Euclid, Ohio Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Euclid, OH Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before beginning work as a healthcare provider, medical students take the Hippocratic Oath to remind prospective doctors of their crucial role as patients put their trust in them. Unfortunately, healthcare providers don’t always respect this oath and make mistakes, either deliberately or by accident. Medical errors can have devastating consequences and result in lifelong disabilities or even the death of a family member or loved one.

UNDERSTANDING MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN OHIO
Medical malpractice results from a healthcare provider making a drastic mistake. Doctors can commit errors of omission by failing to take necessary action. For instance, they can fail to administer a life-saving treatment on time. If you or a loved one has suffered at the hands of medical malpractice, the Henry Law Firm will fight for you.
Legal protection exists for patients. The law holds healthcare providers accountable if they have caused undue injury to a patient or the patient’s family. At the Henry Law Firm, we’ll help you understand your best course of action, and whether you should file a lawsuit against a medical practitioner.
There are also provisions to ensure two kinds of compensation for the victims: compensatory (an amount determined to be sufficient to put you where you would have been had you never suffered from medical malpractice), and punitive (up to twice the compensatory amount, intended as a punishment to the offender). Healthcare organizations carry medical malpractice insurance to cover these claims. With the help of one our attorney, you can obtain compensation for the following items:
- Lost wages
- Dependent family members
- Diminished quality of life
- Hospital bills
- Physical therapy sessions
- Costs for medical equipment
- Chronic pain medication or therapy
- We will work hard to obtain fair compensation for the medical error committed.
- We will negotiate to maximize the amount of your settlement and ensure you’ll get sufficient funds to cover lost wages, additional medical bills, or make up for a reduced quality of life if applicable.

EXAMPLES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
The healthcare sector is always innovating with new treatments and technology is opening new possibilities. There are now 160 different specialties and subspecialties for doctors in the U.S.
While having access to many treatments and specialties can improve patient outcomes, it also results in an increased risk of medical errors. Not all errors are serious enough to warrant a settlement, but the following categories are representative of the cases we handle.
ANESTHESIA ERRORS
Anesthesia is a common practice during surgery and other medical procedures. It requires a precise dosage customized to each patient and failing to administer the correct dosage can have serious consequences for the patient.
BIRTH INJURY
According to the CDC, around 3% of all babies have birth defects. Unfortunately, birth defects are the leading cause of death in infants and can sometimes result from medical errors during prenatal care or in the delivery room.
EMERGENCY ROOM ERROR
Emergency departments are extremely busy with around 130 million visits each year. This stressful and fast-paced environment often results in medical errors.
HOSPITAL MALPRACTICE
Hospitals need to follow strict compliance requirements and adopt their own best practices to deliver quality care. There are several cases where medical errors revealed a broader issue with hospitals failing to meet basic standards of care.
MEDICAL DEVICE ERRORS
Medical devices are valuable tools used to diagnose and treat an array of health conditions, but improper use can result in injuries.
MISDIAGNOSIS OR DELAYED DIAGNOSIS
Identifying health issues early improves patient outcomes, which is why the healthcare sector emphasizes preventative care. A delayed or incorrect diagnosis can have disastrous consequences for a patient and warrant a medical malpractice case.
POSTOPERATIVE ERRORS
There are risks involved with performing surgery. Patients are at risk of developing infections and other health issues when recovering. Failing to provide proper care after surgery can result in a medical malpractice case.
OTHER MALPRACTICE EXAMPLES
Over the years, we’ve seen medical errors in many different categories, including:
- Not paying attention to a patient
- Refusing to offer the proper medical treatment
- Administering drugs that have a negative reaction to other medications
- Failure to intubate
- Delay in sending a patient to see a specialist
- Performing a non-consensual surgery
- Giving a drug to a patient who has an allergy to that medication
- Failure to follow hospital protocols
- Disregard for monitoring or acting once a patient’s vital signs change
- Failure to inform the patient of instructions for a medical procedure
We’ll use our expertise to assess whether a healthcare professional committed medical malpractice regardless of the facility, treatment, or specialty involved.
