I was very apprehensive to contact an attorney regarding an injury claim; however, it became apparent to me that after a lengthy recovery period, I would need to have legal representation. Mr. Weichler made the process easy to understand, seamless in preparation, and I felt very well represented.

I hired Mr. Solarz to handle a medical malpractice suit involving my father. The case evolved into a wrongful death suit. Jordan and his support team were extremely professional and thoughtful in how the case progressed and offered the kind of advice that we really needed. I could not be more pleased to have been represented by Jordan and the firm of Riddick Moss.

I contacted Mr. Solarz with a potential lawsuit and his help was invaluable. While my issue was not something that he generally handles, he pointed me in the right direction to find someone that could. Mr. Solarz didn’t rush me off the phone like the dozen other attorneys that I contacted first. He was patient and attentive with my issue. While he didn’t handle my case personally he assisted me in getting the information that I needed to pursue my claim. Very professional and pleasant interaction with the otherwise impossible-to-navigate legal field.

Articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable, formidable. Great lawyer. She got our case dismissed as it should have been immediately, where as another lawyer and the district attorney dragged it out for almost a year.

Mr. Mayro, Worked very hard for me all though my case, he even helped me with my property damage, not many if any, other attorneys will do that. He kept me very informed and up to date on my case. Their was not a month that went by that we did not speak. He also recommended the best treatment. I have worked with large firms in the past who rarely ever spoke to me and never gave me answers to most questions. Mr. Mayro, explained everything in detail on a scale of 1-100 I would have to give him 150 because he went above and beyond his requirements and was very involved.

I can not say enough good things about Andrew Neuwirth. I had never hired a lawyer before and I am thankful that when I needed one I was fortunate enough to find Andrew. He is honest, committed, accessible, knowledgable and goes the extra mile. I was in a car accident and I don't believe that anyone else would have been as committed to my case as Andrew was. I want to sincerely thank him for all his hard work. If you need a lawyer, look no further!

My lawyer, Chris, was the lead attorney on a class action civil rights lawsuit my then partner and I were a part of. She was extremely thorough, attentive and on top of every detail, always filling us in on what was happening with our case. She worked extremely hard on our behalf and kept active and on top of things through a very long and grueling legal fight. I would recommend her without hesitation!!

Very skilled lawyers who not only aggressively pursued our case but helped us understand and manage an overwhelming amount of medical bills and insurance claims. They kept us informed at every step of the way. They were always available to answer our questions and spend the time necessary to make sure we understood our options. We could not have asked for better representation from our lawyers. We felt they genuinely care about us, not only our legal well-being, but our financial and medical well-being. We would give them the very highest recommendation.

I met Wayne under horrible conditions. A trip to Puerto Rico ended in an automobile accident. Once I returned to the states, I was referred to Wayne for my case. He makes a very scary and trying time manageable. He explains his process and his plans, and walks you through step by step. The support staff is great as well. Everyone knows you by name and never forgets you, even 20 years later. Unfortunately I've had to use Wayne's services several times, but even for issues that aren't personal injury, I know I can always count on Wayne!

I was in Philadelphia at least a year ago and I got into an accident. I needed a personal injury lawyer. I checked the yellow pages and asked my friends and family. They recommended Wayne Goldenberg. I was lucky he was able to take my case and he got my case settled within a short-time in my favor.
Thanks,

I have worked with Paul and his partners, Jeff Laffey and Brian Kent several times on complex personal injury cases. Paul is bright, hardworking and personable. His knowledge of the ins and outs of construction litigation is second to none. I am aware that he carried the laboring oar in the multi million dollar Tropicana garage collapse case a few years ago. I can recommend him and his firm, Laffey, Bucci and Kent, without reservation.

I was in a very tramatic auto accident where I sustained injuries that required surgery. On top of bodily injury my car was totaled and, I developed a fear of driving and riding in a motor vehicle. It took months to recover and return to work. I contacted Peter Biscontini to handle my case. He immediately got to work investigating the accident. He contacted me whenever he had questions or needed documentation to assist in the case. He came and, visited me at my home and brought paperwork I needed to review and sign.
In spite of the nature of our meeting; overall my experience with Peter was very pleasant. He did what needed to be done to make sure I was awarded enough to cover not only medical expenses, cost of new vehicle but, also pain and suffering. If ever I needed or someone I know would need services related to this type of case I would highly recommend Mr. Peter Justin Biscontini and, be confident that they also would be pleased with the service he will provide.

Carrie came into our life at a time when we did not know what to do. She represented our family in a suit against a giant pharmaceutical company. It is through her persistence that we were able to get needed services and medications and keep my husband at home and comfortable until his death. She was caring and understanding during the entire time. Without her help, the last few years of my husband's life would have been unbearable for our entire family.

This is not a typical personal injury law firm. Their videos do not resemble that of a Used Car Dealership. I first met Stephen over two years ago and his knowledge in Personal injury Law which he has shared with me is incredible. What is truly incredible is his willingness to share that information with anyone who calls. He is going to tell you the facts and save you from wasting your time. He has years of experience and knows a pie in the sky slip and fall case when he hears one. He knows how to demystify the laws and tell his clients when it is or is not a good time to represent themselves in the court of law. The man is very reasonable.

Arianne and Matt helped me through a very hard time in my life, they were professional, courteous, warm, and passionate about helping people. They gave me hope about a resolution to the conflict in my life. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help like I did and I fully intend to.

Got connected through a prepaid legal service to do a will. I put this off until the very end of the year when the benefit was about to run out, but Atty. Idell assured me he'd see it through to completion. Despite my repeated mistakes in filling out the form, we were able to get it finished while I was still covered. Kept us informed throughout the process and spoke with both my wife and I on multiple occasions to make sure we understood all scenarios. Very satisfied and a pleasant experience overall.

My son had 2 felony and 1 misdemeanor charge. He was facing serious time in jail. With Attorney Fanelli's help the felonies were dropped before he ever had to enter a courtroom. My son will now have a second chance at getting his life on track with no felonies hanging over him. Without Attorney Fanelli his future would be bleak. I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend him for all of your needs.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
