Medical Negligence

Representing New Jersey Residents in Medical Malpractice Claims

When physicians deviate from the medically acceptable standards of care, you need the experience of trial lawyers.  This may seem like a foreign and confusing legal concept, but it can affect all of our lives every time we seek out the advice of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional. We rely on the abilities of medical professionals every time they provide treatment for any medical condition.

At Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices, located in Jersey City, our experienced lawyers have been representing people in medical malpractice claims throughout the State of New Jersey for over 35 years. We focus our practice on serious workers' compensation, medical malpractice, and personal injury claims.

Medical Negligence — When Medical Professionals Fall Short

There are many examples of medical malpractice that occurs in hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices every day. For over 35 years, our firm has been helping those individuals injured or killed at the hands of negligent medical professionals. While the following list is not exhaustive, it provides you with examples of the types of medical malpractice claims that we handle:

• Birth Injuries
• Surgical and Anesthesia Errors
• Nursing and Medication Errors
• Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose
• Hospital Negligence 
• Radiological Negligence 
• Doctor Negligence 
• Emergency Room Errors  

Deviation from the Established Standard of Care

Our firm is particular about the cases that we handle — we represent only a select few clients every year, allowing us to provide the full attention and resources that each case requires. This includes retaining the experts necessary to prove that a standard of care was violated and that a deviation has occurred from the medically acceptable standards of care. We must prove that this deviation is causally related to your injuries, and you have suffered serious and permanent injuries.
