Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Will Obtain an Affidavit of Merit
Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451 requires filing an affidavit of merit with your lawsuit. We’ll handle this task by consulting a medical professional who meets the state’s requirements. The form they create must:
- Describe the acceptable standard of care
- Prove the care you received deviated from the acceptable standard
You do not have to obtain the affidavit alone. Instead, let our lawyers manage this job and ensure we file it on time.
You Could Be Entitled to Compensation for These Medical Injuries
Not every unfavorable medical outcome constitutes malpractice. During your free consultation, our attorneys will listen to your version of events compassionately to determine whether you have a viable case. Then, they’ll examine your medical records and consult relevant experts to build a persuasive claim.
Some commonly reported cases of medical malpractice include the following:
- Birth injuries
- Misdiagnosis
- Missed diagnosis
- Anesthesia errors
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Ignored medical history
- Disregard for patient history
This list is incomplete. Our law firm will accept your case if it meets the required legal parameters and will fight hard to reach a settlement agreement on your behalf. Call us today to learn more.

Our Law Firm Will Prove the Required Elements of Medical Malpractice
When we accept your case, we take on the task of proving the four components of an effective medical malpractice claim. Proving these elements means you can pursue the at-fault healthcare professional or facility for financial recovery. These elements include:
- You had a provider/patient relationship with the at-fault party who owed you a duty of professional care.
- The care you received did not meet the required standard of professional care, thereby breaching their duty of care.
- The healthcare provider’s breach was directly responsible for damaging your health.
- Your injuries resulted in negative financial consequences because of the healthcare provider’s actions.
Our investigative team will work with medical experts and specialists to prove these elements and establish your right to compensation.

You could also be entitled to damages for what Ohio law calls noneconomic losses. These are more challenging to document and typically include the following:

Our familiarity with cases like yours means we know how to document these intangible damages and will include proof of their monetary value in your evidence file.
