If a healthcare provider's negligence caused your injury in Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Ohio law generally requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within one year of discovering the injury (R.C. § 2305.113) — acting quickly protects your legal rights.

When medical malpractice happens, we at Perantinides & Nolan, Co., L.P.A., help our clients hold medical professionals accountable for their mistakes and work tirelessly to help them recover for their injuries.
What Is At Stake In These Cases
“Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US, accounting for 250,000 deaths every year, according to an analysis released on Tuesday… Only heart disease and cancer are more deadly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” As published on the Guardian.
Medical malpractice is a broad term that encompasses many possible errors, from surgical mistakes to the failure to diagnose or treat a condition in a timely manner. The results too can vary but can be absolutely devastating and incredibly expensive. Medical malpractice can lead to serious personal injuries, permanent disabilities and even death, placing unexpected hardship on families who suddenly find themselves overwhelmed by grief and financial burdens. When a loved one dies due to a medical mistake, Ohio law allows families to pursue compensation for lost future financial support as well as loss of love, guidance, support and companionship.
