Hospital Medical Malpractice

 

“Of special consideration is the fact that SILBERSTEIN, AWAD & MIKLOS, P.C., was willing to continue with this case after several attempts…were unfavorable to proceeding. But for their determination and perseverance, it may have come to pass that Latasha would not have received one dollar of compensation for her lifetime disabilities.” — S.W.

 

A Harvard University study reported that 120,000 patients were injured and 7,000 died in one year in New York hospitals from medical malpractice.

 

A hospital has a duty to use reasonable care in hiring and supervising its employees, including doctors, interns, residents and such non-physician personnel as nurses, technicians and aides. A doctor, nurse or other health care provider at a hospital commits malpractice or negligence by failing to do something that a reasonably careful doctor, nurse or health care provider would do or would NOT do -- given the circumstances of the patient's medical condition.

 

Unfortunately, Sometimes Bad Things Happen To Good People
When a patient has a bad result from treatment by a hospital, there is a strong possibility that a mistake or negligence caused the problem. A patient will sometimes receive the excuse that there has been a "complication," which can be nothing more than a cover-up of hospital negligence.

 

If you have questions about the medical care you received while at a hospital, our medical malpractice lawyers can help. We have represented hundreds of hospital patients who did not receive proper and timely medical care during their hospitalization.

We recovered a settlement of $3.25 million against Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and certain physicians who practiced there on behalf of the family of a woman who died at the hospital after giving birth. The patient developed a complicated blood disorder and the doctors and hospital were negligent in stopping treatment too soon and allowing her to bleed to death.

 

Our medical malpractice attorneys obtained a $4 million verdict for two young daughters who lost their mother as a result of a medication overdose by Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn. The hospital also failed to properly and timely treat the patient for asthma.
