How Your Pataskala Medical Malpractice Lawyer Determines Who is Responsible
At the Fitch Law Firm LLC, our attorneys provide compassionate support and are consistently available for questions and guidance once you start working with us. We’ll travel to meet with you at the hospital if you need, and we’ll handle all case-related paperwork and keep you updated about the status of everything.
Our Team Will Identify the Negligent Behavior that Caused Your Injury or Worsening Health
If you leave the hospital sicker and with more issues than you came in with, medical professionals may have been negligent. If you had a bad, neglectful hospital experience, you should get in touch with a Pataskala medical malpractice lawyer.
The people taking care of you in a hospital can make mistakes with patients that result in further medical issues. These mistakes could include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Medication error
- Surgical or anesthesia error
- Birth-related negligence, such as misuse of forceps or failure to monitor for preeclampsia
When you seek medical care, you expect thorough and competent treatment. However, negligence can lead to serious, life-altering complications—especially in cases of surgical errors or misdiagnosis.
Determining Negligence in Your Pataskala Medical Malpractice Case
Your Pataskala medical malpractice lawyer will investigate your case to establish negligence and liability. We must prove the following to establish medical malpractice:
- The medical professional had a responsibility to uphold their industry’s standard of care.
- The medical professional failed to uphold the standard of care (i.e., acted in a way that another professional in the same field in a similar situation would not have).
- Their breach harmed you.
- You incurred damages.
Our Lawyers Will Work to Identify the Liable Healthcare Provider or Facility
Though doctors are mainly responsible for your care, there are a lot of people involved. If you received care from any of the following medical providers, they could be responsible:
- Nurses
- Orderlies
- Medical clinics
- Physical therapists
- Pharmacists
- Urgent care facility
- Any part of a surgical team, such as an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist
In most cases, the hospital itself is also liable.
Everyone involved in your medical care is responsible for your safety. If you are suffering because of medical malpractice, we’ll work to hold parties responsible on your behalf.
Damages Our Lawyers Seek in Your Pataskala Medical Malpractice Case
Your case is specific to your experience, and your lawyer will work to understand what has happened and how we can help. We will build a case specific to your individual needs and seek compensation for you.
These are common recoverable damages in Pataskala medical malpractice cases:
- Medical costs: If medical malpractice means that you need a lot of continued appointments, treatment, and even surgery, we’ll seek compensation that reflects these new costs.
- Pain and suffering: Medical malpractice can result in chronic pain and other ongoing conditions that make life harder to navigate for you.
- Permanent disability: Severe ongoing medical issues can totally change your life and body. We’ll help you assess the changes to your lifestyle and put a monetary value on the compensation you deserve for the life change.
- Lost wages or earning potential: You may have to miss work (and pay) for medical treatments or recovery. If you lose your job or are no longer able to perform your job duties because of your injury, you deserve compensation.
Assessing economic and non-economic damages allows us to determine what fair compensation looks like in your case. We seek damages on your behalf to help you get your life back on track.
