Pay Nothing Out of Your Pocket to Hire Our Results-Driven Law Firm
The traditional costs of hiring a lawyer can include a substantial retainer and hourly attorney’s fees that start immediately. However, you do not have to take on the insurance company alone due to concern about how much it costs to sue someone. If their client’s negligence compromised your health, we will pursue damages on your behalf.
Our service is also risk-free—we will not receive compensation from you unless we recover it for you. Thus, you will owe us nothing if you do not receive a financial award.
How We Prove Your Injury Meets the Legal Definition of Medical Malpractice
To prove you are entitled to compensation, our Vandalia medical malpractice lawyers will establish the following four elements of medical malpractice :
- Duty of care: The medical professional or facility owed you a professional duty of care.
- Breach of duty: The care provided by the at-fault party breached their professional duty.
- Causation: The result of the at-fault party’s breach was the direct cause of your injury.
- Damages: You suffered financial and psychological harm because of the medical provider’s breach.
Examples of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, wrong-site surgery, anesthesia errors, pharmacy errors, adverse drug interactions, and ignored medical history. We also identify the at-fault party, including doctors, nurses, hospitals, laboratories, and dentists.

Our Medical Malpractice Team Will Build a Persuasive Evidence Collection
Your case file is a crucial part of your claim. It will contain all the evidence needed to prove your right to recovery and steer your case toward a settlement versus a trial. Our team members will compile the following:
- Pre- and post-injury medical records
- Relevant medical bills
- Expert medical opinions
- Photos and video footage
- Proof of lost income
Your evidence collection will also include an affidavit of merit. This form is a mandatory part of your medical malpractice lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451. It will attest to the validity of your allegations based on the findings of a healthcare provider on par with the one named in your claim.
Your lawyer will obtain all the information your case file needs, including identifying a qualified medical peer to complete the affidavit of merit. We’ll also ensure we meet the one-year statute of limitations on medical litigation set by Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.113.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
