Cleveland Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death, and Nursing Home Claims

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider breaches the requisite standard of care while providing treatment, thereby causing injury to a patient. To be successful, the victim must show that the health care provider violated an objective medical standard of care. Because it is difficult to show that this standard has been violated, medical malpractice claims must be evaluated by experienced attorneys along with medical personnel to determine their merit. Slive & Slive Co., L.P.A. accepts medical malpractice claims on a contingency fee basis and will evaluate your claim without charge.

The general statute of limitations for a medical malpractice claim in Ohio is one (1) year after the malpractice event. A new Ohio law requires the testimony of a medical expert to support the medical malpractice claim.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim alleges that the death was a result of the defendant’s negligence and that surviving dependents and/or beneficiaries are entitled to monetary compensation as a result. Slive & Slive will use our expertise to determine if you have a viable claim and to pursue your claim vigorously for you.
