Philadelphia Medical Malpractice Law Firm
Medical Malpractice
When a family member or someone close to you is admitted to a hospital, it is a scary experience. Once they are admitted, you think they are in good hands and are going to get better. Sadly though, each year, thousands of patients, just like you or a loved one, are further harmed or even die due to medical malpractice while they are patients in a hospital.
The Institute of Medicine estimated that somewhere in between 44,000 and 98,000 patients die each year in a hospital due to medical errors. That does not include the thousands of other patients that are also victims of medical errors that lead to life altering and catastrophic injuries. A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that a survey of doctors, who responded, experienced one-third of their loved ones being a victim of medical malpractice or hospital errors that led to serious injuries or even death. That survey was just not from doctors. That survey was from family members that just happened to be doctors, physicians, or have medical degrees.
No one really knows exactly just how many hospital patients are victims of medical malpractice or wrongful death each year because so many medical errors or medical mistakes are not made public for everyone to see. That is why you need to contact an experienced medical malpractice law firm if you or a loved one have been harmed, hurt, or died while being a patient at a hospital.

Record Breaking Medical Malpractice Verdicts
In one case, lawyers now with The Beasley Reiff Law Group secured the largest medical malpractice verdict in Pennsylvania history, involving an adult heart surgeon practicing on a newborn who required a relatively simple heart procedure. The surgeon was unfamiliar with the anatomy of a premature child, causing the infant to sustain brain damage and arm amputation.
In another case, within weeks of a separate $100 million medical malpractice verdict, our experienced and highly talented Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers obtained the second largest medical malpractice verdict in history in the amount of $55 million. This was a case tried against world famous physician William Norwood, M.D., who performed an unauthorized surgical procedure on Steven Gault, rendering him severely brain damaged and in permanent need of life long care.
Another Successful Win: Protecting Those Who Have Been Wronged
In another Philadelphia malpractice case tried for six weeks on behalf of a brain-injured baby, the jury awarded $37 million after our Philadelphia medical malpractice attorneys were successfully able to prove that obstetrical negligence caused a mother to deliver a premature baby. In this particular case, after the baby's delivery, another doctor cared for the newborn in the delivery room and misplaced a breathing tube intended for the baby's airway. This tube was inserted directly into the esophagus, causing prolonged oxygen deprivation and severe, permanent brain damage.
