Boston Medical Malpractice Firm Targets NH

Lubin & Meyer, well known as "Boston's Best" medical malpractice law firm, has long provided counsel to victims of medical negligence and catastrophic personal injuries throughout the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. But not everyone knows that. So the firm is looking to raise awareness of its services to residents of NH with the launch of a new web site focused on specifically on New Hampshire medical malpractice law and to correct the perception that they are a Massachusetts only law firm.

In fact, Lubin & Meyer attorneys have been exercising their medical malpractice litigation muscles in NH resulting in many of the granite state's most significant verdicts and settlements. These include a verdict in Merrimack County for $1,950,000.00 w/interest for inadequate monitoring during surgery resulting in a NH man's loss of vision and blindness and a Strafford County settlement for $2,250,000.00 for improper resuscitation at birth resulting in baby's brain injury.
