Do You Need a New York Physician Malpractice Attorney?
When doctors, nurses, hospitals and clinics make mistakes, patients can suffer needlessly. Every year, preventable medical errors are the cause of serious injuries, wrongful deaths and tremendous heartache and suffering.
If you were injured or if a family member suffered a wrongful death due to a medical mistake, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your losses. The attorneys of DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, LLP, can review your case and advise you of your options. We represent clients in a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including those involving:
- Emergency room error: including failure to diagnose a heart attack or pulmonary embolism
- Surgical errors: including wrong procedure, wrong site, anesthesia errors, perforation of organs and instruments left behind
- Medication and prescription errors: such as dispensing the wrong prescription or wrong dose, or failure to check for drug interactions or allergies
- Birth injuries: including shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injuries and cerebral palsy
- Wrong diagnosis: including failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of breast cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer
- Nursing home abuse or neglect: including injuries due to wandering, assault, sexual assault and failure to prevent malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores or falls
Not every bad outcome is a case of malpractice. For medical malpractice to occur, we must prove that:
- The health care provider failed to follow established standards of care.
- The patient suffered serious, permanent harm because of this error.
Every medical malpractice claim must be reviewed by a medical professional in the same specialty as the professional accused of malpractice who must be of the opinion that malpractice did indeed occur.
