Medical malpractice is defined as negligent behavior by a doctor, hospital staff or other
healthcare professional. There are many different forms of malpractice
of the medical type in Ohio and the implications can be serious, even
deadly. Many patients who were injured in this way, nearly 80,000 each
year, choose to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in hopes of receiving
medical malpractice compensation for their damages.

Medical settlements can also serve as a way to hold the physician or other
healthcare worker accountable for their actions.
