Passaic County Medical Malpractice Claims
We trust doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers to provide services that meet the accepted medical care standard. However, medical professionals breach their duty of care for many reasons. If their breach of duty harms a patient, they can be held legally responsible for the patient’s damages under New Jersey’s medical malpractice laws.
Medical errors and medical negligence can lead to life-threatening conditions and permanent disabilities. Medical malpractice covers a wide range of mistakes and negligence, including:
- Directly injuring a patient or causing their death
- Causing a patient to require additional treatment
- Worsening a patient’s health condition
