Overview

Virginia Graziani Lowe is a trial attorney and physician who is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with specialty interests in spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and other neurologic disorders. She has represented and successfully advocated for clients in a wide range of medical malpractice claims resulting in multimillion dollar awards, including birth injuries from cerebral palsy, wrongful death due to medical malpractice, delayed cancer diagnoses, mismanagement of pregnancy resulting in stillbirth, missed spinal epidural abscess resulting in paralysis and death, blindness caused by missed retinopathy, retained foreign objects, adverse drug reactions, and injuries due to defective medical products.

Virginia has been a practicing physician for more than 30 years. As a physician, she noticed the detrimental effects of increasingly stringent insurance restrictions on patients’ access to medical care. Deciding that patients needed an advocate, she earned a law degree, graduating cum laude with a Juris Doctorate from Temple University’s James E. Beasley School of Law. Not satisfied with two advanced degrees, Virginia wanted to ensure that she gained as much training as possible to effectively represent her legal clients. She applied and was accepted into the prestigious LL.M. in Trial Advocacy program at Temple University James E. Beasley School of Law, graduating with honors.

Virginia is a sought-after expert in the medical and legal aspects of medical malpractice and catastrophic injuries. She is an Adjunct Professor at Temple University James E. Beasley School of Law, where she co-teaches “Anatomy for Litigators” and also co-instructs the award-winning Continuing Legal Education Series “Medicine and the Law” for attorneys. She has presented at numerous legal conferences in a variety of programs including “The Catastrophic Injury Case: Quadriplegia, Paraplegia, and Spinal Injury Cases,” “Anatomy of a Spinal Injury — Injuries to the Brain and Spine: A Medical and Legal Primer,” “The Pathophysiology of Pain — The Pain Puzzle: Putting the Pieces Together,” “Spinal Cord: Catastrophic Injuries,” and “The Medical Examination: Diagnostic Medicine.” Virginia has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed medical journals and contributed to many books. She received a Clinical Investigator Development Award from the National Institutes of Health for research on rehabilitation after spinal cord injury.

Virginia earned her M.D. from Jefferson Medical College, where she was elected to membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. She earned her B.A. in Biology magna cum laude from La Salle University.

Virginia is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

When not advocating for clients and patients, writing or teaching, Virginia enjoys golfing with her family.
