Surgical Mistake Lawyer in Roseland, NJ

Surgical Mistake Overview

Nagel Rice, LLP: Surgical Mistakes

While even the most routine surgical procedures carry some risk of an unexpected bad outcome, avoidable surgical mistakes claim the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year and cause serious harm to countless others.

Unfortunately for victims, the health care professionals who make these mistakes, the hospitals where they occur and the malpractice insurance companies for both will rarely admit fault and will often fight any claim of medical negligence with every resource at their disposal. They do this because their lobbying efforts have made it difficult for plaintiffs to even get into court, let alone win these cases.

For all these reasons and more, any individual or family affected by a bad surgical outcome should speak with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible.

And in New Jersey, New York City or surrounding portions of southern New York, the law firm you want to contact after any bad surgical outcome is Nagel Rice, LLP.

We try cases and we produce results.

At Nagel Rice, we regularly bring medical malpractice cases to trial and have argued more medical malpractice cases before the appellate courts of New Jersey, including its Supreme Court, than any other law firm in the state. These efforts have produced more than $100 million in medical malpractice verdicts and settlements for our previous clients, as well as tens of millions of dollars in cases specifically involving surgical mistakes.

Because of our experience and repeated success, other law firms and attorneys who trust us to represent their clients refer many of our malpractice cases to us.
