Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Anderson Law Offices provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when an injury results from a medical professional's negligence. This happens when the liable party fails to exercise adequate care, skill or diligence when performing a duty. The duty of care depends on the standard of care for that professional or facility, within that community. Malpractice occurs when the medical professional fails to follow the accepted practices of similar professionals or facilities located in the same geographic area. Medical specialists are held to the standard of care of the specialty in the same geographic area.

To establish medical malpractice, a victim must show each of the following:

* The health care provider failed to exercise a duty of care; and
* The failure to exercise a duty of care resulted in the injury.

Expert witnesses are generally required in medical malpractice cases to establish the connection between the medical professional's negligence and the injury to the patient.

In some cases, a medical professional may have provided care as an employee of a hospital. In such cases, hospitals are generally liable for their employees' actions performed within the scope of employment. As a result, a hospital could be liable for the actions of a doctor or nurse employed by the hospital.

The specific rules governing medical malpractice in Ohio can be found in the Ohio Revised Code.

- Medical Malpractice Litigation

A medical malpractice action generally must be initiated within one year after the cause of action accrues, although the Ohio code might allow for a greater passage of time. Accrual in Ohio, according to the Ohio Revised Code, generally occurs when the victim discovers or should have discovered the resulting injury, or when the physician-patient relationship for the condition terminates (whichever happens later in time). Consequently, if you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, it is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of experienced legal counsel immediately to determine your options, to preserve your rights and get accurate advice regarding the statute of limitations for your case.

- Wrongful Death

If a loved one has died in an accident, or because of a defective product or someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to recover for the loss of your loved one under a wrongful death claim. Some common grounds for a wrongful death claim include:

* Defective medical devices
* Defective drugs
* Medical Malpractice
* Automobile Accidents
* Motorcycle Accidents

Under a successful wrongful death claim, the Ohio Revised Code indicates that you may be able to recovery of damages and expenses, including the following:

* Loss of wages, pensions, and other benefits that the deceased provided to his or her family
* Medical and funeral expenses associated with the death
* Mental anguish suffered by the surviving spouse, dependent children, parents, or next of kin of the decedent
* Loss of services of the decedent
* Loss of support from the reasonably expected earning capacity of the decedent
* Loss of love, companionship or care suffered by the decedent's survivors
* Loss of prospective inheritance to the decedent's heirs at law at the time of the decedent's death
* Pain and suffering the deceased suffered before death
* Punitive damages may also be available in some instances

A wrongful death claim must be raised on behalf of the estate of the deceased individual. This means that the executor named in the decedent's will or a court-appointed executor must file the wrongful death claim on behalf of the beneficiaries of the estate. The beneficiaries of a wrongful death claim can include the spouse, children, and parents of a deceased individual.

- Wrongful Death Litigation

Individuals dealing with the death of a loved one often have great difficulty making decisions and deciding how to respond to their unfortunate loss. One important issue that individuals must keep in mind is the applicable statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim. The statute of limitations is generally two years from the person's passing, according to the Ohio Revised Code.

If a loved one has been the victim of wrongful death, it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of qualified legal counsel to determine your options, to preserve your rights, and obtain accurate advice regarding the statute of limitations for your case.

- Birth Injury Law

Attorneys at Anderson Law Offices explains birth injury law in Ohio to parents whose children suffer from various birth-related conditions, including cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy. Our attorneys will examine the details of your case and gather the evidence to support your claim. Our goal is securing compensation for the client so that their children may have a better chance at living a normal life.

Birth injury lawsuits fall under the more general categories of medical malpractice and personal injury law. When you file a birth injury lawsuit, you must prove that your healthcare provider—for example, an obstetrician or a doctor—was responsible for injuries that your newborn suffered during childbirth. This can involve a physician failing to make the appropriate decision or take the appropriate action during the delivery or, it can also include the precautions that were not taken and the diagnoses that were never given.

According to birth injury laws in Ohio, the person filing a malpractice lawsuit must be able to demonstrate four conditions:

* That the medical professional had a legal duty to perform at a certain standard
* That the standard of care, as it is supposed to be practiced by the medical community, was not
* That the deviation from the standard of care was the direct cause of the injury
* That the injury caused damages (financial or emotional)

Under Ohio birth injury law, a lawsuit must be filed within one year of the discovery of the injury. As medical malpractice attorneys, we will ask: could your child’s injury have been avoided? If the answer is yes, we will commit ourselves to building a strong case in order to get the compensation that you and your child deserve.
