What is a viable medical malpractice claim?

In every claim, a patient must establish several critical legal elements, in order for their case to be considered viable grounds for recovery of damages. These elements, which are relevant to claims in all states including Ohio, are as follows:

  • Establish a doctor-patient relationship existed and that a duty of care was owed by a physician to the patient to provide medical services at or above the applicable standard of care.
  • Prove a breach of the duty of care occurred. Often failure to provide medical services required by the standard of care is proof of breach of duty of care, which establishes that negligence has occurred.
  • Prove the breach of duty of care owed is the proximate cause of injuries, harm, losses, and any other damage claims relevant to recovery sought.
  • Document and prove viable damage claims, while demanding recovery for these losses and other damages.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim?

Every state has certain time limits called “statutes of limitations,” which restrict the length of time you have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. If you miss the deadline for filing your case, your claim may be dismissed by the court. This is why it is so important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after you suspect malpractice has occurred.
