New York HMO Accident Attorneys

The New York HMO malpractice attorneys at our firm provide the highest level of legal expertise for HMO (Health Maintenance Organizations) cases in New York. Our Medical Malpractice attorneys represent individuals and families of those injured or killed as a result of negligence committed by HMO's, by physicians and other health care providers. We handle cases involving birth injuries, delay in diagnosis of cancer, doctor and hospital malpractice, surgical errors, and strokes.

Our New York personal injury law firm handles a relatively small number of cases, which allows us to concentrate our efforts on each case. Many of our clients have sustained catastrophic injuries and will require support for the rest of their lives. We also handle cases on behalf of families whose loved ones have died wrongfully as a result of HMO malpractice.

In one case our firm obtained an $8.5 million verdict for a 62 year-old man who suffered a stroke following a delay in surgery and discontinuance of his prescription of Heparin, a drug that prevents blood clotting. Following his stroke, which could have been avoided with timely surgery, the plaintiff was confined to a wheelchair and was left virtually unable to speak. With the subsequent settlement proceeds, the plaintiff bought a new home designed and equipped specifically to enable him to care for himself. This was one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts ever in Westchester County.
