Overview

Jessica Smeriglio concentrates her practice on general liability cases and medical malpractice cases, representing the region’s top healthcare systems and hospitals, construction companies and major universities. She has defended numerous cases involving construction site accidents, motor vehicle accidents, slip trip and fall accidents, assault and battery, and medical negligence claims in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Before joining the GMR team, Jessica worked as a commercial claims specialist at a major national insurance company for six years. Her insurance industry background includes investigating and evaluating coverage and liability issues for auto, premises, and general liability claims. This extensive insurance experience has provided Jessica with the unique ability to look at a case from a different perspective than the average defense attorney. As she has handled claims and lawsuits from both sides of the spectrum, she anticipates client needs, giving her an edge in the field. 

Jessica was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers every year since 2020. A Super Lawyers selection is an honor reserved for those attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice. Best Lawyers in America has also recognized her as one of their “Ones to Watch” every year since 2020.
