Injured because of a medical mistake or error?  Our attorneys can help you file a malpractice lawsuit

Each year, thousands of patients die due to medical malpractice. If your care resulted in permanent injury, you should speak with an attorney to find out about a potential lawsuit to seek compensation.

Our firm is dedicated to fighting for the rights of those who experienced medical malpractice. One such case involved a midwife’s failure to get a physician to perform a timely C-Section. This medical error resulted in severe damage to a young child.

In that suit, we obtained a verdict (the highest on record for Monroe County, New York in a medical malpractice case) that was settled on appeal for $5.8 million.

From negligent doctors and nurses to EMT workers, negligent care can occur in private practice settings, ambulances, hospitals, and other health care facilities.
