Surgical Negligence - Holding Surgeons Responsible For Their Errors

Being on the operating table is one of the most vulnerable positions we are ever in. When a doctor’s recklessness or negligence causes you additional harm on the operating table, the consequences can be devastating. When a surgical error like this happens after violating a standard of care, it can take a skilled medical malpractice attorney to ensure the victim receives the fair and full compensation they need.

At Perantinides & Nolan, Co., L.P.A., we help our clients recover from all types of personal injuries and medical negligence. We have more than 50 years of experience guiding clients to the swift and fair outcomes in their cases to seek justice in their medical malpractice claims to hold hospitals and medical professionals accountable for their actions.

The Factors Of A Malpractice Claim

There are four key elements that need to take place for your malpractice claim to hold any water. There needs to be an established duty of the medical professional during the surgical procedure, proof that they violated that duty, proof of the consequences of that violation and the extent of the damages you sustained.

After a medical error, surgical error or anesthesia error, hospitals will act fast to avoid paying more than necessary or even to avoid paying any compensation at all. We can review your situation to gather all the information available to make the strongest case possible for you.

Our Experience Can Be Your Benefit

It can feel overwhelming to try and take on a hospital in your claim by yourself. Instead, let us stand at your side and guide you through your legal matters in a swift and efficient manner. Our history of success in these cases can even the playing field against hospitals and their large law firms and insurance companies, and we are ready to fight for you.

Earning Compensation In Uninsured/Underinsured Accidents

When a driver causes you to suffer an injury in an accident and they do not have sufficient insurance or insurance at all, they may leave you to bear the cost of their mistake. But, under Ohio law, you may still have options to cover the cost of your injury and recovery.

At Perantinides & Nolan, Co., L.P.A., our Ohio personal injury lawyers help our clients explore every option to pursue the ideal outcome in their personal injury claims. We know the cost of recovery in these cases, and it is our privilege to recover the compensation you deserve.

Options For Compensation

When the cost of your medical bills or property damages falls onto you, there are several options to help you secure fair compensation after being in a motor vehicle accident with a negligent driver. If you have underinsured motorist coverage with your own insurance company, they may be able to provide you with the compensation you need.

You may also be able to file a claim directly against the liable party, rather than their insurance company. Additionally, if a third party was liable for your accident, such as a construction company that created road hazards, you may be able to secure fair compensation for your injuries from them.

We take the time to review your unique situation to determine which course of action is best for you to secure the fair and full settlement you deserve for your injuries.

Trust In Our Guidance

We have decades of experience representing thousands of Ohioans with the most challenging personal injury claims. Contact our Akron office by calling 330-253-5454 or emailing us here.

Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit

Military personnel and their families deserve nothing less than safety and good health for their humble service of our country. 

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 has recently brought to light the presence of dangerous toxic chemicals in the Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River drinking water between the years 1953 through 1987. 

Routine testing of the water supply at Camp Lejeune in 1982 found that two out of the eight water supplies at Camp Lejeune; Hadnot Point and Tarawa Terrace, were found to be contaminated with highly toxic chemicals for over 30 years.

These drinking water sources were contaminated with benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene, or perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride (VC), all of which are known to be carcinogenic and/or harmful to humans. 

Water contamination sources at Camp Lejeune included cleaning solvents, fuel pollutants, and other pollution from leaking underground water storage tanks and waste disposal sites. Most of the contaminated wells were closed by February of 1985.

Marines, their families, and civilian workers stationed at Camp Lejeune and others who lived or worked on base at any time during the affected years may have been exposed to these contaminants. Contamination of water in some cases was shown to be up to 300 times the acceptable levels of these substances causing civilians, military, and families to potentially get sick, and even die.

If you or a loved one served, lived, or worked on US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina from August 1, 1953 - December 31, 1987, you may be entitled to compensation if you‘ve since been diagnosed with a number of different health conditions.

