Columbus IsDangerous

Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for children and families across Columbus and Franklin County. These are not random outcomes — they are often the result of medical professionals failing to monitor, respond, or act in time during labor and delivery. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital serve the delivery and pediatric needs of families across central Ohio. When those deliveries go wrong because of medical negligence, families are often dismissed and told complications were unavoidable. TopDog fights to get every dollar your child deserves.

Warning

IMPORTANT OHIO LEGAL INFORMATION — BIRTH INJURY

Statute of Limitations for Child: For minors, the 1-year limitations period and 4-year statute of repose are tolled (paused) until the child turns 18.

Affidavit of Merit Required: Same as medical malpractice — a qualified medical expert must certify the case has merit in an affidavit filed with the complaint.

Non-Economic Damages Caps: Ohio's medical malpractice damage caps apply to birth injury cases.

This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than They're Telling You.

Hospital systems and their insurers may use Ohio's repose and affidavit requirements to protect themselves. Birth injury cases involving permanent conditions must account for a lifetime of care and your child's lost future. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
