Don’t Wait to Take Action
In New Jersey, you generally have two years to file a medical malpractice claim. In some cases, that period begins on the date of injury. In others, it may start when the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been linked to medical negligence.
Speaking with an attorney early can help clarify your timeline, preserve important evidence, and protect your rights. A free consultation with Dunne Law Firm does not obligate you to take legal action. It simply provides the information you need to move forward with confidence.

You Can Afford Excellent Representation
You can afford seasoned legal representation for your medical malpractice case. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is only collected if we recover compensation for you. Free consultations ensure you can get answers without financial risk or added stress.
Don’t Talk to Insurance Before You Talk to Us
If you believe you or a loved one may have been the victim of medical malpractice, don't speak with an insurance adjuster before consulting a medical malpractice lawyer. Once you retain one of our Springfield, NJ, attorneys, all communication with insurers should go through your lawyer.
Medical professionals and healthcare facilities are required by law to carry liability insurance. These insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts and will not hesitate to use your statements against you in any way they can. Do not let a corporation’s bottom line take priority over the justice your family deserves. When our attorneys take your case, we pursue fair settlements or jury awards so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal work.