Exposure may have lead to the following cancers, diseases, or complications:

• Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
• Bladder cancer
• Brain cancer
• Breast cancer
• Cardiac defect
• Central Nervous System cancer (CNS)
• Cervical cancer
• Colon cancer
• Epilepsy
• Esophageal cancer
• Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis)
• Female Infertility
• Hodgkins Lymphoma
• Immune disorders
• Kidney cancer
• Kidney damage
• Kidney disease
• Laryngeal cancer
• Leukemia
• Liver cancer
• Lung cancer
• Miscarriage
• Multiple myeloma
• Myelodysplastic syndromes (“MDS” or aplastic anemia)
• Nerve damage
• Neurobehavioral effects
• Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
• Ovarian cancer
• Parkinson’s disease
• Prostate cancer
• Rectal cancer
• Renal toxicity/disease
• Scleroderma

“The Camp Lejeune Justice Act” is a bi-partisan bill currently working its way through Congress with the mission to grant Camp Lejeune’s victims the help to attain legal assistance needed to receive overdue justice and compensation they deserve for the serious health conditions which may have arose due to exposure to these toxic chemicals.

FAQs About The Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit

Who Can We Help?

Can I File a Claim and How?

While there is no way to currently file a claim, there is a bill pending in the United States Senate that, if passed, would open up the opportunity those who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more, between 1953 and 1987, and got sick as a result would be entitled to file a claim. Claims would be able to then be filed regardless of the date of diagnosis.

Once the Bill Passes, How long do we have to file a claim?

The law will allow those who qualify to file claims for TWO YEARS from the date the bill is signed into law. Any claim thereafter could be subject to dismissal.

What if a potential victim is deceased?

Deceased individuals, regardless of when they passed, can qualify for a claim through their family and/or representative. Their family may be entitled to compensation if the death was related to the contaminated water.

Dog Bites

Dogs are not supposed to bite people, but unfortunately, they still do. When a person in Ohio is bitten by a dog, they have certain legal rights.

If you have been injured by a dog bite, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses. There are several ways you may be able to recover compensation for your dog bite injuries under Ohio law. The experienced attorneys at Perantinides & Nolan in Ohio can assist you if you decide to take legal action against a responsible party for the dog bite injuries you have sustained.

Understanding Ohio's Dog Bite Laws

Ohio Revised Code section 955.28 states that the owners and harborers of dogs that bite people can be held strictly liable for the injuries caused by the dog.

- A “harborer” is typically considered to be the person who has possession or control of a dog.

Landlords are generally not considered to be “Harborers” under Ohio law, but CAN be held liable if their tenant’s dog bits someone in a common area such as a sidewalk, parking lot, foyer, or hallway, or if the dog bite occurred in an area shared by both the landlord and the tenant.

Owners of dogs that bite people may be able to avoid liability if it is shown that the bitten person was a trespasser on the Owner/Harborer’s property or was teasing or torturing the dog at the time they were bitten.

You and your attorney will have to prove to obtain compensation under the Ohio statute:

- The defendant owned or harbored the dog at the time of the incident.

- The victim sustained injuries from the dog bite.

- The injured party did not commit a crime, trespass, or did not annoy the dog.

- The defendant knew of the dog’s viciousness, and the dog was kept negligently after the keeper knew of its viciousness.

Strict Liability in Dog Bite Cases

When you want to file a lawsuit in Ohio against an owner, keeper, or harborer of a dog based upon injuries you have sustained from a dog bite, Ohio law provides a number of different theories of recovery including strict liability and negligence. The attorneys at Perantinides & Nolan can advise you as to the best course for you. 

Is a landlord considered a “Harborer”?

Landlords are generally NOT considered a “harborer” of a tenant’s dog in the following circumstances:

- A landlord can be liable if the tenant’s dog attacks someone in a common area or an area shared by both the landlord and the tenant. 

- Common areas include sidewalks, parking lots, foyers, and hallways.

If you are bitten by a dog, what should you do?

If a dog bites you, you should take the following 5 steps after the dog attack.

1. Be sure to seek immediate medical attention and keep all information you obtain from your medical care.

You should be treated for your injuries immediately after an attack. Dog bites have a high risk for infection and can be quite harmful. It is also crucial to retain all documentation about your dog bite treatment.

2. Write down the details of the dog bite, including the location of the bite and the contact information for the dog’s owner or harborer. You should also note any witnesses to the bite and photograph all of your injuries.

Note the details of the dog bite, including the location the bite occurred and the name and contact information of the dog owner/harborer.

You may also want to ask the dog’s owner/harborer if they have homeowner’s insurance, and if so, the name of the insurance company.

Write down the names and addresses and phone numbers of any person who witnessed the bite. This information will be helpful when attempting to submit a legal claim in addition to your treatment documents.

