Personal Injury - Medical Malpractice

New Jersey Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Medical Malpractice Attorneys in New Jersey

For many years, Aiello, Harris, Devero, Marth & Schiffman has represented those who have been seriously injured by medical malpractice or physician negligence.

We carefully screen all medical related cases. Medical negligence is extremely difficult to prove, and requires qualified experts who are willing to testify that the care given failed to meet the appropriate standards, and that this failure caused injuries.

However, doctors and nurses are just like the rest of us - they sometimes make mistakes. And when caregivers make mistakes, they must be accountable for the harm they cause - just like the rest of us. We trust doctors; we need to trust them. When they violate that trust, doctors need to be held responsible.

Some common examples of situations that may involve medical negligence include:

• Failure to Diagnose, or Properly Diagnose an Illness; 
• Failure to Treat an Illness; 
• Incorrect Treatment of a Diagnosed Illness; 
• Improper use of Anesthesia; 
• Improper Administration of Drugs; 
• Failure to Order Proper Tests; 
• Failure to Consult with a Specialist; 
• Failure to Monitor a Patient; 
• Failure to Stabilize a Patient; 
• Improper Use of a Medical Device; 
• Failure to Obtain Consent of a Patient;
• Birth Injury or Birth Trauma due to Obstetrical Physician, Nursing, or Hospital Negligence; 
• Injury to Mother or Child during a VBAC (vaginal birth after C-Section); Failure of Hospital Staff to Properly Interpret Doctors' Orders on Patient Charts, Resulting in Incorrect Administration of Medications or Treatments; 
• Surgical Procedures that are not necessary, or that are done without Patient Consent.

However, in order to prove a case of negligence, the victim must prove that the negligence, such as the mistakes listed above, caused their injury. Causation is sometimes the most difficult part of the case. Proof of causation must come from qualified experts who rely on sound science and medicine. Determining if you have a potential case for medical malpractice or medical negligence is difficult, at best.

Under New Jersey law, a plaintiff pursuing a medical malpractice case must also obtain a Certification of merit from a physician certifying under the penalty of perjury that an act of medical practice occurred. If this Certification is not filed by the times set forth under the New Jersey statues, the case will be barred. Therefore, it is important that you consult will an attorney so that the proper legal steps can be taken.

While proving a physical, emotional, or cognitive injury can be difficult, our experienced and knowledgeable attorneys and staff are able to undertake difficult cases and prevail, convincing skeptics of the merits of a claim via credible, trustworthy evidence and objective test findings.
