Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits can arise when people are injured by careless or intentional acts of a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital, or other healthcare provider. When these actions cause an injury to another person (but the actions do not rise to the level of a crime), they are said to be a "tort," or civil wrong, which can provide the basis for a lawsuit.

Levin & Perconti has emerged as one of the nation's most recognized and respected leaders in the area of nursing home negligence. Both in the courtroom and outside of it, we are leading the charge to make a difference and create an environment where substandard care will not be tolerated.

John dedicates his career to representing individuals and their families in personal injury and wrongful death cases resulting from medical negligence, nursing home abuse and neglect, defective products, aviation and vehicular collision, premises liability, and construction accidents.

Wrongful death as a legal term is a death that has been caused by the fault of another person. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture of a defective or dangerous product, the construction of an unsound structure or building, or failing to diagnose a fatal disease may be considered under the law as "wrongful deaths."
