Protecting Patients From Medical Negligence
The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm: Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable
Medical malpractice is not just a medical failure—it is a violation of a patient’s fundamental right to competent, ethical care. Skolnick Weiser Law Firm is committed to protecting patients and families who have been harmed by preventable medical errors and professional negligence.
When doctors, hospitals, or healthcare systems fail to meet accepted medical standards, the consequences can be devastating. Our firm stands with injured patients and families, aggressively pursuing accountability when negligence leads to permanent injury, loss of independence, or wrongful death.
We act as fierce advocates for patients harmed by:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical and anesthesia errors
- Medication and prescription mistakes
- Failure to monitor or treat medical complications
- Birth injuries and brain injuries
- Hospital negligence and systemic failures
Medical malpractice cases are complex, heavily defended, and emotionally taxing. We take on these cases because patients deserve answers, accountability, and justice.
