About Us
Where Legal Brilliance meets medical expertise
From healing hands to legal minds
Our founding partner started his career in the field of medicine, having completed rotations through paediatrics, obstetrics, radiology, and neurology. He studied medical terminology and gained in-depth knowledge about a variety of medical procedures, as well as the ways in which they could go wrong. Following his completion of medical school, he decided to take what he learned to fight on behalf of injured patients. Now he only practices law and only represents the injured.
We believe we have the finest background and training to advocate for our clients, which has assisted us in obtaining record verdict and settlements throughout the country. Unlike solo-practitioners, we roundtable all cases among our lawyers with advanced degrees to determine the most effective approach to present your case in court. At Gershon, Willoughby and Getz our lawyers are trial lawyers and trying medical negligence cases is all we do. Your case will stay in the best possible hands from the beginning until the final settlement or the jury’s verdict.
*The facts of every case are different so past successes are not a guarantee of the outcome for any future case.
We are there for the biggest injustices in our healthcare system
When following a Medical Malpractice case, our goal is to have a satisfied client. Cases that go through trial are hard fought battles with much hanging in the balance both emotionally and financially. For this reason, we have to be selective regarding the types of cases we can represent, especially as we take on clients free of charge until the final verdict is ruled in their favor. Here are the kinds of cases we take on:
Medical malpractice
Birth injuries
Wrongful death
Fatal prescription errors
Brain damage & injury
Delayed diagnosis
Anesthesia errors
Nursing home neglect & abuse
Critical surgical errors
We have found that because the damages are smaller, yet expensive to litigate, certain clients will not receive ample compensation to justify a lengthy, difficult legal battle. To avoid such poor results, these are some examples of cases we do not handle:
Non-permanent injury cases
Dental malpractice
Plastic surgery cases
Our clients Receive the justice they deserve
