Ohio Colonoscopy Injury Attorney
Columbus Perforated Bowels Lawyer
Doctors can be held financially liable for injuries that result from improperly or negligently performed colonoscopies. In most cases, patients are sedated or put under an anesthetic. While vital signs are monitored, internal injuries that result in bleeding or a perforated bowel can still occur. At the personal injury law firm of Donahey Law Firm, our medical malpractice lawyers work closely with medical experts in evaluating the actions and decisions of doctors and nurses in cases involving colonoscopy injuries. We identify departures from standard treatment protocols in reviewing a patient's medical history, how he or she was prepared before the procedure, the actions of nurses and attending staff, and what happened post-procedure.
If you've been injured or suffered health complications due to a colonoscopy, contact the Ohio colonoscopy injury attorneys at the Donahey Law Firm today to schedule a free consultation and discuss your case.

Determining the Cost of Your Injuries
In order to ensure our clients recover damages proportional to the financial impact of their injuries, our attorneys consult medical economists and life care planners. We consider costs associated with hospitalization, surgery, prescription drugs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We provide cost-data analyses based on known costs associated with different medical procedures and services as maintained by HMOs and the insurance industry. In terms of lost wages, we look at how much vacation time our client uses, whether he or she has to go on FMLA, and whether their injuries lead to chronic conditions that interfere with their ability to maintain steady work.
