Adv. Amit Uria – Founder and Owner

Adv. Amit Uria, a graduate of the Hebrew University, has been practicing tort law in general and medical malpractice in particular for 25 years. His legal approach is driven by the aspiration to achieve optimal results for his client while mitigating risks, with the aim of improving the healthcare system and raising awareness to the patients’ rights.

Adv. Uria sees the broad implications of each case, and the way in which a ruling may affect not only his client, but also the general public. Adv. Uria believes that he has the ability to make a positive impact on the plaintiffs’ situation and obtain a compensation that would serve as an appropriate substitute to the physical harm that they sustained, and he prioritizes the clients benefit and obtaining maximal compensation for them above all else.

Furthermore, Adv. Uria realizes that the regulations and procedures that regulate the proper medical conduct would never have been set if medical malpractice cases would not have been discussed and ruled by the courts, and this is the source of the tremendous importance of medical malpractice lawsuits in the broad social sense, and the sense of mission that guides Adv. Uria in his practice.

In light of Adv. Uria belief, that medical malpractice, unlike a random complication, is a situation where the practitioner breached the reasonable and customary medical practice and procedures while taking into account the established knowledge and the professional guidance at the time. This isn’t hindsight, rather detecting cases where a breach was conducted in real time.

Most of the medical malpractice cases result not from a lack of knowledge, rather from an over-optimistic perspective of the physicians that postulates that the lighter diagnosis is the valid one which reflects the medical condition, without properly ruling out more severe diagnoses, that are those which require a faster diagnosis and quick treatment that may save the patient and prevent severe damage. For example, obstetrics may misdiagnose fetal distress that requires emergency C-section or a malign tumor because they don’t refer the patient to a more advanced imaging test. Therefore, Adv Uria believes that early detection is often lifesaving and guarantees the life quality in more and more types of cancer, while the lack of progress towards an accurate diagnosis constitutes medical malpractice.

Adv. Uria’s devotion and professionalism in handling complex cases creates client relationships which are based on trust and open communication, which in turn enable him to represent them in the best possible manner.
Adv. Uria’s goal is to achieve justice and a proper compensation for those who suffered a significant physical and mental damage, and he believes that morally and professionally, it is his duty to accompany such cases and represent the weaker and underprivileged party against the powerful medical establishment, in cases where people suffered a great injustice, and being justice to light. In light of this belief, he works to achieve optimal results for his clients in every case which is entrusted to him.
