Medical Malpractice Lawyer
What Is Medical Malpractice?
/
Medical malpractice is negligence, incompetence, or willful harm by a medical professional or healthcare organization such as a hospital. These incidents of medical errors and other types of malpractice can have major health and financial implications for the victims and their families. Medical malpractice lawyers fight to get justice and compensation for victims of medical mistakes by proving that malpractice occurred.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Our Hoboken, NJ, medical malpractice lawyers handle a wide range of medical malpractice cases. Some of the most common medical malpractice claims involve:
Misdiagnoses can lead to a patient undergoing unnecessary treatment. Failure to diagnose can prevent a patient from receiving timely treatment, resulting in significant losses.
Permanent injury or death can result from pharmaceutical errors, such as prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, and incorrect dispensing. Contact our medical malpractice lawyers to learn more.
Birth injuries result in cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brain injury, and more, causing the baby to suffer a lifelong disability and require ongoing medical care.
Medical professionals are required by law to obtain informed consent. This includes informing the patient of risks, benefits, and ensuring the patient has the legal capacity to give proper consent.
Surgical errors include performing the wrong surgery, leaving objects in the body, anesthesia errors, or operating on the wrong part of the body. These medical mistakes can result in bodily harm or death.

How Can an Attorney Help
With My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Our medical malpractice attorneys can help you make the strongest case for compensation when misinformed consent, misdiagnosis, or other medical mistakes by a healthcare provider lead to bodily harm or wrongful death. This requires an intimate knowledge of the standards that medical professionals must meet, and relationships with trusted medical experts. Our firm has both. Serving clients throughout New Jersey from our Hoboken, Avon-by-the-Sea, and Kearny, NJ, offices, the lawyers at Dunne, Dunne & Cohen, LLC can help you collect damages for the losses you have suffered.
How Long Do I Have to File in New Jersey?
If you or a loved one have been harmed by medical malpractice, the statute of limitations in New Jersey gives you just two years to file.
The clock for your medical malpractice case typically begins ticking on the date of your personal injury or medical negligence.
It's also possible that you may have more time to file, thanks to New Jersey's discovery rule. It essentially restarts the clock. Instead of giving you two years from the day the medical malpractice was caused, you will have two years from the day you first noticed the effects of your personal injury.
Though your situation may seem overwhelming, our dedicated medical malpractice lawyers can help you throughout the process. We'll focus on the results, so you can focus on healing.
Let Our Family-Owned Law Firm Guide You
Medical negligence can have lifelong effects. If you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice, you don't have to struggle alone. Instead, let our medical malpractice attorneys represent you.
We are also a family-owned and operated law firm — and our tenacious team will fight for you just as we would for our own loved ones.

Wondering If You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
"Retained Lenny Cohen on a recommendation from a close friend. Always sound advice, he never rushed me into a settlement, always returned my calls, and never overcharged. My ex wife actually went up to him after the divorce was final, and said, she wished she had him for an attorney!! It was like talking to good friend over a couple of drinks!! Highly recommended!!" Jerry Perna, 5-Star Review
Investigating Causes of Medical Malpractice
A thorough investigation of the circumstances leading up to an injury is the first step in the legal process. First, your attorney will need you to provide all documentation you have regarding the incident. They will also listen as you explain what occurred. Once we have a clear understanding of the facts and legal liability, we can advise you on the best plan of action.
If you aren't sure if you should pursue a medical malpractice claim, our Hoboken, NJ, attorneys provide free consultations to review your case and help you decide if you should move forward. You have absolutely nothing to lose by speaking with our lawyers.
Medical Malpractice Can Change Your Life
Potential Damages
A personal injury case can provide you with much-needed closure. It can also give you and your family the resources needed to recover and start a new chapter.
When determining what kind of compensation is appropriate, we will assess your losses. Some considerations are:
- Lost wages, both current and long-term
- Compromised ability to make a living
- Pain and suffering (physical, mental, and emotional)
- Costs of ongoing medical care
- Punitive damages for willful medical negligence
Regardless of the circumstances, we can strategically manage your case so that you are compensated fairly. We know that personal injuries are difficult enough without the stress of dealing with insurance companies and legal procedures. Our Hoboken, NJ, law firm will do everything we can to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Working with Insurance Companies
If you believe you or a loved one were the victim of medical malpractice, do not speak with an insurance adjuster until you have consulted with one of our medical malpractice lawyers. Once you have retained one of our Hoboken, NJ, attorneys, all communication should be deferred to your lawyer.
Medical practitioners and medical establishments are required by law to carry liability insurance. Insurance companies are only focused on paying out as little as possible. Don't let a corporation's bottom line take priority over the justice your family needs and deserves. Once our attorneys take your case, they will aggressively pursue the settlement or jury award you and your loved one will need in order to move on with your lives. Your attorney will do the hard work for you so you can focus on healing.