3. Contact the police to file a police report.

Contact the authorities and obtain a police report.

4. Contact your local health commissioner within 24 hours to file a report.

You should also make a report within 24 hours of the occurrence with the local health commissioner.

5. Contact a Dog Bite Attorney You Can Trust

Veteran’s Affairs Complaints

As members of America’s finest and bravest, our veterans deserve the best possible care and support in their moment of need.

In exchange for their service to our country, veterans should be able to rely on the system of health care providers employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide them with proper and appropriate medical treatment.

When our veterans are not treated with the high level of care they have earned, they may be entitled to financial compensation. In certain cases, doctors fail to diagnose diseases in time, leading to lengthy hospital stays or even death. Nurses forget to administer prescribed medications. Surgeons fail to warn patients about the risks of surgical procedures. Psychologists neglect warning signs indicating a patient is at risk for suicide. Our veterans deserve only the best, and when the health care providers of the Department of Veterans Affairs do not provide veterans with adequate medical attention, the costs and consequences can be dire.

If you or someone you love is a veteran who was injured due to the negligence of a health care provider at one of our many Veterans Affairs’ hospitals and clinics, 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 the negligence of Veterans Affairs’ hospitals and clinics, you may be entitled to compensation for your loss of future support, love, and companionship as part of a wrongful death claim. Our lawyers would consider it a privilege to evaluate the specific details of your case and to answer any questions you might have in a compassionate, honest manner.

The task of taking on the Federal government to recover compensation for your injuries may seem intimidating, but the lawyers at the law firm of Perantinides & Nolan have helped many victims and their families recover compensation for these injuries. Our attorneys have the knowledge and skill to present your claims to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and pursue the recovery which injured veterans and their families may be owed.

Cases against the Department of Veterans Affairs are subject to a time limit which could bar any potential recovery. Time is of the essence. If you suspect that you or a loved one suffered injury or death as a result of negligence by a Veterans Affairs health care provider, please contact one of our attorneys in the Akron / Canton / Cleveland, Ohio areas.

Misdiagnosis

Failure to Treat and Diagnose, Delay in Diagnosis

Misdiagnosis of cancer and other ailments is an increasing issue and is one of the leading medical malpractice cases. Misdiagnosis or delays in diagnosis can cause an array of health problems, stress and financial issues for patients and loved ones.  Misdiagnosing or delaying to diagnose any ailment can greatly reduce the survival rate of the patient and the length and quality of life. 

Did You Know?

• 15 Percent of all medical cases in developed countries are misdiagnosed (American Journal of Medicine)
• Up to 44 percent of some types of cancer are misdiagnosed (Journal of Clinical Oncology)

Just a Few Verdicts the P&N Team has Reached:

Misdiagnosis and Delay in Diagnosis of Lung Cancer: A 42-year-old male was evaluated by pulmonary specialist for a lung mass that was suspicious for cancer. The lung specialist failed to perform a complete the work-up of the patient and failed to make a definitive diagnosis of the of the mass that had been found on CT scan. However, the patient was told that he did not have lung cancer. After 34 months, the patient returned to the doctor with complaints of coughing up blood. The diagnosis of a terminal Stage IV lung cancer was made, which was inoperable and incurable. The defendant claimed that he was not negligent, that the patient did not have lung cancer when he had first seen him nearly three years earlier and/or if he did have lung cancer, that his life expectancy would still have been the same. After a five-day trial, the jury returned a verdict for the patient and his family in the amount of $2.3 million dollars. 

Failure To Diagnose Anatomical Anomaly In Newborn Infant: An infant was born with a vertebral abnormality of the spine that was not recognized. Since the abnormality was missed on the X-ray, the infant suffered a spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis and quadriplegia. A confidential eight-figure settlement was reached with the parties.

Failure To Diagnose Pulmonary Embolism: A 40-year-old female had difficulty breathing due to a pulmonary embolism which had not been diagnosed. She sought care from her family doctor, urgent care facility and emergency room. None of these providers recognized the signs and symptoms of a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot in a main vessel of the lung, which often can be a fatal condition, if not timely diagnosed. Tragically, the patient died at home. A confidential settlement reached.

