Disputes & Litigation
Medical Malpractice
Careful, well-supported claims for patients harmed by substandard medical care.
Overview
What this involves
When medical care falls below accepted standards and causes harm, the consequences can be life-changing. Medical malpractice cases are complex: they depend on detailed medical records and expert opinion, and New York imposes specific procedural requirements.
We review potential claims carefully with qualified medical input, give you an honest view of their merit, and pursue well-supported claims involving diagnostic errors, surgical mistakes, medication errors, birth injuries and other failures of care. Every case depends on its own facts, and no outcome can be guaranteed. We give you an honest assessment before you decide how to proceed.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is every bad outcome malpractice?
No. Medicine carries risks, and a poor outcome alone does not mean negligence. A claim requires showing that care fell below accepted standards and caused harm.
How long do I have to file?
Strict time limits apply, and they vary with the circumstances. Seek advice promptly.
Will you tell me honestly if I do not have a case?
Yes. We review each case carefully and will tell you plainly if we do not believe a claim is viable.
