Our Experience with Medical Negligence vs. Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice isn’t just an error—it’s a betrayal of trust. Misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, or prescription mix-ups can leave you with crippling bills and enduring suffering. Without top-tier legal counsel, your claim can falter due to missed deadlines or underestimated damages.

  • Why You Need Edelstein Law: We have litigated both plaintiff and defense cases, giving us insider knowledge of every tactic the opposition may use.

  • Unchecked Risks: Evidence vanishes, experts recant, and insurers dig in—leaving victims with little leverage.

  • Our One-Stop Advantage: From initial investigation to trial, we manage every facet of your case—medical experts, depositions, motions, settlement demands—so you remain focused on healing.

Medical Negligence & Malpractice Meets the Expertise of Edelstein Law

At Edelstein Law, LLP, our Medical Negligence practice is dedicated exclusively to holding negligent providers accountable. Our blend of legal prowess and medical insight ensures no detail goes unnoticed.

    • Failure to diagnose cancer, stroke, or infection can close the window for life-saving treatment. We partner with top radiologists and oncologists to recreate clinical timelines, proving how timely intervention would have changed your outcome.

    • Operating on the wrong limb, leaving instruments behind, or botching a procedure causes needless harm. Our team collaborates with board-certified surgeons to identify technical breaches and quantify long-term disability costs.

    • Anesthesia overdoses or airway mismanagement can result in brain injury or death. We engage leading anesthesiologists to reconstruct dosing charts and monitor logs, exposing lapses in standard protocols.

    • A single wrong dose, dangerous interaction, or pharmacy dispensing mistake can trigger catastrophic reactions. We retain clinical pharmacologists to trace the chain of custody—from prescription to administration—and demonstrate causation.

    • Shoulder dystocia, delayed C-section, or failure to monitor fetal distress can cause cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy. Working with respected OB-GYN experts, we dissect fetal heart tracings and labor records to prove malpractice.

  • Triage delays, misread labs, or infection-control breakdowns in the ER cost precious minutes—and lives. We consult emergency-medicine physicians to show how adherence to triage protocols would have prevented harm.

    • Defective pacemakers, hip implants, or surgical mesh can trigger recalls and widespread injury. We team with biomedical engineers to analyze device failures and link design defects to your suffering.

    • Patients deserve to know risks and alternatives. We review consent forms and physician notes with bioethics scholars to prove your right to an informed decision was violated.

    • Radiation overdoses or misread CT scans can let cancer spread unchecked. We partner with oncologists and radiologists to reveal how correct readings and dosing would have altered your prognosis.

Frequently Asked Questions Medical Negligence and Malpractice | PA & NJ

  • Answer: Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver care that meets the accepted standards of practice, resulting in injury or harm to a patient. This breach can take various forms, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or improper treatment protocols. To establish a medical malpractice claim, it must be demonstrated that the provider's negligence led directly to the patient’s injury, and that this injury would not have occurred if the accepted standards of care had been followed. Victims of medical malpractice have the right to seek compensation for their damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs.

  • Answer: In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident.  Pennsylvania also imposes a 7-year repose in some cases. Early action preserves critical evidence.

  • Answer: Yes. Pennsylvania requires a Certificate of Merit within 60 days; New Jersey requires demonstrable expert support to survive motions to dismiss.

  • Answer: Typically, economic damages such as medical costs, future care, lost wages, and more are awarded. Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life, and sometimes punitive damages, may also be awarded.

  • Answer: We advance all costs and work on contingency—our fee is a percentage of your recovery. We don’t get paid unless we win; you won’t be responsible for invoices, medical records, costs on the file, or any financial responsibility.

  • Answer: Our dual license in PA and NJ, proven track record, and commitment to protecting your rights set us apart. We offer personalized legal strategies, aggressive representation, and compassionate support to help you navigate this challenging process. In other words…we will fight on your behalf until you’ve exhausted all legal options and are made whole again.
