New York Misdiagnosis Attorneys
Our firm provides the highest level of legal expertise for medical malpractice cases in New York. Our New York medical malpractice attorneys represent individuals and families of those injured or killed as a result of negligence committed by physicians and other health care providers. We handle cases involving birth injuries, delay in diagnosis of diseases and illnesses, misdiagnosis of diseases and illnesses, doctor and hospital malpractice, surgical errors, and failure to properly treat cerebral insults.
We have handled cases involving virtually every specialty in medicine including surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedics, cardiology, internal medicine, emergency medicine, infectious disease, and hematology. Three of our attorneys work full-time on medical malpractice cases assisted by a medically trained paralegal.
Many of our clients have sustained catastrophic injuries and will require support for the rest of their lives. We assist them in setting up financial resources and dealing with governmental agencies such as Medicaid and Medicare in order to preserve their entitlements to these benefits, despite obtaining substantial recoveries.
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 performing a diagnostic test and discontinuance of Heparin, a drug that prevents blood clotting. Following his stroke, 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.
