What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Xenia?
Medical malpractice can include a wide range of negligent actions. Ohio negligence laws allow you to seek compensation for the following:
- Failure to diagnose
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
- Wrong-site surgery
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia errors
- Ignored medical history
- Dental damage
- Failure to disclose risks
Our Xenia medical malpractice lawyers will collect the evidence needed to hold the medical professional or facility where you received care accountable for your injuries.
Your Medical Malpractice Claims Must Include an Affidavit of Merit
Ohio Revised Code Section 2323.451 requires you to support your medical malpractice claim with an Affidavit of Merit. A medical peer of the person who treated you must prepare this mandatory document. It must also:
- Define the acceptable standard of care you should have received
- Describe the medical care you received and its deviation
- Describe the qualifications of the medical professional who prepared it
- Be filed alongside your medical malpractice lawsuit in Ohio
You do not have to find a preparer who meets the state’s requirements or prepare the necessary document alone. Find out how our Xenia medical malpractice lawyers can obtain your Affidavit of Merit. Contact our consultation team at The Fitch Law Firm LLC to get started today.
Additional Evidence We Collect to Substantiate Your Claim
Your medical malpractice compensation claim must include proof of the validity and value of your claim. The case file we build for you may contain:
- Your pre-claim medical records
- Medical records that document malpractice
- Photos and videos of your injuries, if applicable
- Past, current, and future medical bills
- Testimonials from relevant medical experts
You could still have a valid claim even if you signed a consent form. We will request a copy of it and any other correspondence or communication between you and the treatment facility or insurance company.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
