Your health is your most precious and irreplaceable asset. When you place your health in the care of medical professionals, you are essentially trusting them with your most priceless possession. In order to ensure that this trust is respected, health care providers are both legally and ethically bound to a rigorous standard of treatment that must be met every time they render their services. The failure to meet this standard, either accidentally or willfully, constitutes medical malpractice. Our attorneys in Akron, Ohio are experienced in all areas of medical malpractice law, having successfully tried numerous cases and achieved consistently superior results on behalf of their clients.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical malpractice, the attorneys of Perantinides & Nolan in Akron, Ohio can help. Our attorneys represent clients in medical malpractice cases, working with experienced and respected health care professionals in order to build the strongest case possible on your behalf. We have extensive experience in all types of medical malpractice lawsuits and may be able to help alleviate the overwhelming pressures facing your family, including medical bills, lost wages, and lost financial support. In the area of medical malpractice, our knowledgeable attorneys have been successful in birth trauma cases, birth injury cases, brain injury cases, nursing home neglect cases and hospital neglect cases just to name a few of our areas or practice.
Birth Injury & Birth Trauma
The consequences of medical malpractice are often tragic, but never more so than when the victim is a baby who is injured during the birth process. Birth injuries can permanently compromise a child’s health, turning what should have been a joyous occasion into a time fraught with anxiety, fear, and dread. If your child has suffered a birth injury, our attorneys in Akron, Ohio, may be able to help you to recover damages.
Birth injuries include shoulder dystocia, Erb’s palsy, skeletal deformities, and cerebral palsy. Our attorneys collaborate with reputable medical experts in order to build the strongest case possible on your behalf, working toward a settlement if possible and fighting aggressively in court when necessary. We have the sensitivity and compassion to help your family through this period of intense suffering, as well as the experience and knowledge necessary to maximizing your recovery. We understand that nothing can truly compensate for the damage to your child’s health. However, birth injuries can involve major long-term expenses, and we want to help alleviate some of that financial burden. Your family has already paid enough in emotional costs; you shouldn’t have to suffer financially, as well.
Our birth injury attorneys are experts in medical malpractice law. We have an intimate knowledge of medical regulations and the standards to which health care professionals are bound at all times. If your child was injured due to the inability or failure of medical professionals to provide appropriate and timely care during the birth process, we can help you to achieve the justice you deserve.

Hospital Negligence
The results of hospital negligence are often dire, including severe injury, permanent disability, and wrongful death. The lawyers at the law firm of Perantinides & Nolan have helped many victims and their families recover compensation for these injuries, most of which involve significant long-term expense and suffering. If you have been injured due to hospital negligence, you may be eligible to collect a recovery for lost wages, pain and suffering, medical expenses, mental anguish, and other losses and damages. If your family has suffered the loss of a loved one due to hospital negligence, you may further be able to collect for loss of future support, love, and companionship as part of a wrongful death claim. Our lawyers would be pleased to evaluate the specific details of your case and to answer any questions you might have in a compassionate, honest manner.
Hospitals are responsible for all aspects of the care they provide, including employees, equipment, and proper maintenance of the facilities. They must take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of their patients and the adequacy of their services. If they fail to do so, and you are injured as a result, you may have grounds for a hospital negligence suit. Please contact our lawyers if you have any further questions or if you would like to schedule an initial legal consultation.
Some Other Specific Areas We Handle Include, But Are Not Limited To:
Nursing Home Negligence
