Medical malpractice law in Ohio requires that a doctor and/or provider meet minimum standards of care when providing treatment to their patients. If they fail to meet these standards, you may have a valid case against the doctor/hospital that caused you harm.

However, proper case evaluation can be expensive. Medical malpractice lawsuits require a doctor review your medical records and submit an affidavit stating that your care did not meet the minimum standards of care and that you have a valid claim against the doctor or provider.

In your case, you would need to have your medical records reviewed by a physician to determine whether the minimum standards of care were met. If they were not, then you would have a potential medical malpractice claim against the doctor/provider. One issue that routinely arises in these types of cases is whether the injury complained about is a known risk of the medical service that was provided. So, if your knee injury was a known risk, you may not be able to seek recovery through a medical malpractice lawsuit.
