Ohio’s Medical Malpractice & Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Based in Columbus, Serving Statewide

Our clients lost their 30-year-old family member to a senseless act of gun violence. We filed a wrongful death action against the assailant, and the family of three was awarded damages to acknowledge the monumental loss they sustained.

We represented a young client who sustained catastrophic brain injury following a procedure during which an inappropriate respiratory device was used. As a result, the client's airway could not be maintained and the client coded. The client could not be resuscitated for over 10 minutes, causing the catastrophic brain injury.

In two separate incidents at an Ohio hospital, communication breakdowns led to disastrous outcomes. Employees of the hospital failed to relay vital information about the patients to key caregivers in a timely manner, resulting in death. In both instances, the parties reached confidential settlements.

We represented a baby who suffered life-altering consequences when caregivers failed to respond to a non-reassuring EFM (electronic fetal monitoring) strip. The baby suffered birth asphyxia, cerebral palsy, and spastic quadriplegia.

We represented a 60-year-old man who underwent multilevel laminectomy with placement of hardware. The patient's caregivers failed to appreciate ominous post-operative symptoms, signaling development of a spinal epidural hematoma. The patient developed permanent C5 quadriplegia.

We obtained a settlement for a baby born with physical disabilities due to obstetric malpractice. The baby suffered from oxygen deprivation prior to her delivery that led to permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy. As a result, she will require daily supervision for the rest of her life.

Untreated abdominal distension caused by a perforated duodenum led to cardiac arrest in a two-year-old. As a result, the child will remain in a vegetative state for the rest of her life.

Our client reported severe back pain over the course of several hospital visits. His severe back pain was spontaneous and unrelated to recent injury or trauma. Caregivers failed to order an MRI, which would have revealed a spinal epidural abscess. When the abscess was finally diagnosed, our client had already suffered permanent paralysis.

Our client underwent an emergent work-up for back pain, including chest imaging. Employees at the emergency department failed to communicate chest imaging findings concerning for lung cancer, so naturally, no follow-up was undertaken. Several years later, our client was diagnosed with life-limiting metastatic lung cancer.

As our client underwent routine knee surgery, the anesthesiologist somehow neglected to monitor our client's ventilator. As a result, our client suffered a gradual anoxic brain injury (inadequate oxygen to the brain), leading to his death. To its credit, the malpractice insurer for the anesthesiologist settled promptly after we filed a lawsuit because we were able to set forth the clear evidence against the anesthesiologist.

We represented the family of a 72-year-old resident of a skilled nursing facility who suffocated to death after a nurse failed to replace his oxygen delivery device.
