An Ohio Malpractice Attorney or Cleveland, Ohio Injury Lawyer Can Help Pursue Fair Ohio Medical Settlements if You Have Been the Victim of a Doctor Mistake in Ohio

Every problem that occurs when you receive medical treatment or undergo surgery is not automatically medical malpractice or the result of a doctor mistake in Ohio. However, some mistakes are a result of medical malpractice, and you probably won't know unless you consult with an Ohio malpractice attorney.

If you or your child has been seriously injured after receiving medical treatment, you shouldn't assume that it wasn't the fault of your doctor or hospital. Even though you may wholeheartedly trust your physician or medical facility, you should know that mistakes can and do happen.

Cleveland, Ohio injury lawyer Chris Mellino, who has been tackling medical malpractice cases for nearly 3 decades, has a detective's knack for spotting medical errors and has helped many clients pursue Ohio medical settlements.

Ohio Malpractice Attorney: Examples of Cases We Handle

Some of the types of medical errors Mellino and his investigative team handle include: 

  • Failure to diagnose cancer in a timely manner - This kind of doctor mistake in Ohio can lead to the cancer spreading to other organs. When the cancer is finally diagnosed, it may be too late for effective treatment.
  • Anesthesia errors - It's common practice for the anesthesiologist to delegate duties to a lesser trained nurse anesthetist or anesthesia assistant, who will be tasked with handling potent drugs that could cause serious problems if you're not closely monitored. If safety protocols are ignored, the result could be brain damage, coma, or death.
  • Failure to order tests or review results - This happens more often than you might imagine. Doctors may assume that the lab will call if results are positive, or that the nurse will read the results. When communication problems arise, you may end up suffering.
  • Performing surgery on the wrong body part -Your surgical team could remove your healthy kidney instead of your diseased kidney, or your healthy leg instead of your leg affected by vascular disease.
