Medical Malpractice
Mark Weinstein has specialized and succeeded in medical malpractice for his entire career, which is why so many attorneys refer their medical malpractice cases to him at Weinstein & Weinstein, P.A. Before representing victim of medical malpractice and their families who needlessly suffered injury or death due to the carelessness of a doctor, nurse, physician's assistant, or hospital, Mark actually defended doctors and hospitals in New York City at one of our nation's largest law firms; Mark uses this invaluable knowledge of how things work "behind the scenes" in his aggressive representation of medical malpractice victims and their families.
So what makes a "medical malpractice" case? There are essentially two requirements. The first is that a health care provider was careless, which usually is to say that the health care provider acted beneath the basic standard of care expected of a physician under the circumstances. The second requirement is that the carelessness caused harm to the patient.
Over his career, Mark has developed and cultivated relationships which expert physicians in almost every specialty imaginable all over the country, from the very finest ivy league medical schools to the most respected hospitals, from coast to coast, who are willing to review potential medical malpractice cases, help identify particular breaches of standards of care and the harm those breaches cause, and then testify in a victim's favor where the facts warrant.
Medical malpractice litigation is difficult - jurors often start out believing that a victim should not be compensated because doctors don't intend to cause harm. Of course, that is not the law, any more than it would be fair to not hold a previously perfect driver responsible for his actions if he inadvertently runs a red light and injures a pedestrian. Mark personally handles your medical malpractice case - by knowing you and understanding your plight, we are better able to communicate the justness of your cause and the severity of the injury that you so needlessly suffered to a jury, or to insurance company representatives at a mediation.
Additionally, we have expert economists and vocational rehabilitation experts who in these tragic circumstances have convincingly testified for us and submitted comprehensive reports that persuasively show future economic losses, and future medical and therapy expenses, all due to the loss of ability to work or function, or to work at the same level as before, or to simply engage appropriately in the activities of daily living we all so often take for granted, or where the malpractice has tragically caused death. Their efforts have helped us collect millions of dollars in damages for medical malpractice victims.
Because we have been successful in the past, we have the resources to fight the fight the way it needs to be fought. If you seek responsible, caring, and yet tenacious lawyers to fight for you, we'd like to help. Our track record proves that we can.
We have written a bit on certain types of medical malpractice cases in subheadings on this website.
