We Handle Stow-Area Medical Malpractice and Negligence
Attorneys Lawrence Scanlon and James Galla represent patients and families harmed by medical malpractice in Stow, Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, and Tallmadge throughout Summit County. When doctors, hospitals, or healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care, the consequences can be severe, permanent, or fatal.
We handle medical malpractice claims involving hospitals, physicians, surgeons, nurses, clinics, urgent care facilities, and long-term care providers, helping injured patients pursue accountability and compensation for avoidable medical errors.
Each Case Is Different
Medical malpractice cases are highly fact-specific. Liability depends on whether the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care and whether that failure directly caused harm. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla conduct detailed reviews of medical records, treatment timelines, diagnostic testing, and provider decisions to determine whether malpractice occurred.
These cases often require expert medical testimony. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla work with qualified medical specialists and healthcare experts to establish negligence and fully evaluate damages, including additional medical treatment, long-term care needs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Conflicting Explanations – If healthcare providers provide inconsistent or unclear explanations about what went wrong, an attorney can help investigate.
