New York Wrongful Death Lawyers
A study published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found that medical errors occur in the cases of nearly four out of every 100 patients that visit New York hospitals. When the medical professionals who are supposed to provide care actually cause harm, patients have a right to be made whole again. They have a right to compensation.

Medical professionals rarely admit their errors. In a complex case, identifying what errors were made can be quite difficult. We work with leading medical experts to demonstrate the level of medical care that is considered standard and reasonable, and to show how the care our clients received was improper.
Our attorneys can and have pursued medical malpractice claims against surgeons, anesthesiologists, orthopedists, obstetricians, gynecologists, radiologists and other specialists, as well as general practice physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and the hospitals where the malpractice occurred. We have obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients in a wide range of medical negligence and hospital malpractice litigation:
- Birth injuries causing brain damage, cerebral palsy, and infant death
- Failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis of cancer, heart attacks, strokes and other illnesses
- Emergency room errors and failure to treat
- Failure to provide prompt and proper treatment
- Pharmacy errors, wrong drugs prescribed, wrong dosages prescribed, and failure to monitor patients after giving a drug
- Patient abandonment
- Surgical errors and anesthesia errors
Sample Medical Malpractice Case Results
$3 Million settlement for medical malpractice for 48-year old man who underwent routine blood tests that showed moderately elevated PSA levels, which are an early sign of prostrate cancer. However, his physician failed to inform him and did nothing for 1-1/2 years until the PSA levels had doubled and the prostrate cancer had spread, thereby reducing his opportunity for a favorable outcome and requiring him to undergo radical prostatectomy, radiation and chemotherapy.
$3 Million settlement during trial for catastrophic injuries for medical malpractice for 73-year old patient who was undergoing routine bypass surgery but was given blood transfusion with the wrong blood type, and suffered renal failure and below-knee leg amputation.
$1.75 million settlement in a medical malpractice case for a woman who suffered glomerulonephritis.
