractice Case

In many cases, medical professionals and facilities try to deny fault, shift blame, and cover up mistakes so that they can avoid a lawsuit. We can get to the bottom of your case by completing a thorough investigation into your case. With our help, you can discover what caused your paralysis injuries and who is responsible for them.

When surgery, medical procedures, and other forms of medical treatment cause injuries and other medical problems that should not occur, you have the right to seek justice for your losses. You may now be facing significant medical expenses that you did not expect, and you may need further treatment, ongoing care, or both. We can gather the evidence necessary to build a strong case against the parties who committed medical malpractice.

Our Firm Gets the Results Our Clients Want to See

Our past case results include a settlement for $2.6 million in a medical malpractice case, $1.5 million in a medical negligence case, and $2.2 million in a case involving surgical errors. While not all medical malpractice cases involve such high dollar amounts, and such results may not be typical, we know how to approach these cases and work to resolve them as positively as possible.

How Much Is My Dayton Medical Malpractice Case Worth?

Medical malpractice is not a “one size fits all” affair. Every medical malpractice case is unique unto itself, and several different factors will determine the potential recoverable damages in your case. First, we need to assess the extent and severity of your injuries.

Any medical bills associated with your treatment and recovery will need to be calculated. Sometimes, those bills can include after-accident care that lasts for years into the future or even permanently. We would also seek additional damages in your case for whatever period those injuries left you unable to work. Finally, if your case involves long-term damage to your quality of life, we will also seek damages for that.

We need to consult with you personally in your case before giving you an idea of how much recoverable damages we would seek on your behalf. With that said, our firm always seeks to collect the maximum recoverable damages for our clients in medical malpractice cases, whatever that may be.

Do You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

The medical field is complex, so you’ll want a law firm that has the specialized knowledge necessary to handle complex cases. You likely will need medical experts on your side to help prove your case. We are accustomed to routinely working with these experts to support medical malpractice claims and know how to effectively interpret and explain their medical opinions.

Physicians, hospitals, and other medical professionals and facilities have vast resources of malpractice insurance companies to defend them against malpractice cases like yours. Without an attorney on your side, you could be facing these defense attorneys and all their resources on your own. We are here, so you do not have to fight this battle on your own.

How Much Does the Fitch Law Firm LLC Charge to Represent Medical Malpractice Victims?

Here at the Fitch Law Firm LLC, we’ve been getting justice for injured victims for over 30 years. We’ve learned a lot in that time, and one of the things we’ve learned is that the fear of legal bills keeps a lot of medical malpractice victims from seeking representation. The bitter irony here is that if you’re a medical malpractice victim, you probably need an attorney, whether you can afford one or not.

The way we see it, your only area of focus as a medical malpractice victim should be your recovery. That’s why the Fitch Law Firm LLC takes medical malpractice cases on a contingency basis. That means if we take your case, you won’t pay for our legal services unless and until we collect recoverable damages for your injuries. If we fight your case and are unable to collect any damages, you don’t owe us any money. We promise.

Our Attorneys Can Help You Determine if the Necessary Elements Are Present in Your Case to File a Medical Malpractice Claim

Not every unwanted or unexpected outcome or injury is the result of medical malpractice. However, you do need to prove certain elements to maintain a medical malpractice case under state law.

Required elements in a medical malpractice case include the following:

• A legal duty of care that the medical professional owes the patient as a result of the doctor-patient relationship
• Medical care that fell below the reasonable standard of care for the medical profession
• Medical negligence directly harmed the patient
• The patient suffered injuries as a result of the harm that occurred

A medical malpractice case can arise under various circumstances. For example, doctors may be liable if they make an error while performing surgery that results in a patient’s paralysis. Hospitals may be liable for medical malpractice if their emergency rooms are so understaffed that they misdiagnose a patient and perform the wrong treatment. Our lawyer, who handles paralysis cases in our Dayton office, can analyze your situation and determine whether you have a viable medical malpractice claim.

Compensation for Which You May Be Eligible after a Malpractice Incident Resulting in Paralysis

The journey following a paralysis diagnosis is fraught with both emotional and financial hurdles, from adapting living spaces to securing ongoing medical and personal care. Compensation sought in such cases can significantly alleviate these burdens, covering everything from medical bills to loss of income and beyond. Our Dayton Personal Injury Lawyers are here to guide you through the complexities of the legal process, dedicated to advocating for your rights and the full compensation necessary to support your continued care and quality of life.

Common Damages in Medical Malpractice Claims

In a medical malpractice claim, you may be eligible for different kinds of compensation to cover your losses. Some of the most common forms of compensation or damages in a medical malpractice case can include:

• Medical bills, including hospitalization, surgical, and emergency transport costs
• Lost income from being off work, perhaps permanently
• Costs of home health services or long-term personal care
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Physical pain and suffering
• Loss of ability to engage in enjoyable activities

Damages Unique to Paralysis Injuries

Paralysis resulting from medical malpractice can result in unique expenses, such as the costs of medical assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, wheelchair-accessible vans, and wheelchairs lifts. Injury victims may need to remodel their homes to accommodate wheelchair usage or purchase specialized beds or other furniture. These expenses may be part of a damages award in a medical malpractice case.

Limits on Damages

Ohio law does place some limits on non-economic damages in some medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Non-economic damages are those that are related to losses not tied to a specific monetary expense and are frequently referred to as pain and suffering.
