In Ohio, if someone dies as the result of an operation, who is at fault?In Ohio, a death that occurs during or after surgery does not automatically mean someone is at fault. Liability exists only if a surgeon, anesthesiologist, hospital, or other healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted medical standard of care and that failure caused the death. These cases require a careful review of medical records and expert analysis to determine whether the outcome was preventable or the result of negligence. If a breach of the standard of care is proven, the responsible provider or medical facility may be held liable through a medical malpractice wrongful death claim.
