Cleveland Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Medical malpractice is defined as an injury to or death of a patient as a result of negligence by a doctor, health care professional, or health care facility. This may be caused by errors in health management, diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up care. Your medical malpractice claim should meet the following circumstances:

  • You believe the standard of care was not met;
  • You believe negligence was the direct cause of injury or death; and
  • You believe injury or harm resulted in considerable damages.

At KG Injury Law, our medical malpractice lawyers will work tirelessly to improve your recovery of damages and want you to feel comfortable throughout the process.

At KG Injury Law, the personal injury attorneys of Keis George LLP, we work wrongful death cases associated with medical malpractice. Wrongful death, due to medical malpractice, occurs when a healthcare provider is negligent and/or careless or commits a wrongful act, which leads to the death of the patient. Examples of healthcare providers include but are not limited to doctors, nurses, surgeons, midwives, hospital staff, and/or pharmacists.

Wrongful Death Resulting From Medical Malpractice

Unfortunately, there are many examples of wrongful death that may result from medical malpractice. Among these are the following:

  • Birth injuries;
  • Defective medical devices;
  • Emergency room errors;
  • Medication errors;
  • Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose or delayed treatment;
  • Nursing home abuse or negligence by healthcare providers; and 
  • Surgical errors.

Medical Malpractice Damages

Damages resulting from wrongful death may include funeral expenses; loss of financial support; pain and suffering; and loss of companionship, comfort, and love. We at KG Injury Law are intimately aware of these painful consequences. For that reason, our medical injury lawyers take the time to focus on client relationships as a foundation for a solid case. We invest in experts, and our persistence shows in the positive outcomes we provide for families and individuals dealing with the consequences of an injury, accident, or death.  

It is important to note that there are some limitations concerning wrongful death cases. Depending on the state you are living in, a statute of limitations may exist that could prevent any legal action two years beyond the date of the death. Once this period has passed, it may not be possible to take any legal action. Still, we will explore all paths for you and discuss your options.

Additionally, depending on each individual’s situation, there may be financial limits to what strategies you can pursue. These limitations will specifically relate to the type of damages sought, the type of lawsuit, and the relevant state law.

Notes on Wrongful Death Cases

As a subset of medical malpractice cases, there are some clear differences between general medical malpractice claims and wrongful death claims. Please keep the following in mind in terms of wrongful death claims:

  • In general, the person who files a wrongful death claim is the closest relative of the person who passed (i.e., spouse, parent, or child); and
  • In the scenario that the next of kin cannot be identified, the executor of the passed person’s estate may file a claim.
