Medical and Professional Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex and challenging matters. The physical and emotional damages suffered are, often times, catastrophic. Cases can involve a treating doctor, a member of the medical and nursing staff at a hospital, or other healthcare provider. It can be the result of improper treatment as well as the failure to properly diagnosis or treat an injury or disease. Further, our Medical Malpractice department includes an attorney who is also an experienced, board certified medical doctor whose vast knowledge and experience provide invaluable insight. In addition, we employ a full-time registered nurse paralegal. If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact Lomurro Law and one of our experienced professional malpractice attorneys will meet with you, at no cost, to review your case. Since there are strict time limits on filing malpractice suits, do not delay in seeking expert legal advice. Professional malpractice cases are some of the most complex and challenging cases that an attorney will handle. Many times the clients are particularly distressed because the potential defendant is a qualified professional in whom they had placed their trust. The damages suffered by our clients in professional negligence cases are, often times, life altering. The negligent parties will defend aggressively by hiring competent and experienced law firms to represent them, and so should you. We also have a history of taking cases to trial if the defendant refuses to admit fault or offers inadequate compensation as compared to our client's injuries. Malpractice can be committed by many different types of professionals. Most people think of doctors or nurses when they hear about a malpractice case. However, our attorneys have also prosecuted malpractice actions against other negligent professionals such as lawyers, accountants and engineers. These cases result in devastating and serious injuries. Our dedicated and trial tested lawyers will work to secure justice for you. The professional malpractice case law and statutes in New Jersey are numerous and complicated. Hiring a law firm that has handled these cases from the initial office conference through a jury verdict is critical to your success. Criminal Law
