Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Lawyers

As the son of a prominent Bergenfield physician, no one has more respect from members of the medical profession than partner Sam Davis. People expect their doctors and physicians to follow generally accepted medical protocols, and doctors, nurses, and other clinicians usually do exactly that. When a doctor, hospital, or nurse makes a mistake resulting in death or injury by failing to adhere to the usual standard of care, the injured person and his or her family need not feel helpless and at the mercy of the medical system. They frequently do not know where to turn to find out about their rights and options when their lives are affected by medical malpractice.

Large enough to fight for you, small enough to give you personal attention

At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our lawyers help people recover money damages for injuries caused by negligence and misconduct. In practice for more than 25 years, we are known for handling challenging medical malpractice and other complex personal injury matters. If you believe you have been hurt, or a family member has been killed, because of medical malpractice, contact our New Jersey or New York office to schedule a free initial consultation with a knowledgeable lawyer.

Medical malpractice can take many forms. Our attorneys can assist people who have been hurt because a provider:

• Failed to monitor vital signs appropriately
• Made a surgical error
• Wrote a wrong prescription
• Failed to diagnose cancer
• Overlooked critical symptoms during an office or emergency room visit
• Failed to assist bedridden patients in a timely manner
• Failed to perform a c-section, causing a birth injury such as cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, or shoulder dystocia
• Failed to type blood properly, causing illness by a transfusion error
• Conducted an unnecessary amputation

Our lawyers are dedicated to helping people injured as a result of medical negligence

In general, medical personnel are held to a higher standard than members of the public. We accept cases involving birth defect injuries, surgical errors, bad results and disfigurements from plastic surgery, improper diagnosis of heart attack, and failure to diagnose breast cancer or other cancers. We have assisted families grieving over the death of a family member or an injury to a baby.

Our medical malpractice lawyers understand that doctors and nurses make tragic mistakes - after all, they are people. In most cases, the consequences of mistakes are minor. However, because of the strict standard of care that applies to medical professionals, when mistakes that could have been prevented cause injury or death, the patient and his or her family may be able to recover money damages and other compensation for the injury, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs.

If you or a family member has been injured due to medical malpractice, our firm can help you. Contact Davis, Saperstein, & Salomon, P.C., today. We have trained medical professionals on staff and lawyers who concentrate their practices in that area. We use our in-house courtroom to develop effective strategies for your case based on the medical evidence. From our Teaneck, New Jersey, offices, we serve communities such as Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson, and Trenton.
