PHILADELPHIA, PA: Attorney Eric H. Weitz, of the Philadelphia law firm Weitz Garfinkle Datz, LLC, is a featured columnist in this month’s Trial Magazine, the American Association for Justice’s monthly publication. Mr. Weitz’s column discusses jurors’ reptilian response, or R-complex, in deciding medical malpractice or patient safety cases.
Mr. Weitz is an experienced trial attorney who concentrates his practice upon representing victims of catastrophic injuries arising out of medical malpractice. His column, “Rules and Reptiles in Med-Mal Trials,” discusses the reptilian response, or R-complex, which focuses jurors’ minds on those threats to someone’s safety. He acknowledges that physicians and hospitals have been appealing to jurors’ fears for years, gaining an unfair advantage in defending unsafe practices. Mr. Weitz explains how plaintiffs’ attorneys can inspire jurors to overcome their fear of imposing verdicts against physicians and hospitals, which many defense attorneys imply will cause a collapse of our health care system.
In addition to medical malpractice, Mr. Weitz also represents individuals and companies in a wide variety of complex trial matters, including victims of traumatic brain injury and those who have claims against insurance companies. He also routinely dedicates a large portion of his practice to handling claims on behalf of catastrophically injured victims.
Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Weitz Garfinkle Datz, LLC provides strategic and legal counsel nationally to those with cases as a result of catastrophic injury, construction site and workplace injuries, consumer claims and business torts, insurance bad faith, premises liability, commercial litigation and healthcare litigation.
