Christopher M. Murphy, Esq. – FELA Litigation Attorney

Christopher Murphy has spent the last 15 years representing those persons and families suffering injury or death due to the carelessness of others. By limiting his practice to those clients suffering catastrophic injury and wrongful death he has been able to dedicate the significant time necessary to obtain the highest possible compensation in such cases. Chris has represented over 200 families in wrongful death cases over the years.

Christopher’s legal practice focuses on personal injuries, accidents, mesothelioma, wrongful death, and train derailments including FELA litigation.  FELA, or the Federal Employers’ Liability Act, was passed in 1908 by Congress to combat the excessive death count associated with railroad accidents at the turn of the 20th century.  FELA was put in place to allow railroad workers not covered under standard workers compensation laws to sue companies as a result of their workplace injury; commonly referred to as a FELA injunction.

Passaic County Malpractice Lawyers

March 17, 2010 in New Jersey, Passaic County by Michael

Passaic County Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Passaic County Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Passaic County malpractice lawyers from Gelman Gelman Wiskow & McCarthy LLC explain how getting legal help before settling a case could earn you a just medical malpractice settlement.

Medical malpractice cases involve negligence or a wrongful act by a healthcare professional. The healthcare professional can be a surgeon, doctor, psychiatrist, pharmacist, dentist, nurse, and anyone else who renders treatment, medication, or equipment. You have the right to sue any person who was aware or participated in the malpractice, as well as the facility where it occurred.

A public announcement of the Passaic County medical malpractice would surely diminish the faith and trust patients have in the facility and healthcare worker. A financial loss and damage to the reputation of the responsible party would be worrisome. In order to keep things quiet, the responsible party’s attorney or insurance company may offer you a settlement before you initiate a lawsuit.

You should present your case to a Passaic County medical malpractice lawyer for review. Your attorney will negotiate on your behalf and ensure you receive the compensation that you deserve. Damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of earnings, and out-of-pocket expenses will be sought through litigation. Most medical malpractice cases are settled out of court, but your attorney will be ready to proceed to litigation if the settlement is not what you had anticipated.

Getting legal help from the Passaic County medical malpractice attorneys at Gelman Gelman Wiskow & McCarthy is the first step to a medical malpractice settlement. Call us today at (973) 366-3900 for a free initial consultation.
