Biography
Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Attorney Bernard Rizza.
Bernie was born, raised and has practiced his entire legal career in Pittsburgh even though that career has taken him to many other Counties within Pennsylvania as well as other States representing his clients. Bernie has recovered millions of dollars for these clients in pursuing their medical malpractice cases.
Bernie knows that clients need to be utterly comfortable with the lawyer they choose given the importance of their matter including their desire to obtain full, fair and fast justice for the tragedy they or their loved ones suffered at the hands of bad medicine which has become more about profits than professionalism lately.
Bernie understands the importance to clients of having a very personal and trusting relationship with their lawyer and he works tirelessly to provide that given the solemn nature of their case.
Bernie has tried over 100 medical malpractice cases to verdict as he is not afraid to take case to trial when the other side is unreasonable and unfair. Many more have settled before trial. He has worked on cases in just about every specialty within medicine from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between.
