Understanding How to Prove Negligence in Your Medical Malpractice Case
The key to financial recovery after receiving medical treatment that was not up to medical standards is proving the legal elements of medical negligence. This means building an evidence collection that shows:
- Duty of care: The healthcare provider owed you a duty of care
- Breach of duty: Their actions breached their professional duty
- Causation: Your injuries were a direct result of their breach
- Damages: Your injuries led to a range of recoverable damages
We will also obtain a Certificate of Merit, as required by Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451, for all medical malpractice claims. It attests to the validity of your allegations and is drafted by a medical professional who is a peer to the professional who originally treated you.
We Build a Complete Collection of Evidence for Your Medical Malpractice Claim
To substantiate your medical negligence claim, we will collect the following evidence. Our team members will sort and organize your case file and submit it to the insurance company. Collected evidence will include:
- Medical records and bills
- Medical expert reviews and testimonials
- Lay witness statements
- Salary history records
- Injury photos where available
- Photos of the medical treatment center
- Lab and imaging test results
- First responder reports
We handle the evidence collection process for you, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
We Will Pursue Damages from Doctors and Other Medical Professionals
You can sue a medical provider who treated you with subpar care. You can also sue the hospital or other medical facility where they practice. Potentially liable parties can also include dentists, nurses, testing labs, and equipment manufacturers.
In some cases, you could have a claim against multiple at-fault parties. Our Trotwood medical malpractice attorneys will hold all responsible parties and their insurance companies accountable on your behalf.
