If you have been injured by medical negligence, you’re not alone. Despite many advancements in medical science, hundreds of thousands of people in the United States die each year as a result of medical negligence. That death toll equates to roughly 10 percent of the total deaths in United States annually.
In 2014, the Journal of Patient Safety estimated that over 440,000 Americans die each year from preventable medical errors. Sadly, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has concluded that medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.—right behind heart disease and cancer.
Medical malpractice occurs in many different forms and can result in injuries that are significant and often catastrophic. Our lawyers have extensive experience representing clients affected by a wide range of medical malpractice in New York including:
When you or a loved one has been severely injured as a result of medical malpractice, expenses can quickly mount. If a lifetime of care is required, families can become overwhelmed both emotionally and financially. Although healthcare programs often remain in place for victims, they usually provide only very basic care.
The costs of more “advanced” care tend to fall on the victim or his or her family. For this reason, every person who has been injured as a result of medical malpractice deserves compensation from those who are responsible. We will work to identify all parties at fault and pursue the appropriate legal action against each and every person or entity who caused the harm.
Malpractice actions are extremely complex, but we have a proven record of success in this area of the law. Visit our recent results page to see some examples of the results we’ve obtained for our clients.
If you or a loved one has been injured, you may be entitled to compensation for damages, including:
Imagine taking a loved one to a medical appointment for a simple procedure only to find they were given the incorrect dosage of medication and died as a result. This is only one example of the sorts of negligent medical care our clients call us about each and every day.
In many cases of malpractice, the patient survives, but he or she must endure lifelong health problems as a result of a medical error. This can happen anytime a person undergoes a medical procedure or is administered even the most routine tests. What makes this dynamic most disturbing is that the majority of these deaths and injuries are entirely preventable.
Most people assume that only doctors and hospitals can be held accountable for medical negligence. In fact, any healthcare provider — from the person wheeling the patient into the emergency room to the pharmacist filling a prescription — can be held liable for malpractice.
Victims of medical malpractice need to feel confident that all parties responsible for their injuries are held accountable and that their lawyers will get them the compensation they deserve. We work diligently to identify those responsible individuals and entities and pursue compensation from all.
We have consistently obtained multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements for our clients injured by medical negligence. We work to ensure that you’ll be compensated for your pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.
Some people have fallen victim to the drumbeat of insurance lobbyists and believe there should be a cap on medical malpractice damages and judgments. However, it is safe to assume that these very same “tort reform” lobbyists have never themselves suffered from this type of injury or had a family member injured or killed because of medical negligence.
When a person is injured through no fault of their own while under the care of a trusted healthcare provider, the responsible party must be held accountable. We ensure they are. Contact us today to discuss your case. We will evaluate all of the facts and tell you the best course of action for your particular situation.
