Medical Malpractice Lawyer in New Jersey

We trust doctors, nurses and hospitals with our health. Most do excellent work, but when a provider makes a preventable mistake, the harm can be devastating: a worsening illness, another surgery, permanent disability or the loss of a loved one. Medical malpractice happens when a health care provider fails to give the care a reasonably careful provider would have given in the same situation, and that failure causes injury.

These are some of the most complex injury cases there are. They require medical records, expert review and careful preparation, and the providers and their insurers defend them hard. IBEZIM LAW OFFICES, PC represents patients and families across New Jersey. Attorney Sebastian O. Ibezim, Jr. has practiced law in New Jersey since 1997 and in New York since 1999, with nearly 30 years of trial and litigation experience. We listen to your story, review your records with qualified medical experts, and tell you honestly whether you have a case.

Types of Medical Malpractice We Handle

What You Must Prove

A bad outcome alone isn’t malpractice. To win a case in New Jersey, you generally must show:

• A provider-patient relationship: the doctor or provider was treating you.
• A breach of the standard of care: the provider did something a reasonably careful provider in the same field would not have done, or failed to do something they should have.
• Causation: that mistake caused or worsened your injury.
• Damages: you suffered real harm, such as added medical bills, lost income, pain or disability.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Every case is different. The value of a claim depends on the injury, its long-term effects, the evidence and the available insurance coverage.

What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

1. Get the care you need now. Your health comes first. A second opinion from a different provider can also help.
2. Request your medical records. You have the right to copies of your records from doctors and hospitals.
3. Write down what happened. Note dates, names, symptoms, what you were told and when.
4. Keep bills and paperwork. Save medical bills, prescriptions, discharge papers and proof of lost income.
5. Don’t sign releases or talk to the provider’s insurer. Speak with a lawyer first.
6. Call us early. Expert review takes time, and the deadlines are strict.
