Free Attorney Advice For Medical Malpractice & More

For more than 30 years, each personal injury lawyer at Shapiro Law Group has helped victims seek justice from health care professionals who committed catastrophic harm. Filing a lawsuit is about seeking fair compensation to pay for expenses that you had no control over. Another person or company made a mistake, and they should be held accountable for the harm caused. While no amount of money can ever truly compensate anyone severely injured by medical malpractice, that person should at least be made as comfortable as possible and provided the best medical and attendant care following unreasonable medical negligence.

Our team has represented clients suffering from all types of medical malpractice. If you or a loved one has questions about what to do in the aftermath of the following injuries, we invite you to schedule a free consultation to discuss your options with us by calling (800) 258-HELP.

What Our Clients Say

“My dad lost his fingers on one hand due to malpractice after a successful surgery that did not involve fingers. For months we were told it was because of debris in his blood. It was not. Mr. Shapiro and his associates were relentless in getting the medical records until the "missing" page was sent. Then they had the hard and arduous job of finding a doctor willing to testify. An informative video and audio with the doctor's testimony was presented. Case closed. Because of their due diligence, a satisfactory settlement was reached. Mr. Shapiro's law firm worked hard, were extremely thorough, professional, and kept in constant communication throughout the whole stressful ordeal. Mr. Shapiro still remembers my parents and keeps in touch with my mom, even after 15 years have passed. That alone is impressive.”

If it weren’t for the Shapiro Law Group fighting for our daughter and family, I don’t know where we would be now. They are very thorough, knowledgeable, and know what needs to be done. Lawsuits can take a very long time, and we knew that Shapiro Law Group would not give up. They did whatever was necessary to help our daughter. We can’t thank Mr. Shapiro enough for all he has done for so many! During a very difficult situation in our lives, the Shapiro Law Group went above and beyond in guiding our family in helping our daughter. We would highly recommend this firm. Thank you,”
