How We Help
Malpractice cases are complex and deadlines are strict. From the first call, we:
- Gather your complete records: from every doctor, hospital, pharmacy and lab
- Have medical experts review your care: New Jersey requires expert support before a case can move forward
- Identify everyone responsible: doctors, nurses, hospitals and practice groups
- Meet every deadline: including the affidavit of merit
- Document your losses: corrective treatment, future care, lost income and how your life has changed
- Negotiate, or go to trial: with the providers’ insurers, and to court when they won’t take responsibility
Types of Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nurses and hospitals must meet an accepted standard of care. Malpractice cases often involve:
-
Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis
Wrong tests, mishandled samples, or results misread or ignored
-
Birth injuries
Misread ultrasounds, a needed C-section not done, or misuse of forceps or vacuum
-
Surgical errors
Surgery on the wrong body part, or surgery that wasn’t needed
-
Chart and treatment mix-ups
Records confused between patients, leading to the wrong treatment
-
Premature discharge
Being sent home before it was safe
-
Hospital infections
Infections that weren’t prevented, caught or treated properly
What You Can Recover

-
Medical bills
Corrective treatment and the future care you’ll need
-
Lost income
Time missed from work and lost earning ability
-
Pain and suffering
The physical and emotional harm the error caused

Medical Malpractice FAQ
How do I know if I have a malpractice case?
A bad outcome alone isn’t malpractice. You generally need to show that a provider’s care fell below the accepted standard and that this caused you harm. We have medical experts review your records and tell you honestly where you stand.
Can I hold the hospital responsible?
Often, yes, for mistakes by its employees, such as nurses and staff, or for its own failures. Some doctors are independent contractors rather than hospital employees, so we identify every responsible party.
How much does it cost to hire you?
If we don’t win, you don’t pay a fee.
What if I can’t come to your office?
We’ll come to you. Our attorneys visit clients at home or in the hospital, and you can call us any time, day or night.
