Your Personal Injury Attorney Will Obtain the Mandatory Medical Malpractice Affidavit of Merit
All medical malpractice lawsuits in Ohio require the support of an Affidavit of Merit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451. A qualified medical expert (whom we will identify for you) must prepare the affidavit and assert the following:
- Medical records review: A detailed analysis of your pre- and post-injury health history
- Defined standard of care: A statement of the type of care you would have received from a medical peer
- Identification of breach: A description of the care you received and how it failed to meet the acceptable standard
The Affidavit of Merit should also contain a detailed description of your injuries or impaired health. This is the first part of a solid evidence collection we will prepare to substantiate your claim and pursue financial recovery.
The evidence we collect for your case file may also include your medical records and bills, photos and video, and lay witness statements. In wrongful death claims, we generally also collect autopsy reports, death certificates, and other evidence you might find hard to obtain or emotionally triggering.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
