Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

Medical Malpractice requires unique knowledge of multiple areas of medicine, hospital care, and nursing home management, as well as having access to a vast array of medical experts to assist in the review and evaluation of potential cases.  Javerbaum Wurgaft attorneys bring years of experience in both New York and New Jersey to this specialty through its Medical Malpractice Group.  Our lawyers meet, review and evaluate each case to determine if a case is worthy of being undertaken.
