Erica Moskowitz
Associate | Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Litigation
Where most litigators bring the law to medicine, Erica Moskowitz brings medicine to the law. A litigator of exceptional depth, she has built her practice on the conviction that justice in medicine-related cases demands not merely legal acuity but a mastery of the science itself—an ability to render the arcane language of pathology, pharmacology, and the standard of care into narratives that resonate with precision and moral clarity before a jury.
That mastery has been tested and validated at the highest levels of trial practice. In the demanding arena of medical litigation, Ms. Moskowitz stands apart—not merely as a skilled advocate, but as an attorney who has made clinical mastery the foundation of her courtroom identity. She has served as one of the lead attorneys on three separate cases that resulted in eight-figure jury verdicts—outcomes achieved through the collective force of a trial team she helped anchor, and a testament to the kind of litigation intelligence that cannot be manufactured in a seminar room.

Medical Analysis as a Litigation Weapon
Erica Moskowitz has built her practice on a premise that sounds simple but proves elusive in execution: that winning medicine cases requires understanding medicine. Where others see a chart, she sees a narrative of institutional failure—a chronicle of missed signals, suppressed documentation, and care withheld. Her analysis of clinical evidence is regarded by colleagues as genuinely cutting-edge: she routinely identifies deviations from the standard of care that elude less experienced attorneys, and she possesses the forensic instinct to translate those deviations into compelling frameworks for causation and damages. Expert witnesses—physicians, nurses, and specialists alike—consistently cite her as among the most medically literate attorneys with whom they have worked.
Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Litigation
Ms. Moskowitz concentrates her practice in two of the most demanding and consequential arenas of plaintiff-side tort law. In medical malpractice, she represents patients and families harmed by surgical errors, diagnostic failures, birth injuries, anesthesia complications, and systemic lapses in hospital care. In nursing home litigation, she is a tireless advocate for vulnerable elderly residents subjected to neglect, abuse, pressure injury, medication mismanagement, and the institutional indifference that too often defines the long-term care environment. She understands that these cases are, at their core, about dignity—and she litigates them accordingly.
Litigation Intelligence & Strategic Vision
Some attorneys learn enough medicine to try a case. Ms. Moskowitz has learned enough to try it better than almost anyone. Her litigation IQ manifests not only in her mastery of medicine but in the full arc of case strategy—from the initial intake through discovery, motion practice, and the theater of trial. She understands how defense counsel thinks before they have finished thinking it, and she structures her cases to foreclose their strongest arguments while amplifying her own. Her cross-examinations of defense medical experts are known for their discipline and lethality: calibrated, unhurried, and precisely aimed at the contradictions embedded in institutional medicine’s self-serving narratives.
Beyond the Courtroom
Outside the firm, Ms. Moskowitz is as committed to cultivation in its most literal sense. An avid gardener, she finds in the act of tending the earth the same patience and attentiveness that define her legal work—an understanding that careful preparation, not haste, produces the most enduring results. She is also a devoted patron of Brooklyn’s independent business community, championing the neighborhood entrepreneurs and small-batch makers who give the borough its distinctive and irreplaceable character. In a legal culture that can feel abstracted from the rhythms of everyday life, she remains deeply grounded in her community.
To be represented by Erica Moskowitz is to have, in your corner, an attorney who will not be outworked, will not be outthought, and will not rest until the record of what happened to you has been heard in full.
