Practice Areas Description

We handle a broad range of personal injury claims, including:

- Railroad Work Injuries

We protect the rights of injured railroad workers, helping file claims for damages in state or federal courts. Attorney McEldrew, a former president of the Railroad Lawyers Association, is known and respected as one of the preeminent railroad injury attorneys in the country.

- Medical Malpractice

We represent people who have been injured because of the negligence of doctors, nurses or other medical personnel. We handle claims involving surgical error, prescription mistakes, failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis, emergency room errors, and birth trauma.

- Legal Malpractice

At McEldrew Law, we represent plaintiffs or defendants in legal negligence cases, handling cases involving failure to meet the standards of the profession, misuse of escrow funds, failure to timely file necessary or essential documents, and violation of ethical standards.

- Transportation Injuries

We advocate for people who have been injured because of someone else’s careless or negligent operation of a train, truck or car. We handle all types of injuries sustained at railway stations or because of the negligent operation of a train. We also help people recover full and fair compensation for injuries sustained in truck crashes or car accidents.

- Birth Trauma

We work closely with parents of children who have been hurt during pregnancy or the birth process, helping you get full and fair compensation for the negligent or careless acts of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel. We handle claims involving:

• Delivery room errors
• Lack of oxygen to mother or child and the consequent injuries, such as palsy, brain injury or brain damage
• Medication errors
• Erb’s, brachial plexus or cerebral palsy
• Forceps injuries, such as bruises or lacerations
• Shoulder dystocia
• Failure to diagnose or treat high-risk pregnancy issues

- Brachial Plexus Injuries

If your family needs advice about your legal options in the aftermath of a serious brachial plexus injury in your family, contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer at McEldrew Law in Philadelphia. We offer free consultations, and we can usually advance the expenses involved in the investigation and proof of your claim. We only recover our expenses if we successfully resolve your claims through settlement or trial.

- Car Accidents

We provide comprehensive counsel to people who have suffered injury in accidents involving negligence by automobile operators, whether as drivers, passengers or pedestrians. We handle all types of serious and catastrophic injury claims including brain or spinal cord injury, broken bones, burns, paralysis, and amputation or loss of limb. We also handle wrongful death claims.

- Cerebral Palsy

Because Pennsylvania law requires that medical malpractice lawsuits be supported by the opinions of qualified medical experts, our law firm's investigation of cerebral palsy cases begins with a review of the prenatal, perinatal and neonatal medical records to find out what went wrong, and who was responsible. We work with obstetricians, gynecologists, pathologists, nurse midwives, neonatologists, anesthesiologists and others whose experience and credentials are similar to those of the defendant medical professionals.

- Failure to Diagnose

McEldrew Law has a strong record of success in medical misdiagnosis litigation. In one case, we achieved a $2 million settlement for the family of a man who died of a heart attack after an emergency room physician misdiagnosed his symptoms as gastritis earlier that day. In another case, we settled a cancer victim's misdiagnosis claim for $1.5 million after his urologist missed the symptoms of bladder cancer.

- Emergency Room Malpractice

If you or someone in your family suffered a severe outcome after an emergency room visit, an experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help you determine whether any negligent errors may have caused the injury or death. If so, you will be entitled to damages. Contact McEldrew Law in Philadelphia to learn more about your legal rights in a free consultation with an AV Preeminent* trial attorney.
