Medical Malpractice

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the number of people dying from medical malpractice each year in the United States is growing. Medical malpractice deaths have become the third leading cause of death in the United States according to JAMA, after heart disease and cancer. Malpractice occurs frequently and patients are treated inadequately, especially in our nation's hospitals and emergency rooms.

 

Our firm excels in medical malpractice and other injury cases. Our New York medical malpractice attorneys have represented hundreds of clients who were hurt by negligent medical care. We have obtained hundreds of settlements in matters involving wrongful death, surgical malpractice, emergency room malpractice, pediatric malpractice, obstetrical malpractice and radiological malpractice. When a patient has a bad result from medical treatment there is a strong possibility that medical negligence is to blame. Our firm makes every attempt to answer all of our clients' questions regarding the medical treatment they received. If your problem was caused or exacerbated by the failure of a doctor to do something that a reasonably careful doctor would do, or would not do, given a patient’s condition, you may have a malpractice case.

Unfortunately, Sometimes Bad Things Happen To Good People
When medical negligence has occurred, a patient will sometimes receive the excuse that there has been a "complication," which can be nothing more than a cover-up for medical negligence. To determine whether or not you have a medical malpractice case, you need to consult with an experienced malpractice lawyer. Please consider consulting with us. We are experienced medical malpractice attorneys who can help you find out if you have a case and get you the compensation you deserve.

 

Over the years we have had landmark verdicts and recoveries including a $56 million verdict which was the largest medical malpractice verdict in the state and a $35 million verdict on behalf of a young girl who suffered brain damage because doctors did not provide timely treatment for high ammonia levels in her blood which was the largest national suburban verdict in history. We also obtained a $30 million verdict for delay in diagnosis of cervical cancer which remains the highest ever reported and a $14 million verdict for blindness caused by medical malpractice, another record verdict. For examples of other cases we have successfully prosecuted in such areas as hospital malpractice, cerebral palsy, delay in diagnosis of cancer and treatment, surgical error and wrongful death, please see our Notable Cases page.

 

Fees

Your first meeting with our firm is FREE to you. If we proceed with an investigation after the initial consultation, that investigation is also at no charge. We only get paid if we are able to obtain money for you. This is known as a contingency fee, which means you only pay a percentage of your award. Send us an instant e-mail and we will respond within 24 hours to let you know if we think you have a case. Our medical malpractice lawyers proudly represent clients throughout New York, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
