Did medical errors lead to the death of a loved one? Contact our malpractice attorneys.

Medical malpractice or medical negligence is when injury or death occurs as a direct result of the failure of a physician or other health care provider (hospital, nurse, obstetrician, nursing home, anesthesiologist, pharmacist) to properly treat a medical condition.

The injury or death caused by the negligence may be either a new condition or an aggravated injury to the patient.

If a loved one was the victim of medical malpractice such as failure to diagnose, or death due to substandard care, an attorney in our New York office can provide the experience, strategy and commitment to help you seek justice.
