Berks County Medical Malpractice Attorney
When you put your health or your loved one’s care in the hands of a medical professional, you expect skill, precision, and compassion. But when a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails to meet that standard of care, the outcome can be devastating. Medical mistakes can leave lasting physical, emotional, and financial scars — and no patient should bear that burden alone.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County medical malpractice attorneys fight for victims of medical negligence. We stand up to hospitals, insurance companies, and powerful healthcare providers to ensure patients and their families receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to act in accordance with accepted medical standards, resulting in injury or death to the patient. These errors are often preventable and can occur at any stage of treatment — from diagnosis to surgery to recovery.
Common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious illnesses
- Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients
- Anesthesia errors leading to brain damage or death
- Medication errors, including wrong prescriptions or dosages
- Birth injuries to infants or mothers
- Negligent hospital care, including infections or falls due to understaffing
- Failure to monitor vital signs or follow up on test results
If you or a loved one suffered harm because of medical negligence, you may have a right to file a claim and seek financial recovery.
Proving Medical Negligence
To prove medical malpractice in Pennsylvania, your attorney must establish:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed.
- The healthcare provider breached the standard of care.
- That breach caused injury or death.
- You suffered damages as a result, such as pain, medical bills, or loss of income.
Our Berks County medical malpractice lawyers work with respected medical experts to review your records, identify violations of medical standards, and present clear, credible evidence of negligence.
Common Injuries Caused by Medical Errors
Medical negligence can cause severe, life-changing injuries, including:
- Brain and spinal cord injuries
- Permanent disability or paralysis
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Infections and sepsis
- Stroke or heart complications
- Birth-related injuries like cerebral palsy
- Wrongful death
These injuries can affect your quality of life forever. Our firm’s mission is to ensure you receive the resources you need for long-term care, recovery, and stability.

- Past and future medical expenses
