You go to the doctor to help you recover from a serious injury or illness, but what happens when negligent medical providers do more harm than good? Medical mistakes have tragic and often fatal consequences in New Jersey.
In such cases, you may have a claim for medical malpractice against the treating hospital, doctor, or corporate medical group. For over 25 years, the experienced injury lawyers at Ginsberg & O’Connor have been advocating for the rights of neglected patients.
Negligence Cases Handled by Our Experienced Trial Attorneys
Medical negligence is a complex type of personal injury claim alleging that a treating medical provider or facility fell below the professional standard of care in your case. At Ginsberg & O’Connor, our healthcare negligence team handles a wide range of cases, including the following:
- Birth injuries
- Labor and delivery complications
- Diagnostic errors
- Missed or wrong diagnosis cases
- Hospital-acquired illnesses and post-surgical infections
- Surgical and anesthesia mistakes
- Prescription drug errors
- Defective and dangerous medical implants
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
Proving negligence generally requires detailed expert testimony from physicians and dedicated legal advocacy from our experienced medical malpractice lawyers. Do not take on these complex claims alone. If you suspect a doctor, nurse, surgical center, or hospital made a critical mistake resulting in a new or worsening condition, then it’s time to discuss your claim.
Recovering Financial Compensation from Negligent Healthcare Providers
Unlike general negligence claims, which we may file in combination with malpractice litigation, you can only claim malpractice damages from licensed healthcare providers and facilities. This generally means doctors, registered nurses, hospitals, private physician practices, and surgical centers. Our lawyers can also help you demand damages from healthcare conglomerates, such as Virtua Health and Jefferson Health System.
Most viable cases settle with the liable malpractice insurer, but do not fall for lowball insurance offers. Always speak with our lawyers about the maximum value of your case before signing any paperwork, as you cannot go back and claim additional damages once your case settles. In appropriate cases, we may demand the full value of your past and future medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Unlike many states, New Jersey does not limit damages in malpractice cases.
