I have a lot of friends and family that have had car injury claims, and they told me about a lot of different lawyers, but many of them were encouraging me to hire Larry Ramunno, I called his office and was impressed he talked to me and was so down to earth and nice. I signed up, and he and his staff and paralegals and investigator were terrific, they were so nice to me, when money was tight they helped me get loans from a loan company, and after I had a bunch of visits with a chiropractor, and some specialists, like a neurologist , I was still in pain, but larry ramunno got me way mor e than I expected, he got me more than I was expecting and he was aggressive with the stupid insurance company, there first offer was good, but larry said, hold on, its not high enough, let s sue and it'll go up, we filed suit, he did all the work on the suit, and a few months later, the offer was up even higher, I never had to go to trial or anything like that. larry is great , he's the best lawyer in town in my opinion. and his staff is terrific.

I was in a car accident, at first I wasn't gonna try to make a claim. Then I found larry, he made sure the car insurance paid all my medical bills and after I went to some doctors and therapy for about nine months, larry got me way way more money than what people was telling me my case was worth. If im in another accident im calling larry ramunno right away.

After having an auto accident driving home with my family after a business meeting, I had no idea how much time and medical intervention would be required. I found quickly I needed support from the medical bills and guidance of what to do after getting hurt. Mr. Lengkeek and his assistant Kerry were an outstanding team that treated me with respect and stood by me, helping and guiding me the entire duration. Tim and Kerry gained my respect very quickly. They were fast and proactive always working on getting the bills paid and assisting me when I needed direction. Tim's unique knowledge base provided me with information that was required from understanding surgeries to dealing with insurance companies and the like. Kerry provided me with weekly if not daily interactions to keep me in the loop. This made not only me feel comfortable but also my family. They were/are truly my partner helping me step by step. The settlement outcome was much more then anticipated and was simply due to the dedication and hard working team of Mr. Lengkeek. I am completely satisfied with the outcome and I would highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants full commitment and to get the job done with a personal touch. A truly pleasant experience considering the medical inventions I had to undertake. I was not just a customer, I was a VIP.

I met Tim Lenkgkeek at the end of 2009. I had been in a car accident on 1-22-09. My PIP had run out and I had to begin to use my personal health insurance just after being at Magee Brain Rehab for 12 days. The auto insurance companies were not backing down but a friend sent me a video of me 3 months before the accident. Tim sent it to the person who hit me insurance company and to my insurance company and had our deserved compensation in 30 days. He is always on top of the ball.

I hired Ms. Wolf after visiting a few lawyers in Wilmington. What made the difference and gained my trust was her vast knowledge of the law and her honesty about the possible outcomes of my worker's compensation claim. Ms. Wolf first referred me to the best specialist for my type of injury in Wilmington, then she went above and beyond her duty to make sure I was well taken care of financially throughout the legal process and finally she made sure that my well-being and permanent injury were well reflected in settlement.
If you want a lawyer with expansive knowledge of worker's compensation law, that will not seek a quick settlement, and is always 2 steps ahead of opposing counsel and insurance companies then Ms. Wolf is what you are looking for.

Although Josh was unable to accept my case, he was extremely professional, genuine, and very easy to talk with. He asked questions, gave his expert opinion and advice. He also gave additional insight for what I can do if certain scenarios happen, and gave me the name of another attorney who could assist me. He even offered his time in the future should the need arise. In the 15 minutes I spoke with him, I couldn't have felt more at ease and comfortable and was so upset he couldn't represent me. Although I could not retain his services, he put my name in his system to avoid possible conflict of interest in the event the opposing party contacts him for representation in tge future. I am beyond grateful for Josh, as as well as his intake representative John, who also provided exceptional service.

Exceptional Legal Support During a Difficult Time:
My wife and I had the privilege of working with Jeffrey Gentilotti's office after a serious car accident in May 2022. She was rear-ended, resulting in significant back and neck injuries that required nearly 18 months of physical therapy. Initially, the insurance company's settlement offer was insulting and would hardly cover the medical expenses.
Upon the recommendation of a family member, we reached out to Jeffrey Gentilotti's office, and from that moment on, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. In less than two years, we received a settlement that we are genuinely happy with!
Our overall experience was remarkably easy, and we never felt any pressure to make decisions we weren't comfortable with. The staff at Jeffrey Gentilotti's office was not only helpful but also remarkably attentive to our needs. They consistently answered our questions to the best of their ability and promptly referred us to a lawyer for any inquiries beyond their scope.
Jeffrey was instrumental when it came time to make decisions regarding how to pay off any medical bills. His expertise and guidance were invaluable. When the settlement came in, he acted swiftly to get us the money. Moreover, he advised us to seek out a second claim due to the other driver's underinsured policy, ultimately resulting in coverage for the remaining medical bills. As a result, we received more in both settlements than we originally thought.
Jeffrey Gentilotti's knowledge and experience in the claims field are the best I have experienced, and I would highly recommend him to represent my family and friends.

I was randomly assigned to Peter Janzcyk through another lawyer's office. I was very lucky! Over two years he has guided me to appropriate medical resources to treat my injury. He has reached out to check my progress. He has answered his phone when I call! Following his advice I recently received a settlement that was very generous and as important have decreased my pain due to injury. My elderly neighbor was the victim in three car accident and I recommended Peter Janzcyk to her. I wouldn't trust anyone else to help her.

I have had Mr. Aber’s representation on two separate issues. Without him, I would not have had the positive outcomes I did.

He takes time to talk with you and has your best interest at heart. He is affordable and works with you. I highly recommend him for anyone needing legal representation.

Gary accepted my case when no others would. He reviewed all information fully, found pertinent information and worked hard for me even when it wasn't clearly evident that we'd end with a positive outcome. He did not dissuade me or try to steer me in any specific direction. He gave me all information necessary and explained things to me when asked. He guided without giving any false hopes. He worked around my schedules as much as possible. He ultimately got me some justification. He is personable. Hopefully I won't need to but I would definitely hire him again if necessary.

He wasn't aware of all of the ramifications of a plea deal. I realize he can't predict the future but he should have seen that a neighboring state - in which he's licensed - would have action against me as a result of the plea. Also, the result of the plea bargain has been very damaging from a career standpoint. In retrospect I would have been much better off not taking the deal. He seemed to lose interest in fighting on my behalf despite the weak case the opposition had.

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.
