Medical Malpractice

If counsel do not undertake risks such as the one in this action, some meritorious claims will never be litigated and deserving plaintiffs will suffer an injustice. Medical negligence claims are expensive to prosecute, complex, time consuming and must be prosecuted vigorously. There are few lawyers who will agree to represent a plaintiff in a medical negligence action, particularly when one factor is the risk of establishing liability and the disbursements involved are significant.

Soloway, Wright are those lawyers. Our lawyers will take the time to assess carefully if you have a case against a health care professional or hospital and we give you the advice and information you need to decide if you want to sue.
