Congratulations to our 2024 scholarship winner, Joyance Liao Mendoza.
Medical Malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States. As a medical malpractice law firm, Tittle & Perlmuter wants to raise awareness of this growing issue in healthcare. In Ohio alone, over 210 claims for medical malpractice were filed and won by the injured party. Overall, approximately 30% of claims came as a result of death, and 15% were filed as a result of quadriplegic damage, brain injury, or lifelong care.
Allen Tittle’s Medical Malpractice Awareness Scholarship aims to provide support for those affected by medical malpractice and to raise awareness of this important issue.
