New York City Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP — NYC, Long Island, Westchester County
It is not always easy to differentiate between medical malpractice and treatment that did not help a patient. The reason is that illness and disease are unpredictable. What is known is that not every cure benefits every patient. Some remedies are known to produce imperfect results, and even when everything that could have been done has been done right, the "wrong" outcome can still occur.
An experienced lawyer knows how to determine whether or not medical malpractice has occurred and how to prove it. Talk to one of those lawyers by contacting Greenstein & Milbauer today.
Our firm represents people throughout New York City, Long Island and Westchester County who have been harmed by incidents of medical or hospital malpractice involving:
- Failure to diagnose an illness or condition
- Subjecting a patient to unnecessary procedures
- Providing treatment without obtaining informed consent
- Nursing medication errors
- Pharmacy medication errors
- Not following up when medical tests warrant closer inspection
- Surgical errors
- Obstetric malpractice (failing to perform a C-Section, failure to diagnose fetal distress, etc.)
- Radiology mistakes
- Medical equipment failures
- Neglect of nursing home residents
- Unsanitary conditions, leading to infections
It is important to remember that medical malpractice has not occurred if you are merely unsatisfied with your treatment or the outcome. However, these are the types of errors most commonly seen in malpractice cases. To obtain financial compensation in a malpractice lawsuit, our attorneys will have to accomplish three things.
The first is to establish the existence of a patient-care provider relationship between you and the physician or facility in question. This is usually the easy part. The second element is proving that the physician violated the duty to provide reasonable care — this is more difficult. If this second requirement can be met, the third — proving that the doctor's or provider's negligence is what harmed you — generally follows.
Our lawyers know how to find facts that establish evidence of medical malpractice, and we have years of experience investigating these claims, handling insurance company negotiations and taking these cases to trial. However, we can't help when you don't act. Strict time limits govern when a claim can be filed to start a lawsuit.
