How Can Our Manhattan Medical Malpractice Attorneys Help With Your Case?
Victims of medical malpractice deserve care and attention, and we’re here to provide you with that. Our Manhattan medical malpractice lawyers are here to help you in such cases as:
- Medication errors: Mistakes in prescribing or filling a prescription can have serious consequences.
- Emergency room errors: Emergency room mistakes are especially devastating because they come during a separate medical crisis.
- Surgical errors: Going into surgery is meant to improve your health, not be the cause of additional suffering.
- Birth injuries: Birth injuries are a serious matter that can affect you and your baby’s life forever.
- Misdiagnosis: A failure to diagnose cancer or any other serious illness delays treatment and causes suffering.
- Anesthesia errors: Over or under medicating in anesthesia can lead to significant pain or long-term medical consequences.
In every aspect of your case, we provide aggressive advocacy and dedicated service to address the wrongs you’ve suffered.
What Does “Standard Of Care” Mean In A Manhattan Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
A standard of care is a reasonable measure that a trained medical professional should treat patients with. In medical malpractice lawsuits, almost all cases hinge on the fact that your doctor, nurse, physical therapist or surgeon did not exercise the elevated duty to care that their training demands.
Examples can include missing an obvious symptom or not disposing of contaminated equipment properly.
Who Can You Sue For Medical Malpractice In Manhattan?
You can sue any doctor or other medical professional who made mistake in your care, as well as the facility where they practice.
If You Received A Settlement Offer, Is It Still Worth Hiring A Manhattan Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Getting an initial settlement is often the first step. Insurance companies who cover medical practices often try to “lowball” people seeking damages to pay as little as possible. A Manhattan medical malpractice attorney working hard on your case can increase your potential compensation.
