The firm has extensive experience in medical malpractice and patients’ rights cases and we consider this to be one of the most important areas of our practice. Our firm’s successes in medical malpractice / patient right cases include very substantial jury awards and settlements in cases involving childbirth, obstetric and surgical errors, nursing home abuse, failure to diagnose cancer (a $2 million verdict due to a failure to diagnose inner ear cancer).
Other successfully resolved medical malpractice cases include failure to diagnose a bleeding aneurysm that resulted in a massive stroke, failure to diagnose breast cancer and absence of informed consent or FDA approval prior to performing experimental eye surgery, and most recently gall bladder surgery that resulted in permanent intestinal complications.
Currently, the firm is handling major medical malpractice cases in Philadelphia and New Jersey involving:
- Neurology
- Orthopedic surgery
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Obstetrics
|
- Gynecology surgery
- Failure to identify a tumor on the optic nerve
- Prescription of a drug for an off label use
- Colonoscopy
|
A substantial number of our medical malpractice cases are sent to us by other Philadelphia attorneys who concentrate their practice in other areas and are aware of our experience with these types of claims. Claims arising from medical malpractice or a medical provider’s mistakes in treatment of patients, diagnosis of illness, or surgical performance often involve serious injuries. When mistakes are made by doctors, nurses, or hospital personnel, the claims by nature are complicated and proof of liability is complex. Litigation of these claims requires the knowledge and experience of who are intimately familiar with New Jersey and Pennsylvania medical malpractice laws and who concentrate their practice in these areas.
The firm treats each and every medical malpractice lawsuit as a new challenge and brings a comprehensive range of expertise to the table
In order to successfully maintain a claim for medical malpractice, both Pennsylvania and New Jersey law requires expert testimony from a physician, surgeon or medical professional to establish a doctor’s failure to follow the appropriate standard of care. Prior to initiating any malpractice action, we verify that the case can be supported by a board certified physician. As a result, prosecution of these cases is expensive. However, we are willing to undertake medical malpractice claims on a contingent fee basis, with all costs advanced by us.
