Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Medical Malpractice

When a doctor makes a mistake, the patient pays the price. The medical malpractice attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, hold doctors and other health care providers responsible for the damages they cause.

- Surgical Error

Every year in the United States, thousands of patients are needlessly harmed by preventable surgical errors — mistakes that never should have happened.

When doctors, nurses or others fail to follow accepted standards of care, and patients are harmed or die because of it, the attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., are available to pursue financial compensation for the injured parties or their survivors.

- Hospital Negligence

When patients are seriously injured by negligence, the hospital may be at fault. In an attempt to cut costs and improve profitability, hospitals can reduce staff and cut corners, leaving patients at risk.

- Medication Errors

Prescription medications have the power to prevent some medical conditions and treat others. They also have to power to cause permanent injury or death if they are prescribed or administered incorrectly.

- Birth Injury

Most babies are delivered without complication. But when problems do arise during pregnancy or delivery, they can result in serious injury to the child. In cases where such harm was avoidable, it is important that the legal rights of both baby and parent are protected.

- Dangerous Drugs

The attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, represent clients who have suffered serious harm from prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

We are well positioned to represent patients harmed by dangerous drugs. We have extensive experience in medical malpractice and a record of success at trial. In addition, we have an on-staff nurse to help us evaluate medical data.

- DUI

Alcohol was involved in 57 percent of the fatal motor vehicle accidents in Ohio in 2008, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Of the 1,607 total traffic fatalities that year, 909 deaths occurred in crashes in which alcohol was involved.

- Public Transportation and Common Carrier Accidents

If you were injured while traveling aboard any form of public transportation, from a municipal bus to a jetliner, you may have the right to be compensated for damages caused by negligence.

- Brain Injury

Most brain injuries are either caused by trauma (striking the head against an object or being struck by an object) or by lack of oxygen. Anoxic brain injuries are those caused by the total lack of oxygen to the brain. Hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain gets some, but not enough, oxygen. Toxic substances can cause damage to the brain directly or by interfering with the ability of the brain to use oxygen.

- Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering injuries. Living with a spinal cord injury and the paralysis it causes is physically, emotionally and financially challenging.

The attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, represent people whose spinal cord injuries were caused by the negligence of others. We hold negligent parties financially responsible for the full extent of the damages they caused.

- Trucking Accident

A fully loaded semi tractor trailer can weigh 80,000 pounds. An average passenger car or SUV may weigh 3,000 to 6,000 pounds. You do not have to be a mathematician to understand that a big rig can do a massive amount of damage to smaller vehicles in a truck accident.

- Wrongful Death

The wrongful death lawyers at Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., believe in the importance of providing individuals and families with the information they need to make decisions about wrongful death claims. That is why we offer a free no obligation consultation to potential clients contemplating filing a wrongful death claim. During that consultation, we spend the time to explain the legal definition of wrongful death and your rights under the law as a survivor or beneficiary, and we outline your options. To schedule an appointment to learn more about wrongful death claims, contact Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A.

- Nursing Home Abuse

It can be a difficult decision to place a loved one in a nursing home. Apart from the emotional aspects of such a decision, it can be very challenging to choose a home that you feel will meet the needs of your loved one. After they have begun staying at their nursing home, it is important that your loved one continue to receive the level of care you expected them to when you originally made that decision.
