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 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.

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

Most families know something went wrong long before they can explain why. Some have already been turned away by a firm that asked them to gather records and then said no without ever sitting down to read them. That is the part Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles differently. The review of your medical records happens first and at no cost to you. Alexander Karasik, Esq. works with a network of independent physicians, outside the hospital that treated you, who read those records and pinpoint where the standard of care was breached. New York requires that physician sign a Certificate of Merit before the case proceeds, and the firm covers the cost of that review. You do not need the medical answer before you call. You need someone who will actually look.

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.

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.
