See a medical doctor specialist to determine what can be done for you, what happened and if future treatment is needed.

Generally speaking, infection cases are rarely successful because infections are a common risk and complication of any surgery. The law requires you to prove that the medical provider's negligence caused you an injury. Just because you had a bad result, does not mean that the doctor was... View More
I had turned in paperwork for FMLA to my dr at an appointment. I filled everything out on my end and paid the fee to have it done. I was fired from my job of 10 years due to points and the fact that the fmla paperwork didn't get turned in. Before the due date of my paperwork I had called my dr... View More

Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local employment law attorney who can review all the facts of the situation and your termination and advise you, and then contact your employer about any violation of FMLA that the employer might have done. That might get your job back.
Am I able to do anything about it now?

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could approach product liability attorneys, and research online whether there are any legal actions involving the antibiotic. There is the issue of the passage of so much time, but that could be something to... View More

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks.

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney, based on these brief facts, there doesn't appear to be a strong basis for a medical malpractice case here. It looks like you sought an evaluation by a medical... View More

It's difficult to say, based on these facts alone. Was the ER doctor aware that an object was dropped on your head? Did you show visible signs of injury or complain of injury to the doctor? It's possible the doctor did not know what transpired during your imaging studies, as the only... View More
Never failed drug test or drug count. He had weaned me down from 100mg to 30mg which I have been on since the drug addicts started ODing.

I'm sorry for your ordeal. You need the medical opinion of a doctor here, not the general perspective of an attorney. You could present your records to a medical professional and ask them what they think. Attorneys are not medically qualified to make such determinations. Good luck

I'm sorry for the loss of your father. If you know nothing about the case, as in not knowing who the defendant was or who the attorney was, you could try the databases of the Ohio court system if you're fairly certain the case would have been litigated in Ohio. This is something an Ohio... View More

I'm very sorry for your loss. An Ohio attorney could address your question in the best manner, but your post remains open for three weeks.

My knee was installed at Mansfield Hospital it was installed at a 12 deg angle.
answered on Nov 20, 2019
You have not asked a question. If your question is whether you can go after the person who improperly installed your knee replacement, I would suggest going to see a medical malpractice lawyer asap.

Well the answer to this question depends upon whether your doctor harmed you personally somehow. Did he prescribe opioids for you? Did you become addicted or otherwise harmed?

About a week ago I had to bring my child into the emergency room for a mouth injury that needed stitches. The first hospital was unable to help us and sent us to Children’s Hospital instead. They looked at it but there was no ENT doctor available at the time. Instead of waiting until one arrived,... View More
answered on Sep 3, 2019
A lot depends on whether they increased the risk of harm to the child. A problem is that one hospital was a specialized hospital. However that being said, they are held to a higher standard. I suggest you contact a member of the Ohio Assn for Justice who handles medical care cases--they give free... View More
HypoPARAthyroidism was unheard of back then, and the doctors didn’t know how to help me. Today I am finally realizing what has actually happened to me. It took 9 years to be approved for disability. In 2001 I contacted 2 attorneys to file a malpractice case. I was denied by both of them.

I do not practice in Ohio, but as a general rule throughout many jurisdictions, medical malpractice statutes of limitations (time deadlines within which formal legal action must commenced) could be subject to allowances that provide additional time based on "discovery" of a condition.

If you have concerns about the sudden changes, try seeing another pain management specialist for a second opinion. However, it certainly is a new trend to decrease the use of pain medications.
