You trust your doctor. When you go in for treatment or a procedure, you assume they know what they’re doing. But even doctors make mistakes. When they do, they can be detrimental to their patients. Medical malpractice is one of the leading causes of death in America. Treatment that constitutes doctor negligence requires a lawyer to sort out. That’s where Tittle & Perlmuter comes in.

Damages a Medical Malpractice Attorney Seeks
Similar to other personal injury cases, you are able to recover different types of damages in a doctor’s negligence claim. Your attorney should seek to recover:
- Immediate and Current Medical Expenses
- Future Medical Expenses Related to the Injury
- Pain and Suffering
- Missed or Lost Wages
- Compensation for Diminished Ability to Earn
To determine the specific damages you are able to claim in your medical malpractice case, you’ll have to speak with a local lawyer from Tittle & Perlmuter regarding the specifics of your case.
How Much is My Elyria Malpractice Case Worth?
Figuring out the value of a case without all of the facts is impossible. However, your case’s value will be determined by the severity of the injuries you face. Several factors will contribute to the worth of the claim. For example, if your injury will limit your ability to work your normal job or the injury has stopped you from participating in your hobbies, it adds to the value of the case.
The only way to correctly evaluate how much you should expect in a settlement is to discuss the facts of your doctor negligence case with an Elyria lawyer. At Tittle & Perlmuter, we offer free consultations and we are happy to listen to your story.
