About Lynne

As a supervising attorney for the Healthcare Liability Practice Group, Lynne coordinates and oversees the work of four healthcare liability attorneys who handle cases throughout eight New Jersey counties. Lynne's role is vital to ensuring that client matters are handled promptly, professionally, and effectively.

A trial attorney for 19 years, Lynne has litigated hundreds of cases in the state courts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She has provided legal counsel to physicians, hospitals, nurses, allied health professionals, dentists, nursing homes and physician practices.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Sargents College of Allied Health Professionals at Boston University in 1985, and completing internships at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Eugenia Hospital, Lynne became a licensed Occupational Therapist. Lynne later enrolled at Temple University School of Law to pursue a career that combined her health care education with the practice of law.

Lynne has spent her career defending practitioners and facilities in the healthcare industry.

Significant Representative Matters

  • Represented general surgeon called in to perform emergency laparoscopic appendectomy. Five days after uneventful surgery and discharge, plaintiff is transported via medivac to a tertiary care facility for an emergent splenectomy. Defense successfully utilized literature and expert testimony both on direct and cross examination that, however rare, splenic injury can occur after laparoscopic procedure due to the insufflation of the abdomen in the presence of adhesions. Jury returned a verdict for the defense.

  • Represented mental health institution whereby a depressed and bipolar 28-year-old father and husband was receiving out patient treatment when he locked himself in his truck, covered himself with gasoline and struck a match, only to survive. Plaintiff suffered second and third degree burns over more than 70% of his body. He lived severely disfigured with no facial features and no arms below the elbows. Plaintiff claimed defendant facility failed to recognize plaintiff's suicide risk and was ill-equipped to handle patients with a dual diagnosis. Successfully defended at mediation.

  • Jury returned a defense verdict for general surgeon who took an 89-year-old to surgery for treatment of diverticulitis and made the medical judgment not to remove the affected colon once the patient's vital signs took a turn for the worse during surgery. Decision to get the patient out of surgery and treat with antibiotics was not successful as the patient died within 48 hours. Defense convinced the jury that the surgeon was not negligent, rather, he exercised medical judgment in making this decision.

  • Defendant hospital granted summary judgment in a case where it was alleged the hospital failed to provide an appropriate and complete background check subsequent to employing a nurse who was later accused of killing patients within the institution. Claims dismissed on jurisdiction and lack of patient-physician relationship.
