Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice


Accidents can a devastating effect on your physical health and financial well-being. The attorneys at Weiss Ortiz P.C. can help you obtain the compensation you need and deserve. We handle a wide variety of claims, such as:

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

Construction workers and pedestrians alike can face serious, and sometimes fatal, injuries when something goes wrong at a construction site. At Weiss Ortiz P.C., we pursue claims against all responsible parties for injuries sustained

DOG BITES

Vicious dog attacks are not only terrifying, but can also lead to a lifetime of physical and emotional trauma. The law is clear in the protections it provides for victims of vicious dog bites, and we have helped numerous victims obtain compensation for their injuries.

Medical Malpractice

Medical mistakes, including wrong diagnosis, issuing improper prescriptions and surgical errors, can have a devastating impact on a family. You depend on medical care providers to provide accurate, safe solutions to medical issues — they owe you a duty of care. When your trust has been violated or a doctor has not exercised reasonable judgement, you owe it to your family to fight back.


When a medical error impacts your family, you are suffering emotionally; but, you may also be facing higher medical bills, lost wages, and a host of other unexpected expenses. A personal injury lawsuit may be the only opportunity afforded to you to recover financially and hold the medical providers accountable for their error.


While mistakes do happen, even when a doctor is acting in good faith, there are times when a medical practitioner is negligent or fails exercise the proper level of care; in these cases, you may have a medical malpractice case. If you, or a loved one has suffered due to medical malpractice in Chicago, Illinois or Miami, Florida, contact Weiss Ortiz P.C. for a free consultation.
