Causes of Personal Injury

Medical Malpractice

Though many doctors in the U.S. are skilled and caring, others don’t always put their patients’ needs first. Some physicians have used broken equipment, misdiagnosed patients, or made surgical errors. Unfortunately, these types of mistakes often turn out to be fatal. Patients and their families deserve to be compensated for their pain and suffering.

For more than a quarter-century, Weitz & Luxenberg has been winning complicated medical cases. Since its inception, our medical malpractice team has worked on 1,000-plus lawsuits for wrongful death, injury, and misdiagnosis, recovering $7 million for our clients in one year alone.^*

We’re proud of the results we achieved for our clients and their families … and hope that the settlements serve as a deterrent so doctors can avoid future cases of medical malpractice.”
— Allan Zelikovic, head of Weitz & Luxenberg’s Medical Malpractice unit.
