Marc Pera

Marc Pera is an Ohio and Kentucky trial lawyer representing people who have suffered catastrophic injuries or lost loved ones because of negligence. He handles complex personal injury and medical malpractice matters involving medical negligence, ordinary negligence, and trucking negligence.

This background supports detailed preparation, practical judgment, and effective courtroom advocacy in serious injury cases.

Marc has represented injured clients and families in catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters for more than two decades. His work includes claims arising from medical negligence, ordinary negligence, and trucking negligence. He also teaches other lawyers through programs for trial lawyers and bar associations, addressing subjects such as medical malpractice, depositions, opening statements, closing arguments, damages, and trial tactics. His experience combines litigation practice with continuing legal education leadership.
