Protecting New Jersey Clients Against Physician Errors
Although most physicians do not perform surgery, they still have a strong impact on their patients. When they misdiagnose a condition, prescribe inappropriate medications, or make other errors, the results can be devastating. If you or a loved one have suffered a serious injury or illness as a result of a physician’s error, make sure you work with an experienced malpractice attorney who can determine whether you have a case and obtain the compensation you deserve.
At Porzio Injury, our attorneys bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to medical malpractice claims throughout New Jersey. Attorney Lee S. Goldsmith holds an M.D. from New York University School of Medicine. This legal and medical knowledge helps us provide accurate assessments of our clients’ cases, and we know how to attack the opposition in court to help our clients receive maximum compensation for physician errors and other medical malpractice claims.
