Medical Malpractice Attorney in Dayton
When you go to the doctor, you expect him or her to make you better, not worse. However, healthcare providers are only human, and they too make mistakes. Unfortunately, when doctors make mistakes, the mistakes can be life-altering, if not life-threatening. That said, healthcare providers are extensively trained to follow certain protocols and prevent injury. When an injury does occur, the question of malpractice is raised. If the doctor had done things differently, could the injury have been prevented? Would another physician have acted in a similar manner in the same situation?
When victims of malpractice turn to The VanNoy Firm, our Ohio medical malpractice attorneys strive to answer these questions and others that may point to liability. If you or a loved one was injured by a healthcare provider, and if you want both answers and justice, contact our law firm today.
Common Causes of Malpractice
Malpractice takes many different forms and does not always result in outright injury. In fact, the more lethal forms of malpractice do not present themselves in the form of scars, objects left in patients, or other physically visible maladies. The most common causes of medical malpractice are as follows:
- Diagnostic Errors: Diagnostic errors make up approximately one-third of all medical malpractice claims, which includes errors related to lab testing, or a doctor’s failure to appropriately assess a patient.
- Surgical Errors: Surgical and procedural errors were the second-most common causes of medical malpractice claims. Surgical errors often arise when surgeons perform a procedure on the part of the body, on the wrong patient, or perform the wrong procedure entirely. It is also not uncommon for surgeons to leave instruments or objects inside patients’ bodies.
- Medical Mismanagement: Medical mismanagement may involve giving too many blood transfusions, administering too much oxygen, causing infections, prematurely discharging patients, failing to follow up with patients, and ignoring patients’ claims that they are in persistent pain post-surgery.
- Medication Errors: Medication errors occur when the physician prescribes the wrong medication or the wrong dose, when the pharmacist fills the wrong medication, prescribes the wrong dose, or mixes up medications, or when the prescribing doctor fails to take into consideration adverse drug reactions that may occur by mixing drugs.
Holding the Appropriate Person Accountable
If you wish to hold the appropriate medical professional accountable for your own injuries or for the injuries or death of a loved one, you need to act fast. The general statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases in Ohio is one year after the alleged medical error. Ohio courts held that the time period begins when you detect the accident injury or if your relationship with the healthcare provider ends, whichever happens later.

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. From the first time I met with my team to our last interaction, I always felt like I wasn't a number or a case, I was a person. The whole team was professional, responsive to my calls and concerns, and fought for the outcome I deserved. They even sent me an Ele cupcake for my birthday. I recommend this firm to everyone I know and will return if I ever need services in the future!
Hannah
I am giving this firm a five-star rating for two reasons. First is the professional way in which I was treated. Every person I spoke with at this firm was professional and extremely courteous. I felt as though I was being treated as a natural person and NOT just a client. In many professional settings, clients are treated as such clients. Therefore they are held at arm's length. This gives off the impression a client is just a number, and there is a coldness and sterility to the service. I was NOT treated in this manner at the Vannoy Firm.…

Anthony VanNoy is an absolutely top-notch attorney. From start to finish, my case was handled with empathy, efficiency, and utter professionalism. The outcome was better than I'd dared to hope for and I cannot recommend him or his firm highly enough.

I first want to thank the staff and the company itself I work with Brittany and Patricia and it was so smooth on my end they took care of everything. They had no problem working with me even when I live the incident happened in a different state. Very very professional in my eyes and my family’s.
Diana
Keara Dever took the initiative to advocate for me in my very difficult situation. When no one else would listen to me, she did. She was very supportive and understanding and I am very appreciative for her services. She went above and beyond what I would have ever expected. Thank you so much Mrs. Dever. And by the way, she is AWESOME!!! Carl. M

Great experience and I would recommend to anyone in need of counsel for any civil/ Legal matter. They have people that specialized in certain areas and they can give you information or tell you which way you need to go with the case. I had a great experience and my friend called last week and the same professional help was given! Call them you won't be sorry!
