Ohio Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

Donahey Law Firm, LLP is based in Columbus, Ohio. They represent clients in Columbus and in the cities of Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield, Mansfield, Akron, Canton, and Toledo. Their expertise is in medical malpractice cases involving hospital negligence, doctor error, nursing neglect, wrongful death, and other types of medical malpractice. They also represent victims of anesthesia error, surgical mistakes, and pharmaceutical errors.

When our founding partner Dick Donahey founded The Donahey Law Firm in 1968, few law firms worked exclusively to protect the rights and claims of injured people. Many firms focused on corporate law, but few were willing to take the chance that The Donahey Law Firm did: to work for their clients on a contingency fee basis, in order to represent injured individuals who were often unable to pay large, up-front legal fees. If we don't collect monetary compensation on your behalf, we won't charge attorney fees.

In more than 40 continuous years of representing personal injury victims, we have helped thousands of people get the money they need in compensation for serious injuries or wrongful death. Our lawyers have helped them achieve tens of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts, including the highest single-year verdict in four counties — twice in Franklin County.

Ohio has a one year statute of limitations on medical malpractice claims, but there are exceptions in most cases. If you think that you or someone you care about may be the victim of medical malpractice, talk with an attorney as soon as possible. Acting quickly allows your attorney to conduct a thorough investigation and to file your medical malpractice claim in a timely manner.
