How a Medical Malpractice Attorney can Fight for Clients in Kettering
Medical malpractice claims can be complex and stressful. Our familiarity with cases like these means we know how to build a strong case for you. It also means we know how to deal with the insurance company, including:
- Documentation: Handling claims forms, information requests, demands for evidence, and settlement offers
- Communication: Speaking on your behalf via telephone, email, and written correspondence
- Investigation: Bringing a pool of resources to your case, including investigators and case-specific experts
Our personal injury law firm will represent you on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only receive compensation if and when you do. We will also provide regular and timely updates on your case so you always know where it stands. Plus, we have 24/7 availability and will come to you if your injuries prevent you from coming to us.
A Kettering Medical Negligence Lawyer Will Work Hard to Reach a Fair Settlement Agreement for You
The negotiation phase of your claim can be complicated. When representing you, your personal injury attorney will create and submit a detailed settlement demand letter. From there, they will weigh every monetary offer you receive, weigh its pros and cons, and fight back against low settlement offers. If we feel it will benefit your case, we will file a medical malpractice lawsuit on your behalf.
The final decision to accept or reject a settlement is always yours to make. We will not usurp your right to do so but work hard to guide you toward a well-informed decision and the best possible financial outcome.

Types of Claims a Kettering Medical Malpractice Injury Lawyer Accepts
During your initial consultation with a team member, we will gather as much information as possible about your claim. To understand its merits, we will identify the type of medical error you experienced, such as:
- Misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis—Failure to accurately or promptly diagnose and treat your condition
- Surgical errors—Operating on the wrong surgical site or leaving tools or instruments inside your body
- Medication errors—Prescribing the wrong medication or the wrong dosage or filling a prescription incorrectly
- Medical history errors—Failure to obtain or adhere to a patient’s medical and medication history
This list is not exhaustive. We will consult medical experts who can clarify the treatment you should have received and the outcome you can expect when you reach maximum medical improvement.
Our Legal Team Will Obtain the Required Medical Malpractice Affidavit of Merit
Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451) requires an Affidavit of Merit to support your medical malpractice claim. A qualified medical professional must complete this form, attesting that the care you received veered from the acceptable standard and compromised your health. Our Kettering medical malpractice attorneys will obtain this critical document for you.
