The surgery goes smoothly, and the family breathes a sigh of relief. In the hours or days that follow, something changes. The patient becomes confused, struggles to find words, or develops sudden weakness on one side of the body. Prompt recognition and evaluation of new neurologic symptoms can be important to timely treatment and may affect a patient’s outcome. A delayed diagnosis or response may worsen the consequences of a stroke or other neurologic injury.  - [Robotic Mitral Valve Repair: Technology Does Not Eliminate Risk](https://www.beckerjustice.com/blog/robotic-mitral-valve-repair-technology-does-not-eliminate-risk/): Robotic mitral valve repair can offer selected patients smaller incisions, less visible scarring, and a potentially faster recovery than traditional sternotomy-based surgery. In experienced programs, robotic repair can achieve excellent outcomes.  - [Preventable Stroke and Brain Injury After Missed Aortic Dissection](https://www.beckerjustice.com/blog/preventable-stroke-and-brain-injury-after-missed-aortic-dissection/): A patient arrives at the emergency room with sudden, tearing pain radiating through the chest and into the back.

The surgical team repaired or replaced the valve, the patient was closed, and they were transferred to the cardiac ICU in stable condition. Then, something went wrong  in the hours that followed, when vigilant monitoring, timely recognition of warning signs, and rapid escalation of care were the only things standing between a successful surgical outcome and a catastrophic one. Many families who have lost loved ones after cardiac surgery are told that complications happen, that the surgery itself was a success, and that the outcome was simply an unfortunate risk. Sometimes that is true. In other cases, a closer  look reveals preventable failures in postoperative care  - [Romney Cullers Presents at 78th Annual Belli Society Seminar in Chicago](https://www.beckerjustice.com/blog/romney-cullers-presents-at-78th-annual-belli-society-seminar-in-chicago/): The Becker Law Firm is proud to share that managing partner Romney Cullers took the stage on July 24, 2026, at the 78th Annual Belli Society Seminar in Chicago, marking the second consecutive year he has been selected to present to this respected gathering of trial attorneys from across the country. ## About Us - [The Becker Law Firm](https://www.beckerjustice.com/): The Becker Law Firm is a Cleveland, Ohio, law firm focused on birth injury, medical malpractice, and serious injury litigation. - [Our Firm](https://www.beckerjustice.com/our-firm/): Overview of The Becker Law Firm’s mission, values, and approach to representing injured clients and families throughout Ohio. - [Meet Our Team](https://www.beckerjustice.com/meet-our-team/): Profiles of the attorneys and legal professionals at The Becker Law Firm. - [Case Results](https://www.beckerjustice.com/case-results/): Examples of verdicts and settlements obtained on behalf of clients. - [Client Reviews](https://www.beckerjustice.com/client-reviews/): Testimonials and feedback from former clients describing experiences with The Becker Law Firm. - [Contact Us](https://www.beckerjustice.com/contact-us/): Contact information and intake options for potential clients seeking legal help in Ohio. - [Careers](https://www.beckerjustice.com/careers/): Employment opportunities and information about working at The Becker Law Firm. - [Types of Cases](https://www.beckerjustice.com/types-of-cases/): Overview of the types of legal cases handled by The Becker Law Firm in Ohio. - [FAQ](https://www.beckerjustice.com/faq/): Answers to common questions about birth injuries. - [Resources](https://www.beckerjustice.com/resources/): Educational resources related to injuries, malpractice, and patient rights. - [Legal Recourse](https://www.beckerjustice.com/legal-recourse/): Information explaining legal options available to Ohio residents harmed by negligence or malpractice. ## Practice Areas - [Birth Injury](https://www.beckerjustice.com/birth-injury/): Legal representation for families in Ohio whose children suffered injuries during labor or delivery. - [Cephalohematoma](https://www.beckerjustice.com/birth-injury/cephalohematoma/): Information on cephalohematoma injuries and potential medical negligence during childbirth. - [Cerebral Palsy](https://www.beckerjustice.com/birth-injury/cerebral-palsy/): Legal guidance for families pursuing claims in Ohio related to cerebral palsy caused by birth trauma. - [Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)](https://www.beckerjustice.com/birth-injury/hypoxic-ischemic-encephalopathy-hie/): Information on HIE injuries resulting from oxygen deprivation during birth. - [Causes of Birth Injury](https://www.beckerjustice.com/causes-of-birth-injury/): Overview of common medical errors and conditions that can lead to birth injuries. - [Medical Malpractice](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/): Representation for Ohio patients harmed by negligent medical care or treatment. - [Failure to Diagnose](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/failure-to-diagnose/): Claims involving delayed or missed diagnoses that resulted in serious harm. - [Hospital Malpractice](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/hospital-malpractice/): Legal cases involving systemic or staff-related negligence in Ohio hospital settings. - [Medication Errors](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/medication-errors/): Lawsuits related to prescription mistakes, dosage errors, or improper medication administration. - [Surgical Errors](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/surgical-error/): Claims involving preventable surgical mistakes and post-operative complications. - [Vertebral Artery Dissection](https://www.beckerjustice.com/medical-malpractice/vertebral-artery-dissection/): Legal information regarding vertebral artery dissection linked to medical negligence. - [Serious Injuries](https://www.beckerjustice.com/serious-injuries/): Representation for Ohio residents suffering life-altering or catastrophic injuries. - [Personal Injury](https://www.beckerjustice.com/personal-injury/): Legal help for victims injured due to another party’s negligence throughout Ohio. - [Wrongful Death](https://www.beckerjustice.com/personal-injury/wrongful-death/): Legal support for families pursuing wrongful death claims in Ohio after the loss of a loved one. ## Meet Our Team - [Romney Cullers](https://www.beckerjustice.com/meet-our-team/romney-cullers/): Managing Partner who has been trying complex cases in Ohio for over 30 years, leading the firm’s team of attorneys with extensive trial experience and record results. - [David W.
