Medical Error
The medical profession is one of the most difficult to break into due to the extensive education, hours, and training required for doctors, nurses, techs, and other positions. Even with all of the technology and hours of training available, mistakes still occur in hospitals, labs, and medical offices throughout Pittsburgh, PA, and the rest of the country. Medical errors are typically viewed as negligent actions by medical professionals, such as doctors or nurses, especially since these professionals are held to such high standards when administering care to patients. Medical errors and negligence can lead to serious injuries and even death for patients. If you or a loved one suffered a serious illness or injury due to a medical mistake, contact an experienced Pittsburgh medical error lawyer at Matzus Law, LLC today for a free consultation about your legal claim.

“He’s Brilliant. Jason Matzus is a lawyer you thank God is on your side. He led my brother and I through one of the most painful times in our lives with great kindness. … at a time it was hard to trust. Jason, we trusted completely to represent our father. Jason’s intuition and command of voluminous details was immaculate. His direction impeccable. John Adams (founding father) stated, ‘Facts are stubborn things.’ Jason was able to take the facts and handle the absurd. He choreographed the case so it was piercingly true and definitive, and could no longer be manipulated. From the very beginning till the very end. Our father found Jason, and we could not have been prouder or more relieved to have been represented by him. Jason made sure that by the end of the case, people knew our father…not as an old man, but instead a vibrant, youthful, well-respected, uniquely-creative, and deeply, deeply loved man. Jason’s talent is beyond. He is outstanding. The Jaffe family is forever grateful for him.”
“I am so grateful for Matzus Law, LLC. Jason worked very hard for my children and me. When our world was turned upside down, Jason was caring and compassionate as he worked nonstop to help us through a very difficult time. Throughout my experience, Jason made sure I understood every detail and helped me make the best decisions for myself and my children. Once our fight began, Jason became a courtroom gladiator; fighting for me and my children. I will be forever grateful for all that Matzus Law has done for me. Jason and his legal team have given my children a legacy from their late dad, that they otherwise would not have.”
“I am so thankful that God directed us to Matzus Law after our car accident. We were told by one firm that our case was not worth what we owed in medical bills. We disagreed and so did Jason. He and his staff did an excellent job fighting for us! We highly recommend Matzus Law, LLC!”
“Jason Matzus is a wonderful attorney. I was very apprehensive of the process and Jason explained it very clearly and was there to guide me and answer questions…every step of the way. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable, but also down to earth. He was extremely patient, as I was very nervous throughout the process. He was calming and informed me of the next steps in the process. I am so glad that Jason was my attorney. I am pleased with the results of the case. I really believe he is the best.”
