Medical Malpractice Attorneys in New York, NY

As medical malpractice attorneys, we can help you understand your legal options and fight for the compensation you deserve. We have practiced medical malpractice law for almost two decades, consistently achieving superior results. If you or a loved one has been injured due to medical negligence in New York, you may have a case for medical malpractice.

What We Do as Medical Malpractice Attorneys

We take on a variety of responsibilities to build a strong case on behalf of our injured clients. Our key duties include:

• Investigating claims of medical negligence and malpractice. We conduct in-depth reviews of your medical records, provider notes, and all other evidence to determine if malpractice occurred.
• Gathering evidence such as medical records and expert testimony. Medical experts are often needed to establish the proper standards of care that were violated. We can retain qualified experts.
• Determining if legal standards of care were breached. By comparing your treatment to recognized medical standards, we can establish if provider negligence occurred.
• Filing lawsuits against negligent healthcare providers. Once sufficient evidence is gathered, we can file a medical malpractice lawsuit on your behalf.
• Negotiating settlements with insurance companies. Most cases settle out of court. We can aggressively negotiate to maximize your compensation.
• Representing clients in court throughout the litigation process. If a fair settlement isn't reached, we will zealously represent you throughout the litigation and trial process.

Type of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

We have extensive experience handling a wide range of cases, including:

• Birth injuries like cerebral palsy due to doctor errors during labor and delivery.
• Surgical mistakes and complications, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving surgical tools inside a patient.
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious health conditions like cancer or meningitis.
• Medication errors and pharmacy mistakes that cause patient harm.
• Nursing home abuse and negligence resulting in bedsores, falls or other injuries.

The effects of medical negligence can be expensive and catastrophic. We are familiar with the complex legal and medical issues involved in proving these cases.

Our Fees

Most medical malpractice attorneys like us work on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are only paid if compensation is recovered in your case. The fee is typically 30% to 40% of the final settlement amount. You may be responsible for certain out of pocket costs like expert witness fees and filing fees. But if no recovery is obtained, you will owe nothing in legal fees.
