Medical Malpractice

New Jersey Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Many people who have been injured as the result of medical malpractice feel guilty about making a claim on physicians, surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, physical therapists, or other medical specialists. The reality is that malpractice victims rarely "sue" doctors or other health care professionals personally. What they really do is sue the insurance company that carries the doctor's malpractice insurance policy.

If you or a family member has had an unexpected negative outcome after receiving medical treatment or advice—put nearly 40 years of experience and knowledge to work for you. Contact The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt

Although we have great respect for health care providers in general, at The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt we also know that malpractice is a real problem that injures or kills real people every day. How do we know this? We know this because before he became a plaintiff's attorney more than 17 years ago, John Hoyt used to defend healthcare providers against medical malpractice claims. This type of background is invaluable in these cases and, when combined with the experience and expertise of our staff physician, enables us to help individuals from throughout New Jersey in a broad range of malpractice cases, including:

  • Surgical mistakes
  • Emergency room doctor error
  • Failure to diagnose a treatable illness or condition
  • Misdiagnosis / delayed diagnosis
  • Birth injury
  • Nursing medication errors
  • Anesthesia malpractice
  • Pharmacist malpractice

Our knowledge of these and other types of medical malpractice cases can benefit you in two important ways. First, with our experience and the physician we have on staff, we can quickly evaluate potential claims and identify critical mistakes—something that can save you a great deal of time and money if there is no case. And second, because we understand the medical science behind these cases, the protocols that are supposed to be followed, and the level of care that patients are supposed to receive—we can readily and persuasively convey that information to judges and juries alike.
