Decades of Representation in Medical Malpractice Cases

Consult Your Cincinnati Personal Injury Lawyer at The Moore Law Firm

According to the National Academy of Sciences, medical errors injure 1.5 million people annually and cost in excess of $3.5 billion each year. There is a significant societal bias for doctors and against the victims of medical malpractice. The overwhelming majority of jury verdicts are in favor of doctors and hospitals (about 90 percent in Ohio). These types of cases are expensive and difficult. They require an understanding of medicine and the law. Further, an attorney representing malpractice victims must commit an extraordinary amount of time and money to each case. Having contacts in the medical community are essential to locating doctors willing to criticize other doctors. The lawyers at The Moore Law Firm have handled many medical cases over decades. As dedicated Cincinnati personal injury attorneys, they have the experience and background to effectively represent victims of medical errors. Donald C. Moore Jr. first started investigating medical malpractice cases as claims adjuster for some of the largest hospitals in Cincinnati, back in the 1970s. Since he began his private practice, he has only represented the victims in medical malpractice cases. His son, Daniel N. Moore, clerked for a well known medical malpractice law firm before he began working with his father. Attorney Robert A. Herking brings his years of trial experience to his personal injury and medical malpractice practice. A Cincinnati personal injury lawyer at The Moore Law Firm can help if you or a loved one has become the victim of medical malpractice.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can occur in a variety of settings, from the doctor’s office to the operating room. Some common types of medical malpractice include:

• Administering the wrong dosage of a medication to a patient or giving the patient the wrong medication altogether, because of errors in communication between members of a medical staff or even bad handwriting in medical records.
• Surgical errors, such as leaving a foreign object, such as a tool or sponge, inside the patient following the medical procedure, or performing a procedure on the wrong part of a patient’s body.
• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of a serious medical condition, which can delay appropriate medical treatment, making the medical condition worse or killing the patient. Medical professionals sometimes even diagnose diseases the patient does not have, such as cancer, causing unwarranted psychological trauma and subjecting the patient to treatments he or she does not need and that might make a healthy patient sick.
