Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional healthcare provider, such as a doctor or dentist who fails to treat a patient with the standard of care exercised by those with similar training and experience in the community, resulting in harm to the patient. Medical malpractice can occur when a doctor, or other medical professional does something wrong, (such as operating on a healthy organ) or when a medical professional fails to provide necessary treatment in a timely manner.

The attorneys at Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC have the knowledge, experience and resources to fight for patients and their families who have suffered from negligent medical treatment by doctors, hospitals, nurses, and other healthcare providers. When you visit a doctor, you do so believing that the doctor will help you and will not make your condition worse. Medical malpractice is more than a personal injury, it is violation of trust. If you were harmed by a healthcare worker's actions, or his or her failure to act, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries.
