Medical Malpractice

Lawrence M. Simon - New Jersey Medical Malpractice Lawyer

For thorough investigation of the circumstances of any serious or fatal injury suffered while under the care of a physician, surgeon, or other health care professional, contact a North Jersey medical malpractice attorney at the Law Offices of Lawrence M. Simon. Our experience with the development and presentation of serious personal injury claims through professional experts can help you realize a full recovery on your claim.

Medical malpractice lawsuits depend upon the plaintiff's ability to show not only that he or she was injured due to an error or omission by the doctor or nurse, but also that the mistake was one that a reasonably careful professional in the given specialty would not have made. In other words, expert evidence from physicians, specialists, and sometimes even hospital administrators, is necessary to establish that the defendant's error violated a particular standard of care.

Bergen County medical malpractice lawyer Lawrence M. Simon can represent you in health care negligence cases involving:

• Errors in emergency room treatment
• Surgical mistakes
• Negligent administration or monitoring of anesthesia
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Obstetric negligence resulting in conditions such as cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy
• Misdiagnosis of serious illness
• Prescription mistakes, including contraindicated medications

The consequences of a treating physician's error can be disastrous or even fatal to the patient. Improper performance by an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist during even routine surgery can result in permanent brain damage due to lack of oxygen in the blood.

Our analysis and development of the facts relating to damages is painstaking and comprehensive, as to both the patient's immediate condition, and his or her prognosis for recovery, further surgery, or permanent disability. Our objective for our clients is to achieve the maximum recovery possible based on all of the consequences of the defendant's negligence, not just the most obvious elements of your damages.
