“I was treated in a way that was both professional and profoundly caring.”
Leveling the playing field for patients and families
Thousands of patients are killed or seriously injured every year because of medical malpractice, and in Pennsylvania medical errors are more common than most people realize. If you or a loved one was harmed by a medical error, or you suspect medical negligence may have occurred, you’ve come to the right place.
We believe in leaving no stone unturned, and in working on every medical malpractice case like it’s the most important case we’ve ever seen. It is one of the reasons for our record-setting trial record in Philadelphia, and why insurance companies often get reasonable when they see our names on a lawsuit.
Our medical malpractice attorneys handle cases involving:
- Surgical errors
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose
- Emergency room errors
- Hospital negligence
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication and prescription errors
- Brain injuries from medical errors
- Negligent intubation
- Wrongful death
Hospitals, corporations, and insurance companies have experienced attorneys, expert witnesses, and substantial financial resources protecting their interests. Your family deserves a legal team capable of meeting them on equal ground.

Proven results in complex cases
The firm has recovered more than $800 million for injured clients, including substantial birth injury and medical malpractice results. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
A birth injury practice with national reach
We serve clients in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Texas and may handle birth injury matters elsewhere in cooperation with local counsel when required.
Built for medical evidence
Complex cases often depend on detailed medical and scientific evidence. We consult qualified physicians, nurses, life-care planners, economists, and other experts needed to explain what happened and what the future may require.
Trial-ready representation
We prepare serious cases for trial from the beginning. That preparation allows us to present the evidence, establish responsibility, and demonstrate the full value of our clients’ losses.
Direct, compassionate communication
Serious injuries affect far more than medical bills. We explain the process, provide meaningful updates, answer questions, and account for the complete impact on the person and family.
No attorney fee unless we recover compensation
There is no charge for the initial consultation. Attorney fees are paid from the recovery, not out of pocket. If we do not obtain compensation for you, you do not owe us an attorney fee.

Questions families often ask
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
A bad outcome does not automatically mean malpractice occurred. A claim generally requires showing that a provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care and that the failure caused serious harm. Our attorneys review what happened with qualified medical experts and explain your options.
How much does it cost to speak with an attorney?
The initial consultation is free. If the firm accepts your case, attorney fees are paid from the recovery. You do not owe an attorney fee unless compensation is recovered for you.
How long do I have to bring a medical malpractice claim?
Deadlines vary by state, the age of the injured person, the type of defendant, and other circumstances. Some claims require notice before a lawsuit may be filed. Contact an attorney promptly so important deadlines are not missed.
