Legal Help for the Injured

Medical Malpractice Serving Columbus, Ohio

Medical errors are one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. When doctors, nurses, hospitals, or other providers fail to meet the standard of care, patients can suffer devastating consequences.

If you or a loved one was harmed by a medical mistake in Columbus or Central Ohio, KNR can help you hold the negligent provider accountable.

We handle the legal fight so you can focus on healing.

At KNR, we ask, ‘what can we do?’ so you move on with more.

Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

You may have a claim if a healthcare provider:

  • Misdiagnosed or delayed your diagnosis
  • Prescribed the wrong medication or dosage
  • Made a surgical or anesthesia mistake
  • Failed to monitor you properly
  • Caused a birth injury
  • Ignored symptoms or test results
  • Failed to follow accepted medical standards

Types of Medical Malpractice We Handle

If a doctor, nurse, hospital, or medical provider in Columbus failed to follow the accepted standard of care and you were hurt as a result, you may have a malpractice claim. The Columbus medical malpractice attorneys at KNR represent patients and families in serious and life-changing negligence cases, including:

Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis

When a physician misses or delays diagnosing a serious condition, treatment may come too late. Cancer, stroke, infections, and internal injuries are frequently overlooked or mistaken for less serious issues. If a wrong diagnosis by a physician caused your condition to worsen, our Columbus malpractice lawyers can investigate and fight for compensation.

Medication & Pharmacy Errors

The wrong drug or dosage can lead to dangerous reactions, organ damage, or even death. Medication mistakes by doctors or pharmacists — including prescription mix-ups and failure to check interactions — are preventable and often grounds for a medical negligence claim.

Surgical & Anesthesia Mistakes

Surgery should improve your health — not leave you with new injuries. Errors such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, infections from unsterile tools, or anesthesia mistakes can have lifelong consequences. Our surgical error lawyers help Columbus patients hold hospitals and surgeons accountable.

Pregnancy & Birth Injuries

Mistakes during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can permanently affect both mother and child. Failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-sections, or improper medication can lead to brain injuries, nerve damage, or developmental disabilities. If your family was harmed during childbirth, our Columbus birth injury attorneys are here to help you seek answers and financial support for your child’s future.

Not sure if your situation qualifies? Call KNR at (614) 487-8669 for a free consultation. We’ll review what happened and explain your legal options at no cost.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Medical Negligence in Columbus?

When you seek medical care, you trust providers to follow accepted safety standards. When they cut corners, ignore symptoms, or make preventable mistakes, patients can suffer serious — sometimes permanent — harm.

If a healthcare provider in Columbus failed to meet the standard of care and you were injured as a result, you may have the right to file a medical malpractice claim. KNR’s Columbus medical negligence lawyers investigate every party involved to make sure those responsible are held fully accountable.

Medical malpractice cases may involve:

Fight for Everything You’re Owed

Medical Malpractice Claims & Compensation

If a doctor’s mistake left you facing additional surgeries, mounting medical bills, or permanent injuries, you shouldn’t have to pay the price for someone else’s negligence. Ohio law allows victims of medical malpractice to file a claim or lawsuit to recover financial compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.

But these cases are complex — and hospitals and insurers fight hard to avoid paying.

To win a medical malpractice claim, you must prove:

  • A provider failed to meet the accepted medical standard of care
  • That failure directly caused your injury
  • You suffered measurable damages as a result

This often requires medical experts, detailed record reviews, and aggressive legal action. Trying to handle a malpractice case on your own can put your recovery at risk.

That’s where KNR comes in.

Our Columbus medical malpractice lawyers handle every step of your case — investigating what went wrong, consulting medical experts, calculating your full damages, negotiating with insurance companies, and going to trial if necessary — so you can focus on healing.

We fight to recover the maximum compensation you deserve.

At KNR, we ask, ‘what can we do?’ so you move on with more.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Columbus Medical Malpractice Claim?

A serious medical mistake can impact every part of your life — physically, emotionally, and financially. If a negligent doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider caused your injuries, Ohio law allows you to pursue compensation for both your current losses and the long-term effects on your future.

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to recover:

  • Medical expenses (hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, future care)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability
  • Permanent disability or physical limitations
  • Disfigurement or scarring
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Loss of consortium and impact on family relationships
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Our goal is simple: recover every dollar you’re owed — not just what the insurance company offers.

How Long Do You Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim in Ohio?

Ohio has strict deadlines for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. In most cases, you have only one year to take legal action — or you may permanently lose your right to compensation.

Some exceptions apply for children or injuries discovered later, but waiting can seriously hurt your case. The sooner you speak with a Columbus medical malpractice lawyer, the better your chances of preserving evidence and protecting your claim.

Can You File a Medical Malpractice Claim if You Signed a Waiver?

In most cases, yes you can still pursue a malpractice claim or file a lawsuit for negligence if you signed a waiver.

Why Hire a Columbus Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex injury claims in Ohio. You must gather detailed medical records, work with qualified experts, and file an Affidavit of Merit — all while hospitals and insurance companies aggressively defend themselves.

KNR handles everything for you, including investigations, expert testimony, negotiations, and trial preparation. Acting quickly gives your legal team more time to build the strongest possible case and pursue maximum compensation.
