Types of Medical Malpractice Cases in Brooklyn.

Surgical errors.

Wrong-site surgery, retained surgical instruments, nerve damage during procedures, and anesthesia mistakes. These cases often involve clear deviations from surgical protocols that can be documented through operative reports.

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis.

When a doctor fails to identify a condition like cancer, heart disease, or stroke in time, the delay can mean the difference between a treatable condition and a fatal one. Our firm has recovered millions for families affected by diagnostic failures.

Birth injuries.

Injuries to the mother or child during labor and delivery, including cerebral palsy caused by oxygen deprivation, Erb's palsy from improper delivery technique, and injuries from delayed or unnecessary C-sections.

Emergency room negligence.

Premature discharge, failure to order necessary tests, and misreading of diagnostic imaging in high-pressure ER environments.

Medication errors.

Wrong medication, incorrect dosage, dangerous drug interactions, and pharmacy dispensing errors that cause serious adverse reactions.

10

Additional
Frequently Asked
Questions.

Yes. New York law requires a Certificate of Merit from a qualified medical professional before a malpractice case can proceed. This expert must confirm that your case has reasonable basis and that the provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. Our firm covers the cost of these expert reviews.

Signing a consent form does not protect a doctor from liability for negligent treatment. Consent forms acknowledge the known risks of a procedure. They do not give a doctor permission to perform the procedure carelessly, use the wrong technique, or fail to monitor you properly afterward.
