What Is Medical Malpractice?
/
Medical malpractice is negligence, incompetence, or willful harm by a medical professional or healthcare organization such as a hospital. These incidents of medical errors and other types of malpractice can have major health and financial implications for the victims and their families. Medical malpractice lawyers fight to get justice and compensation for victims of medical mistakes by proving that malpractice occurred.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Our medical malpractice lawyers handle a wide range of medical malpractice cases. Some of the most common medical malpractice claims involve:
Misdiagnoses can lead to a patient undergoing unnecessary treatment. Failure to diagnose can prevent a patient from receiving timely treatment, resulting in significant losses.
Permanent injury or death can result from pharmaceutical errors, such as prescribing the wrong medication or the wrong dosage, and incorrect dispensing.
Birth injuries result in cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brain injury, and more, causing the baby to suffer a lifelong disability and require ongoing medical care.
Medical professionals are required by law to obtain informed consent. This includes informing the patient of risks, benefits, and ensuring the patient has the legal capacity to give proper consent.
Surgical errors include performing the wrong surgery, leaving objects in the body, anesthesia errors, or operating on the wrong part of the body. These medical mistakes can result in bodily harm or death.
How Can an Attorney Help
With My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Our medical malpractice attorneys can help you make the strongest case for compensation when misinformed consent, misdiagnosis, or other medical mistakes by a healthcare provider lead to bodily harm or wrongful death. This requires an intimate knowledge of the standards that medical professionals must meet, and relationships with trusted medical experts. Our firm has both.

Investigating Causes of Medical Malpractice
A thorough investigation of the circumstances leading up to an injury is the first step in the legal process. First, your attorney will need you to provide all documentation you have regarding the incident. They will also listen as you explain what occurred. Once we have a clear understanding of the facts and legal liability, we can advise you on the best plan of action.
If you aren't sure if you should pursue a medical malpractice claim, our Hoboken attorneys provide free consultations to review your case and help you decide if you should move forward. You have absolutely nothing to lose by speaking with our lawyers.
Medical Malpractice Can Change Your Life
Potential Damages
When determining what kind of compensation is appropriate, we will assess your losses. Some considerations are:
- Lost wages, both current and long-term
- Compromised ability to make a living
- Pain and suffering (physical, mental, and emotional)
- Costs of ongoing medical care
- Punitive damages for willful negligence
Regardless of the circumstances, we can strategically manage your case so that you are compensated fairly. We know that personal injuries are difficult enough without the stress of dealing with insurance companies and legal procedures. We will do everything we can to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Working with Insurance Companies
If you believe you or a loved one were the victim of medical malpractice, do not speak with an insurance adjuster until you have consulted with one of our medical malpractice lawyers. Once you have retained one of our attorneys, all communication should be deferred to your lawyer.
Medical practitioners and medical establishments are required by law to carry liability insurance. Insurance companies are only focused on paying out as little as possible. Don't let a corporation's bottom line take priority over the justice your family needs and deserves. Once our attorneys take your case, they will aggressively pursue the settlement or jury award you and your loved one will need in order to move on with your lives. Your attorney will do the hard work for you so you can focus on healing.
