Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The law firm of John A. Caputo is an experienced, skilled, and dedicated firm located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since the 1970s, John A. Caputo has litigated and tried before juries hundreds of cases representing people injured or killed as the result of the negligence and carelessness of companies, professionals, and other individuals. These cases involved many circumstances, including—

• Automobile collisions
• Truck accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Defective products
• Construction accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Dangerous premises
• Commercial litigation

Mr. Caputo embraces the belief that "nothing is accomplished well without passion." He describes his love of the work and his intense focus on attaining the best recovery possible for his clients as the foundation of all the attributes that have made his practice successful—experience, skill, dedication, and integrity.

Over the years, although most of his clients have been referred to him by other attorneys, many significant cases have come from word-of-mouth referrals by everyday citizens aware of the outstanding results and high awards he has obtained for others.

As the namesake of a top Pittsburgh medical malpractice law firm, Mr. Caputo has achieved record-setting, multimillion dollar recoveries in verdicts and settlements for clients throughout the region. He stresses that every case is fact specific with its own strengths and weaknesses. Past results do not guarantee that a similar case will be accepted or produce the same outcome.

When a case is meritorious and Mr. Caputo believes a positive result can be obtained for the client, he accepts the case on a contingent fee basis. Preparation expenses are advanced so that the client is not required to pay anything unless and until a recovery is made.

Our goal is to apply intense focus to each case the firm accepts and to perform every task necessary to achieve optimum recovery for the client. Mr. Caputo uses the extensive technical and medical library he has amassed over the years in addition to the Internet for research, and he employs the best available experts. The firm never takes a high-volume, assembly-line approach. "I have no desire to engage in mass media promotions such as billboards, radio, or TV ads," insists John Caputo.

John Caputo’s Pittsburgh personal injury law firm has been recognized nationally by numerous prestigious organizations that accept trial lawyers by invitation only, certified by nationally known boards, and named to industry "best of" groups:

• International Academy of Trial Lawyers
• International Society of Barristers
• American College of Trial Lawyers

Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include all serious or catastrophic injuries and death, including:

- Car and Truck Accidents

If you have been injured in an automobile accident, we can file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident to obtain an award of damages. In an auto accident injury suit, we must prove that the driver of the other vehicle caused the crash by not paying attention or not taking reasonable care. Receiving an award depends on what the other person should have anticipated at the time of the accident.

- Construction and Industrial Accidents

Construction sites and industrial locations such as mines and manufacturing plants are among the most dangerous places you can work. Unsafe conditions, error by a heavy equipment operator, defective machinery, or negligence by a property owner or equipment manufacturer can cause devastating injuries or death:

• Unsafe conditions
• Scaffolding accidents
• Electrical injuries
• Roofing accidents
• Faulty equipment
• Worksite falls
• Head trauma
• Spinal injuries
• Burns
• Amputation
• Crushing injuries
• Toxic substances

Whether you were a worker at the site or a bystander who was injured as a consequence of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Attorney John A. Caputo can help you seek appropriate compensation.

- Medical Malpractice

Attorney John A. Caputo offers skilled legal support for victims of medical malpractice. He is prepared to represent you in any type of case in which medical negligence played a role in your injury. These cases have included injuries or deaths from medical carelessness or surgical errors:

• Mismanagement of labor and delivery
• Surgical mistakes
• Anesthesia errors
• Oxygen deprivation
• Birth injuries
• Medication errors
• Ignorance of risk factors
• Failure to diagnose
• Infection acquired in hospital
• Paralysis
• Brain injury
• Strokes
• Liver injury from gall bladder surgery
• Misdiagnosis of cancer
• Misinterpretation of test results
• Poor post-operative care
• Delayed diagnosis
• Wrongful deaths from medical mistakes

- Premises and Property Liability

When you have been hurt because of the negligence or recklessness of a property owner, you may get compensation for your injuries from them. In order to collect on an injury claim in Pennsylvania, you must prove that the property owner or other responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care to prevent the injury by showing that certain conditions apply:

• A duty was owed to you by the person who owns or manages the property;
• The responsible individual or business failed to carry out the duty they owed you;
• You were injured;
• Your injury was caused by their failure.

Mr. Caputo has helped numerous clients with serious personal injuries to establish these conditions and win significant awards of damages based on premises liability.

- Products Liability

Mr. Caputo has successfully represented individuals who have suffered serious harm—including brain injuries, cognitive impairment, and severe disabilities—as a result of the use of defective or misrepresented products or medical equipment. Home accidents involving ladders, saws, power tools, appliances, and lawn tractors also produce valid liability claims. Other products liability cases he pursues involve catastrophic on-the-job injuries occurring in connection with use of defective materials, equipment, and vehicles.

- Natural Gas Rights and Claims

Western Pennsylvania is the site of large deposits of natural gas in what is known as the Marcellus Shale layer, which lies a few thousand feet below the surface. This makes tracts of land over the rich deposits and mineral rights very valuable. The rural landowners who own sizeable tracts of land or mineral rights are inundated with requests from energy companies to either buy or lease the gas rights. However, determining which offer is most beneficial and negotiating the complex legal matters that are involved in leasing or sale calls for the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney familiar with the situation.
