I am currently a medical assistant. I am currently perusing my LPN. I plan on going
right back to school for my RN. I love my job I have been at Barberton Hospital since
March.
As a general rule, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice lawsuit in the state
of Ohio is for one year. The one-year period starts to run from the date the injury
occurred. I learned that if you aren’t quick and don’t show much evidence you wont get
anywhere with anyone because theyre quick to believe the professionals before the
patient.
Me personally I don’t have a example but my mother got a both her breast removed and
it was a botched job and because it was so she sued her surgeon due to him not sewing
the muscle the way it needed to be and her implant sitting on her ribs and the
liposuction not being done correctly. The doctor was dismissive of her concerns. And
she ended up winning the lawsuit because she got sick due to him leaving a gauze
inside her during the procedure.