Late Cancer Diagnosis

Late cancer diagnosis is an increasing issue and is one of the leading medical malpractice cases. Late diagnosis can cause an array of health problems as well as financial issues for patients and loved ones.  Delay in diagnosing cancer can greatly reduce the survival rate of the patient and the length and quality of life. 

What Are Common Causes of Late Cancer Diagnosis?

The doctor does not take your concerns seriously enough and therefore sends you home without ordering appropriate tests and screening. The doctor must be aware of all current signs and symptoms of early cancer development and must be able to ask the right questions and pick up on signs and symptoms.

Preventative Measures

It is always important to get a second opinion.  No one knows your body better than you.  If you are not feeling well and your regular doctor doesn't find anything wrong, go to another doctor for a second opinion.  It could save your life since the most important part of curing cancer is early detection. 

For women, it is important to get regular mammograms to prevent late breast cancer diagnosis.

Brain Injury Cases

Brain Injuries can be caused by errors due to medical malpractice or caused by accidents and injuries.

The results, too, can vary, but are generally devastating and expensive.

Other Facts from the Brain Injury Association

• A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a blow, jolt or bump to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain.
• 2.4 million people, including 475,000 children, sustain a TBI in the U.S. each year. 5.3 million individuals live with life-long disability as a result ofTBI.

The injury requires access to a full continuum of medically necessary treatment and community-based supports furnished by interdisciplinary teams of qualified and specialized clinicians working in accredited programs and appropriate settings.

The costs to treat brain injuries are staggering:

• Average hospital-based acute rehab is about $8,000 per day
• Range for post-acute residential is about $850 to $2,500 per day

To err may well be human, but that doesn’t mean that you should have to pay for the negligent or wrongful actions of another. Whether an accident occurs due to failure to stop, failure to yield, texting while driving, road rage, failure to pay attention, we believe that the party responsible for causing the accident should be held accountable.

Nursing Home Negligence & Elderly Abuse

Failure to Prevent Falls, Bed Sores and Ulcers, or Medication Errors are too common in Hospitals and Nursing Homes

It is a terrible feeling if you think or know your family, friend or loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect. These types of things happen at Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and even with At-Home Care Services all throughout Ohio.

Here is some information to help you find warning signs, learn more about patient rights, and what to do when nursing home neglect is suspected. 

Our firm has successfully handled a number of claims relating to the failure to appropriate monitor, evaluate and /or prevent patients from falling, or developing bed sores and decubitus ulcers. Depending upon the patient’s condition and circumstances, fall protection may need to be applied, or special precautions may need to be taken to prevent bed sores and ulcers.

Resident Rights & Facts Regarding Patient Rights in Ohio Nursing Homes

Nursing home residents have patient rights and certain protections under the law. The nursing home must list and give all new residents a copy of these rights. According to Medicare.gov

Resident rights include:

• Respect: You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

• Services and Fees: You must be informed in writing about services and fees before you enter the nursing home.

• Money: You have the right to manage your own money or to choose someone else you trust to do this for you.

• Privacy: You have the right to privacy, and to keep and use your personal belongings and property as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights, health, or safety of others.

• Medical Care: You have the right to be informed about your medical condition, medications, and to see you own doctor. You also have the right to refuse medications and treatments.
• Cleanliness: The nursing home should provide a clean, sanitized environment, help keep patients clean, and staff should wash hands before caring for each patient. Staff should wear proper PPE when necessary. 

Some Common Types of Neglect Are:

• Fall Down Incidents
• Broken Bones or Fractures
• Unexplained Bruises, Cuts, and Injuries
• Wrongful or Unexpected Death
• Drug and Medication Errors
• Drug Overdose, Abuse & Neglect

• Scrapes, Bruises, Bumps, and Scabs
• Increased Complaining 
• Other Behaviors which are unlike the patient

Defective Products & Product Liability

If you have suffered an injury due to a defective product, our attorneys in Akron, Ohio may be able to help you obtain compensation under the law of product liability. 

When you buy a product, you place a certain implicit trust in the designer, manufacturer, and seller of that product.  This law protects the rights of consumers by holding manufacturers and suppliers potentially liable for any injuries that result from flaws in the design, manufacture, or marketing of a product. Depending on the type of defect, a product liability suit can be brought against anyone involved in the creation or sale of the product, including the designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer. As long as the product was at one point “sold” during the normal course of business, the suit can be filed on behalf of anyone who was injured by the product, not simply the legal owner.

