NY & NJ Medical Malpractice Lawyer
We handle the fight. You heal. Free consultation—no fee unless we win.
Doctors, nurses, and hospitals owe patients a duty to provide care that meets accepted medical standards. When they fall short, the consequences can be life-changing. Victims may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in tragic cases, wrongful death. Quick action is critical: New York and New Jersey impose strict deadlines for malpractice claims, including notice requirements when public hospitals are involved.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
Surgical Errors
Wrong-site surgery, retained sponges or instruments, anesthesia mistakes, infections from unsterile equipment.

Failure to diagnose serious conditions, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, incorrect lab or imaging interpretation.

Medication errors, patient falls, improper monitoring, pressure sores, negligent post-operative care.

Wrongful Death
When malpractice causes loss of life, surviving families may pursue damages for financial and emotional harm.
How We Prove Medical Malpractice Cases
These cases require more than showing an injury. We work with qualified medical experts to establish:
- The accepted standard of care in the relevant specialty.
- How the provider deviated from that standard.
- How the deviation directly caused the patient’s injury.
We secure medical records, hospital policies, expert reviews, and testimony to build a strong case.
Compensation in Medical Malpractice Cases
- Medical expenses and cost of future care
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
