Advocating for Patients Harmed by Medical Negligence in Cincinnati
When you trust a doctor, nurse, or hospital to care for you, you expect competent, safe treatment. But when a medical mistake causes serious injury or death, the consequences can be life-changing. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a medical error, you may have the right to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Cincinnati to hold the responsible parties accountable.
At Nancy Iler Law Firm, we represent patients and families throughout Cincinnati and Hamilton County who have been harmed by medical negligence. We combine medical insight and legal strategy to pursue justice and secure the compensation you deserve.
What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice in Ohio?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to follow the accepted standard of care and causes harm to the patient. To succeed in a Cincinnati medical malpractice case, you must prove:
-
Negligence – The doctor or facility acted below the accepted standard of care.
-
Causation – That negligence directly caused injury or harm.
-
Damages – The harm resulted in medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, or wrongful death.
Under Ohio law, a medical expert must first review the patient’s records and provide a statement of merit before filing a lawsuit. Both sides will typically use medical experts to support their case.
Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Claim in Cincinnati?
You may have a valid claim if you or your family member experienced:
-
A severe injury or complication after surgery or treatment
-
A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis that worsened the condition
-
An anesthesia mistake causing brain damage or death
-
A preventable hospital infection or medication error
If you suspect negligence, speak with an experienced Cincinnati medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. These cases are complex and time-sensitive, and early investigation can make a significant difference in your outcome.
