Ohio's Premier Medical Malpractice & Injury Attorneys

The shape of America is changing. It used to be if you were injured by someone in an auto accident or if you were a victim of medical malpractice, their insurance company was more likely to fairly evaluate your claim for injuries, and lost wages and life went on.  As insurance companies went from the righters of the wrong to greedy for profit companies that placed a priority on profits over people, that type of help to injury victims and their family’s mentality became a profit driven, adversarial and combative corporate culture. 
 
In order to level the playing field, Elk & Elk has tried to create a law firm that gives our clients the edge over large insurance companies and big business. In order to do this we had to become more than just a law firm. We have tirelessly pursued some of the leading attorneys in the country and added them to our staff. We hire only the best paralegals and support staff to assist our attorneys in resolving your case. We know from first hand experience that our staff receives far more rigorous training and, in most cases, is far more experienced than the average legal staff. We have hired doctors and nurses to review medical records in our medical malpractice cases in order to identify key issues that may have been ignored by doctors and hospitals. We have accident re-constructionists on staff to investigate, analyze and even recreate auto, truck and motorcycle accidents. We have economists and accountants to assist us in determining the true extent of our client’s financial loss caused by medical malpractice, accident or other causes of injury. Our firm seeks out and hires the leading experts in the world to prove your case. At Elk & Elk, we are more than just a law firm. We aggressively represent injury victims and their families. Our results speak for themselves.

We encourage you to explore our site. The site is constantly updated to keep you well informed.

• Playing "Kick the FDA" — Risk-free to Players but Hazardous to Public Health - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating $1 trillion worth of consumer products, or 25% of the U.S. consumer economy — the food we eat, the cosmetics we use, the medical devices implanted in our bodies or used in our care, and the drugs we take. It is of grave concern when an agency with such pervasive effects on our lives loses the public's confidence.
