Standing Up for Patients and Families in Dayton
When you or someone you love seeks medical treatment, you put your trust in doctors, nurses, and hospitals. But when that trust is broken through careless mistakes, the results can be devastating — and sometimes permanent. If you suspect that a medical error caused you harm, you may have the right to pursue a medical malpractice claim in Dayton and hold the responsible parties accountable.
At Nancy Iler Law Firm, we fight for patients throughout Dayton, Kettering, Beavercreek, and Montgomery County who have been injured by preventable medical errors. Our team works to uncover what went wrong, secure answers, and obtain the compensation you need to move forward.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in Ohio
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to provide care that meets the accepted medical standard, resulting in patient harm. Proving a case requires showing:
-
Negligence: The provider acted (or failed to act) in a way that a competent professional would not have.
-
Causation: That breach directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
-
Damages: You suffered measurable harm — physical, emotional, or financial.
Ohio law also requires that a qualified medical expert review your records before filing a lawsuit to confirm there is a valid basis to sue.
When You Might Have a Medical Malpractice Case
You may have a claim if you or a loved one experienced:
-
A preventable surgical injury or wrong-site procedure
-
A missed or delayed diagnosis of a serious illness such as cancer or stroke
-
Anesthesia errors leading to brain damage or death
-
Birth injuries caused by negligent prenatal, labor, or delivery care
-
Failure to respond to emergencies or worsening symptoms
If you’re unsure whether what happened amounts to malpractice, a consultation with an experienced Dayton medical malpractice lawyer can give you clarity.