In many product liability cases, our attorneys in Akron are not required to give evidence of negligence against any specific party, particularly in those cases involving manufacturing defects. In such cases, the defect itself is considered sufficient evidence that negligence occurred at some point during the manufacture of the product. In suits brought against the designer, however, it is usually necessary to present evidence of negligence, usually demonstrating that a product was inherently unsafe from the beginning, and that safer alternatives existed but were not used. The most common marketing defects involve inadequate labeling and the failure to warn consumers of potential dangers that could arise from normal use of the product.

What is common to all product liability cases filed by our attorneys in Akron is the necessity to demonstrate that your injury was indeed caused by a defect in the product, and that this defect rendered the product unsafe to use for its intended purpose. Each product is held to a unique standard of safety, a standard that is presumed to have been met when the product is made publicly and legally available to consumers for purchase. When this standard has not been met for any reason, the product is considered unreasonably dangerous, and any injuries that result from this may be actionable. Obviously, this standard would be far different for a power saw as compared with a cellular telephone. Our defective product attorneys in Akron assess each potential product liability claim on a case-by-case basis, carefully evaluating all the circumstances of the case to determine whether it is wise to proceed with legal action.

Not everyone who has been injured by a product is necessarily eligible for compensation. For example, people who alter a product against manufacturer specifications or ignore clear warning labels may have disqualified themselves from seeking damages. Likewise, if you are injured by a clearly unsafe product to which no reasonably safe alternative exists and were properly advised of potential hazards involved in its normal use, you may not have a valid product liability claim. Still, the best course of action if you have been injured by a product is to consult a qualified attorney immediately, particularly if you are unsure as to who is at fault. There is no harm in soliciting a legal opinion, and you may well be entitled to damages. Our product liability attorneys in Akron would be pleased to evaluate your case at no charge to you.

Some Product Liability and Defective Products Cases We Handle Include:

• Appliances
• Automobiles
• Contact Lens Solution

Birth Injury & Birth Trauma fall under the category of Medical Malpractice. 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 in 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 and give you the care you deserve.

Some Birth Injury Verdicts We Have Reached Include:

Birth Injury and Trauma:  Pregnant mother presented to the labor and delivery department to give birth to her first child.  In order to accelerate the labor process, the labor and delivery staff administered Pitocin. Fetal heart tracings reflected that the infant began suffering from late decelerations:  That was a sign that the baby’s heart was not able to tolerate the contractions and therefore may not be getting enough oxygen to the vital organs.  The L&D staff failed to timely recognize the warning signs evident on the fetal heart tracings and schedule a prompt C-section.  As a result, the baby was born with significant brain damage and physical disabilities. The jury rendered a 7 figure verdict.

Failure to Diagnose Anatomical Anomaly in new born infant:  Infant was born with a vertebral abnormality of the spine that was not recognized.  Since the abnormality was missed on x-ray, the infant suffered a spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis and quadriplegia.  A confidential 8 figure settlement was reached with the parties.

Loss of finger tips of Premature Infant:  A premature infant was admitted to the ICU.  IV lines had been placed in the infant’s arm. However, ICU staff failed to monitor the IV lines which blocked the blood supply to the baby’s hand and fingertips.  The baby had to have  four of her finger tips amputated.  A 6 figure verdict was  reached.

Some Areas in Birth Injury & Birth Trauma We Handle Include:

• Brain Injuries
• Cerebral Palsy
• Failure to Properly Interpret Fetal Heart Tracings
• Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

Compassionate Representation in Your Time of Need

Helping those who have been injured due to hospital negligence.

When you require medical treatment, it is reasonable to expect that a hospital will provide professional care of the highest, most trustworthy standard. Indeed, all hospitals are legally and ethically obligated to meet this standard at all times and for all patients. When hospitals fail in this obligation, whether by careless or willful act, they may be guilty of hospital negligence. Our lawyers believe that the bond of trust between patient and hospital is a sacred one, and that when it is violated, the responsible parties should be made to answer.

Our firm has successfully handled a number of claims relating to the failure to appropriatly monitor, evaluate and/or prevent patients from falling, or developing bed sores and decubitus ulcers.  Depending upon the patient’s condition and circumstances, fall protection may need to be applied, or special precautions may need to be taken to prevent bed sores and ulcers.   

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.
