Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Ohio

Their are several issues that need to be answered befor it can be determined whether the medical error justifies pursuing a claim. The first issue is whether the surgeons decision to move the parathyroid was a judgment call or whether it was below accepted standards at the time and that moving it was the wrong decision at the time. If the surgeon should not have moved it that satifies one element of a claim. The next issue is proving that the problems that you have had would more likely than not have been avoided by not moving the parthyroid. This may be more difficult to prove that all of your symptoms would have been avoided. The third issue is damages and in Ohio we have a limit on the amount you can recover for pain and suffering. The exact impact of the act of negligence will need to be determined and it will require an analysis of your prognosis with and without the movement of your parathyroid. If you would like to discuss this matter further without cost or obligation please feel free to contact my office. We have a former general surgeon on staff tht can determine whether your injuries are due to medical negligence and whether the nature of your injury can be quantified sufficiently to justify pursuing a claim of this nature. You have a 1 year statute of limitations.
