Defining Malpractice
Professionals across all industries have an obligation to uphold an overarching standard of care when working with clients. “Malpractice,” as a term, describes instances wherein a professional either neglects to uphold that standard, makes a mistake that compromises their ability to uphold that standard, or deliberately refuses to meet that standard.
Unfortunately, instances of malpractice tend to see clients across all industries suffer losses, though some are more serious than others. Medical malpractice and legal malpractice can both cost clients hundreds of thousands of dollars and often leave them with serious injuries or undue legal consequences.
How do you prove malpractice in the wake of harm, though? Our team wants clients to have the means to highlight:
- The Original Standard of Care: We can help clients break down what standards professionals in specific industries must meet and how, in turn, certain professionals failed to clear those expectations.
- Harm Resulting From a Standard of Care Violation: We also help clients elaborate on how their injuries, financial losses, and reduced quality of life directly tie back to a professional’s failure to uphold their industry’s standard of care.

What Damages to Include in Your Request for Support
When you pursue a personal injury claim against the party responsible for your malpractice injuries, you have the right to include the value of all of the economic and non-economic losses you sustained as a result of their behavior. These expenses may include the following:
- Emergency medical expenses
- Long-term medical care, as applicable
- Physical therapy, pain management aids, and mobility aids, as applicable
- Lost earnings, wages, earning capacity, and benefits
- Property damage, if applicable
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
Our team will independently account for the costs associated with your accident. We will then combine those costs to estimate the total value of your case.
Each malpractice case is highly unique, meaning that we won’t refer to an “average” settlement value. You are an individual, and your case is unique, so you can expect us to treat you as such.

How to Help Your Dayton Malpractice Lawyer Make a Stronger Case
As you physically recover from instances of malpractice, you can help your attorney build a stronger case against the parties responsible for your injuries.
For example, we encourage you to keep comprehensive records of your medical care. We can use that paperwork to emphasize that you needed medical interventions to treat the symptoms and conditions you sustained due to someone else’s negligence. We can also refer to your pay stubs to indicate that you lost wages due to your injuries if you make them available to us.
Most importantly, we encourage you to avoid direct communication with insurance companies as well as the parties responsible for your losses.
If these parties reach out to you, tell them that you’ll only speak to them with an attorney present. Likewise, we encourage you to minimize conversations about your circumstances on social media.
