Welcome

Toledo Medical Malpractice Attorney

Birth Injuries - Medication Errors - Misdiagnosis

Patients who entrust their health and welfare to healthcare professionals rightly expect their caregivers to watch out for their well-being and to meet established standards of medical care. Needless injuries to patients occur when doctors, nurses and hospitals violate safety rules. Rules that are meant to protect you. Rules that are meant to protect all of us. When someone dies or is harmed as a result of a surgical error, failure to diagnose, prescription medication error, emergency room negligence, delayed medical treatment, or other doctor negligence, proper and just compensation from the negligent medical provider is in order. Justice demands it.

If negligent doctors, nurses and hospitals are not held accountable for their careless violation of safety rules, there will be no incentive to comply with those rules that are intended to protect us and our families. Then we are all at risk. These negligent health care providers must be held accountable, so that the costs associated with their negligent violation of rules meant to protect our safety are not passed on to all of us. Doctors, nurses and hospitals have liability insurance to protect them from the consequences of their carelessness.  If they are not made to pay in full, then there is no accountability, no justice and the cost of that carelessness is passed on to all of us.

We Handle Medical Malpractice Claims

At the Toledo, Ohio, Law Offices of Gary Osborne & Associates, medical malpractice is the primary part of our personal injury law practice. We believe that lawyers have an obligation to make appropriate use of our legal system and not pursue meritless cases. We take this responsibility seriously. And to ensure that we only pursue legitimate lawsuits, each case goes through a rigorous review process. Each case of suspected medical malpractice is thoroughly evaluated by one or more highly qualified medical experts, who then certify by affidavit that there is a valid basis for filing suit against a physician or hospital. A lawsuit may not be filed without this affidavit of merit. We only pursue cases where significant injury or death has occurred.

Lead attorney Gary Osborne is honored to be included in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 editions of the publication The Best Lawyers in America. He was inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2007, an honor accorded to no more than one percent of the number of lawyers in any state. In addition, he has been named by Ohio Super Lawyers magazine as one of the top medical malpractice attorneys in the state. Finally, he has been awarded an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available for legal ability and ethical standards - "preeminent rating" - as rated by his peers, for 2006 through 2010.

Accountability for Negligence

Our attorneys understand that the vast majority of medical care is provided by competent and caring doctors and nurses. Yet doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes must be held accountable when their negligence results in injury, illness, or death to innocent patients.

A Safety Net for Patients Who Are Injured

In most cases, healthcare providers have malpractice insurance to serve as a safety net for patients who have suffered injury or loss because of errors committed by physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses, or other medical professionals.

Who is Liable?

The cost of injuries resulting from medical malpractice must be borne by the negligent healthcare provider, not by the injured victim and family. Responsibility for negligence must not be passed on to society, thereby increasing the cost of medical care for all of us.
