Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common types of birth injuries?

Birth injuries can occur before, during, or immediately after delivery. The most common type of birth injury is cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder caused by brain damage or lack of oxygen. Other cases our birth injury lawyer has represented include Erb’s Palsy, fractures, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and placental abruptions. Some symptoms of birth injuries decrease or completely heal over time. Others are life-long conditions requiring significant medical care. Consulting with our personal injury attorney will give you a complete understanding of your legal options and avenues you can take to secure financial compensation.

How can I tell if my loved one is being abused in a nursing home?

It can be challenging to tell if your loved one is being abused in a nursing home, especially if they suffer from cognitive issues or are afraid to speak up. Signs of physical abuse include unexplained bruises, untreated bedsores, or frequent falls. Emotional and sexual abuse may cause sudden anxiety, fearfulness, or withdrawal. If your loved one is being neglected, they will likely have poor hygiene, unexplained weight loss, or dehydration. Financial abuse is the most difficult to notice, but missing valuables, cash, frequent bank withdrawals, or unscheduled visits from an estate attorney could point to your loved one being scammed.

How much is a spinal cord injury lawsuit worth?

The value of a spinal cord injury lawsuit depends on several factors. The severity of your injury and the impact it has on your quality of life plays a significant role. You may be eligible to secure compensation for a variety of damages, including medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. In spinal cord injury cases where the at-fault party acted with gross negligence, the judge may award punitive damages as an additional financial consequence for their egregious behavior. Our spinal cord injury lawyer collects critical evidence to build your case and seek maximum compensation. We thoroughly investigate the accident, review your medical records, and consult independent medical experts to calculate a fair settlement amount.

What qualifies as medical malpractice?

To have a valid medical malpractice claim, you must be able to prove that a healthcare professional owed you a duty of care and that a breach of that duty directly caused your injuries. Medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought against negligent nurses, doctors, or hospitals. To prove medical negligence, you must show that the care you were provided was below the accepted standard of practice, resulting in unnecessary harm. The most common types of medical malpractice include surgical errors, misdiagnoses, wrong diagnoses, medication errors, birth injuries, and infections caused by poor hospital hygiene. Our medical malpractice lawyer will review your medical records and consult third-party experts to build your case for compensation.

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Eligibility to file a wrongful death lawsuit varies by state law. However, priority is usually given to surviving spouses and children. If the deceased is a minor, parents are eligible to file a claim. In less common situations, other financial dependents or legal heirs may be permitted to pursue a lawsuit as well. When there are no immediate family members to file a claim, the executor of the deceased estate may do so on behalf of the named beneficiaries. Typically, only one wrongful death lawsuit can be filed per incident. As a result, it may be necessary for multiple eligible parties to join the suit. Our wrongful death lawyer can review your case, confirm eligibility, and guide you through the legal process.

Cleveland’s Healthcare Shortages Impact Patient Care

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals in Ohio have struggled with a shortage of healthcare workers. These low staffing levels make it challenging for nurses and doctors to deliver the expected standard of care to their patients. Those employed are overworked and exhausted, making it more likely for mistakes to occur.

There are approximately 9,000 unfilled nursing positions in Ohio, meaning that those still working bedside are dealing with unusually high patient loads. These scenarios may lead to increased instances of misdiagnoses, medication errors, and longer response times, putting patients at risk of developing new or worsening conditions.

Many nurses are choosing to leave their positions due to the increasingly difficult working conditions, forcing hospitals to explore costly incentive programs and more lax hiring practices. The healthcare shortage remains a prevalent issue across the state, with an increasing number of patients requiring the assistance of personal injury and malpractice attorneys. Current reporting shows that in 2024, 188 medical malpractice cases were filed in Ohio, resulting in over $84 million in settlement payouts.

With over 80 years of combined experience, our Cleveland, OH medical malpractice lawyers are well-versed in the current state of the Ohio healthcare system and fiercely advocate for patient rights and injury compensation.
