At Nurenberg Paris, we focus on complex physician, surgical, and hospital malpractice
claims, teaming our experienced trial lawyers with an in-house nursing support staff.
We regularly represent individuals who have died or suffered extensive injuries
resulting from the negligence of a hospital, physician, nurse practitioner, or other
health care provider.
Catastrophic cases may arise from a medical provider's failure to diagnose diseases;
refer patients to an appropriate medical specialist; adequately treat an emergency
room patient; recognize conditions that result in birth injuries; order necessary
lab tests; order or appropriately evaluate radiographic tests; order a biopsy; monitor
changes in a patient's condition; or properly assess lab results.
In Ohio there is a
limit on the amount of time an injured individual has to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, and certain
evidentiary conditions must be met before the case can be filed. Our decades of
experience with claims of medical negligence allow us to efficiently analyze medical
malpractice cases, simplify complex medical matters, and identify and aggressively
pursue the appropriate legal remedies.
When you or a loved one have sustained injuries
because of the improper care or treatment by medical providers,
contact one of the firm's premiere medical negligence attorneys
as soon as possible to discuss your potential claim for medical
negligence.
