Medical Negligence
Representing Residents in Medical Malpractice Claims
When a doctor, nurse or health care provider deviates from medically acceptable standards of care and causes the patient to suffer, you need to consult with an experienced lawyer. This may seem like a foreign and confusing legal concept, but it can affect all of our lives every time we seek out the advice of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional. We rely on medical professionals to provide medical care that will not hurt us. At Francis X. Dorrity & Associated, located in Jersey City, our experienced lawyers have been representing people in medical malpractice cases throughout New Jersey, New York and the metropolitan area for over 35 years. We focus our practice on serious workers' compensation, medical malpractice, and personal injury claims.
