Meet Your Medical Malpractice Attorney: Alexander Karasik, Esq.

Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. They require an attorney who can read medical records, work with expert physicians, and translate clinical failures into a legal narrative that proves negligence.

Alexander Karasik, Esq. has handled medical malpractice cases across New York for over 18 years. Our firm has recovered over $2 million for Brooklyn families harmed by preventable medical errors. We work with a network of independent medical professionals who review your records, identify where the standard of care was breached, and provide expert testimony when needed.

We handle cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, birth injuries, medication errors, emergency room negligence, and nursing home abuse. Every case begins with a thorough review of your medical records at no cost to you.

Medical Malpractice Case Results

• $2,200,000 for failure to diagnose brain bleed caused by embolization procedure, resulting in death
• $2,150,000 for failure to diagnose brain abscess, leading to brain surgery
• $750,000 for failure to diagnose lung cancer, leading to partial lung removal
• $750,000 for negligence by a nursing home/rehabilitation facility causing head trauma and death
• $500,000 for wrongful death of an 8 hour-old infant

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.

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.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a medical expert to prove malpractice occurred?

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.

If I signed a consent form, can I still sue for malpractice?

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.

Which Practice Area Fits Your Case?

Five common situations we evaluate at the first call.

• I was hurt in a car or rideshare crash in NYC.

  Car-crash cases run on New York’s no-fault rules first, with third-party claims for serious injury and uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) coverage when the at-fault driver has thin or no policy limits. See our Car Accident page.

• My crash was with a commercial truck or fleet vehicle.

  Truck cases are governed by federal and state safety regulations, and trucks carry much higher insurance limits, which often means larger recoveries for victims. The trucking company itself can also be held liable. See our Truck Accident page.

• I was hurt at work on a construction site (fall from a scaffold or ladder, falling object).

  Most on-the-job injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, but a height-related accident lets you sue the general contractor and property owner outside the WC system under New York Labor Law 240 and 241. See our Construction Accident page.

• My injury was not from a vehicle or a job site (slip and fall, dog bite, premises liability, wrongful death).

  Personal injury covers the full range of negligence claims in NY and NJ, including premises liability, slip and fall, dog bites, and wrongful-death cases. The duty-breach-causation-damages framework applies. See our Personal Injury page.

• None of these describe my situation.
