Every surgery poses at least minimal risk. But when a physician is negligent, commits medical malpractice, or fails to observe a standard code of safety, the patient’s risk of being the victim of a surgical mistake increases tenfold. Such medical malpractice mistakes can include amputating the wrong limb, not reading a patient’s medical chart before performing or recommending a procedure, leaving surgical tools inside the patient’s body, and using improper surgical tools to perform an operation. If you or a loved one has been injured during surgery because of negligence, contact our medical malpractice attorneys. Our lawyers in New York can help you determine if you have a substantiated lawsuit.

A revolutionary tool, anesthesia allows physicians to perform surgeries with little patient discomfort and for patients to undergo treatment that anxiety or fear of pain would have otherwise prevented. In most cases, anesthesia is considered quite safe because it is administered only by licensed professionals who have completed both medical school and extensive specialized training. But occasionally, accidents and medical malpractice occur. Patients might be given too large a dose of the drug – which can be toxic – or an unlicensed person might be allowed to administer the anesthesia, which is both illegal and dangerous. Sadly, it is our loved ones who pay the price for this carelessness. If you or a loved one has been harmed by an anesthesia accident, our medical malpractice lawyers can help.

Physicians and other medical professionals, all of whom have completed extensive training in their field of expertise, are expected to be able to reasonably diagnose a patient’s ailment, whether it is high cholesterol, artery blockage, cancer, or any other illness. Yet all too often, doctors fail to identify a health problem before it is too late – and as a result, patients need more radical treatment and sometimes, lose their lives. In other cases, physicians misdiagnose a condition or disease, putting the patient at grave risk. Both failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis are serious examples of medical malpractice and are punishable by law. If you have lost a loved one because of a medical professional’s negligent behavior, you need the assistance of our medical malpractice lawyers. Our attorneys in New York can help.
