For over thirty years, Pat Adkinson has represented medical providers in medical malpractice cases at the request of their insurance companies. Now he is putting the experience and legal know-how he gained as a defense attorney to work for victims of medical malpractice.
His unique and in-depth background representing “the other side” enables him to stay one step ahead of the defense attorneys in your case. As a former highly successful defense attorney, he knows how they think, and that knowledge will help you recover the justice you deserve.
When a medical or health care professional, through an act or failure to act, deviates from professional standards of care and thereby causes injury to a patient, a legal claim for medical malpractice arises.

Pat was raised in Dayton, Ohio, and received his undergraduate degree from Ohio Wesleyan University. He is also a graduate of the University of Toledo Law School, where he served as Associate Editor of the Law Review.
