Addressing Surgical Errors And Medical Mistakes In New York

When physicians, doctors and surgeons perform surgical procedures, we expect them to be on top of their game, not to be distracted, fatigued or undertrained for the situation at hand.

Injuries And Wrongful Death At Out-Patient Facilities

Out-patient facilities, while they may look nice, tend not to have the same safety nets found at a hospital. They may lack the proper staff, training or equipment necessary to respond to an emergency, which can lead to catastrophic or even fatal injuries.

The lawyers at Paul B. Weitz & Associates, PC, have experience handling these specific types of medical malpractice claims and know the best strategies to hold physicians and medical professionals liable for their negligence.
