Frequently Asked Questions

Medical malpractice under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2305 involves healthcare providers' failure to meet the standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice may include misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, birth injuries, anesthesia errors, and other medical negligence. Proving medical malpractice requires expert testimony establishing that the healthcare provider breached the standard of care.
Under Ohio Revised Code 2305.113, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in Ohio is generally 1 year from when the cause of action accrued (typically discovery of the injury), but no more than 4 years from the date of the act or omission. Written notice to the defendant before the 1-year period expires may extend the filing deadline by 180 days. Exceptions apply for minors and discovery of foreign objects. Missing the deadline bars recovery, making it crucial to act quickly and consult an attorney immediately.
Medical malpractice compensation in Ohio may include economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, loss of earning capacity), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, loss of consortium), subject to damage caps under Ohio law. Ohio law caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but economic damages are not capped.
Under Ohio Revised Code 2323.43, non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases are capped at the greater of $250,000 or three times the plaintiff's economic loss, with a maximum of $350,000 per plaintiff or $500,000 per occurrence. For injuries involving permanent physical deformity, loss of use of a limb, loss of a bodily organ system, or permanent functional injury preventing self-care, the cap increases to $500,000 per plaintiff or $1,000,000 per occurrence. Economic damages are not capped. Caps do not apply to wrongful death (ORC Ch. 2125), Court of Claims cases, or claims against political subdivisions.
Medical malpractice cases are complex and require experienced representation. Medical malpractice attorneys understand medical standards of care, can retain medical experts, understand damage caps, handle complex litigation, and maximize compensation within Ohio's damage cap limits. Most medical malpractice attorneys work on a contingency fee basis and offer consultations.
