- Medical MalpracticeThese four simple words from the foundation of the Hippocratic Oath. But sometimes harm does occur. Medical malpractice, also referred to as medical negligence, arises when the care given by a medical professional (doctor, nurse or technician) or medical facility (hospital, psychiatrist hospital, healthcare facility) falls below the accepted standard for the medical community. When death or injuries occur as a result of medical error, a medical malpractice law suit is warranted.

- Dog BitesThat’s how often a dog bite occurs in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And every day, over one thousand victims require emergency medical care as a result of those attacks. When it comes to dog bites, Ohio is a statutory strict liability state. This means that the owner, harborer or keeper of a dog is responsible for the injuries that dog causes, whether or not they knew in advance that the dog was dangerous. As long as the victim can prove they were not trespassing, teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog, they could very likely recover compensation if they filed a claim. If you or a loved one have been a victim of a dog attack, you have the right to file a claim. Contact the dog bite attorneys at the Eshelman Legal Group for a FREE consultation.
