Medical Malpractice Attorneys in New York

Medical malpractice is a complex field. The injured party must prove that the doctor or hospital did not follow proper medical procedures and practices to win a medical malpractice case. Though this may sound simple, it is tough to prove.

As a defense, doctors may claim that the injuries were a result of:

  • An accepted and known risk
  • An unforeseen and unavoidable consequence
  • Something the patient did or did not do

Call us today at (212) 732-2929 to learn more about your case and options in a 
free evaluation. You pay nothing unless we win your case.

Compensation You Can Receive for Medical Malpractice

After suffering injuries or illnesses due to medical malpractice, you may stand to receive compensation from a liable party. We can calculate both your economic and non-economic damages to ensure you seek a fair settlement.

Potential compensation may include:

  • Pain and suffering damages for all physical and emotional injuries
  • Medical expenses to address the original medical issue your doctor failed to properly treat
  • Medical expenses to address any injury, illness, or complication that arose due to improper treatment
  • Lost wages if your injuries kept you from working
  • Reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working (or working in the same capacity you once did)
  • Loss of quality of life if you cannot engage in the activities you once enjoyed

We will carefully assess your damages after a thorough review of all the facts and circumstances of your injuries and their effects on your life.

Medical Malpractice That Resulted in a Wrongful Death

If medical malpractice led to your loved one’s passing, we can also pursue a settlement or court-awarded offer for their wrongful death. 

When we calculate your losses, we will consider:

  • Your loved one’s pain and suffering before their passing
  • Your loved one’s medical bills, both for their original medical issue and any additional injuries that resulted from medical malpractice
  • Loss of inheritance for the income your loved one would have provided the family
  • Loss of consortium for the emotional comfort your loved one provided
  • When we handle your case, you can grieve in peace while we handle the legal process.

Unfortunately, based on your query, we are unable to assist you at this time. Our firm specializes in serious accidents and negligence cases, such as car accidents, slips and falls, construction accidents, and other accidents that require hospitalization or ongoing treatment.

Proving the Negligence of a Medical Professional Can Be Complicated

Pursuing compensation in a medical malpractice case involves proving the medical professional acted in a way that another professional would not have and those actions have caused you physical and emotional harm. This may relate to several stages of your care.

The following examples demonstrate the ways in which medical malpractice may occur:

  • A medical professional fails to diagnose your condition, which leads to the condition worsening
  • A medical professional misdiagnosis your condition, leading to new injuries or illnesses
  • A surgeon leaves surgical tools in your body
  • A surgeon operates on the wrong side of your body
  • A medical professional fails to prescribe the proper dosage of medication when treating your condition
  • A medical professional fails to consider your medical history, such as pre-existing conditions, when treating your illness
  • A medical professional fails to inform you on how to take your medication or follow your treatment plan
  • A medical professional treats you while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, we work closely with doctors and nurses who review the facts and medical records to provide expert medical analysis that may prove you were the victim of malpractice. We also have access to an enormous network of the most respected medical experts in the country to help prepare the case for trial.

Potentially Liable Parties You Can Include in Your Claim

A medical malpractice case may involve various liable parties, and we can work to identify who is responsible for your injuries. 

Examples of at-fault medical professionals include:

  • Doctors
  • Nurses
  • Pharmacists
  • Psychiatrists
  • Surgeons
  • Medical assistants
  • Nurse practitioners
  • Dentists

You can be injured as a result of these types of behaviors as a driver, passenger, taxi customer, pedestrian, bicyclist, or Uber or Lyft rideshare customer.

En uno de los casos más trágicos que ha visto esta oficina, dos madres y sus cuatro adolescentes conducían a una reunión de natación de la escuela secundaria en el New York State Thruway en una camioneta.

Baby S was born with a congenital hip dislocation which was not anyone’s fault. However, malpractice occurred when the doctors and hospital did not recognize the condition after she was born. Their failure to diagnose and properly treat the condition resulted in a slight but permanent deformity.
Julio, 16, was an outpatient at the Manhattan Children’s Psychiatric Hospital where he attended school and got psychiatric counseling and supportive therapy every day. The NYC Board of Ed operated the school. One day after school, Julio ran after his bus, which was leaving without him. He slipped and was run over by the back wheels, sustaining severe injuries, including bilateral hip fractures and a shearing injury to his buttocks. Board of Ed rules required that Julio was to be escorted to the bus. The NYCTA denied liability, claiming they weren’t negligent because Julio ran after the bus. The City denied liability because they claimed the school day was over. At trial, both the Board of Ed who had knowledge of Julio’s poor impulse control and was required to put him safely on the bus, and the NYCTA whose bus driver saw Julio running and made no effort to slow or stop the bus were found to be responsible.
Baby Taylor C. – Taylor’s mother had gained over 50 pounds during the pregnancy, was past due, and had a prolonged first stage and second stage of delivery. These are warning signs of an overly large baby. Baby Taylor was 9 lbs. 13 oz. Instead of delivery by C-section, which was clearly indicated, the attending physician elected a natural birth. When the baby was stuck in the pelvic area, excessive force was used to pull her out, injuring the nerves in her neck and causing partial paralysis of her left arm. The condition is known as Erbs Palsy. The case was settled during the trial. Fortunately, Baby Taylor’s injury improved over time.
Ayisha W- A young girl slid down a sliding pond in the playground of an NYC school. The slide was not installed properly and there was a gap between the metal on the side of the slide. As Ayisha slid down, her ring finger went into the gap and the top of it was cut off. The City argued that since it was just the tip of her finger it was not worth much money. At trial, it was proved that Ayisha had a devastating emotional reaction that affected every aspect of her life and self-esteem. The jury agreed.
A 46-year-old carpenter was working on a straight ladder which had been leaned against the wall on a jobsite. He fell when the ladder slipped away from the wall. As a result, he suffered facial injuries and a fractured knee that required surgery. The property owner and general contractor were found to be responsible because Jian S. should have been provided with a more suitable A-frame ladder or scaffolding.
A 30-year-old carpenter who was working at a job site in a retail store fell from a ladder onto both feet. He suffered bilateral calcaneus fractures requiring multiple surgeries.
An undocumented Mexican immigrant working on scaffolding at a construction site fell 30 feet onto the cement. He fractured his skull and vertebrae in his neck and back. It was shown at trial that the company he worked for failed to provide him with a safety line, which would have prevented his fall.
Following a 4- story fall, a construction worker at a West 17th Street construction site in Manhattan recently won a $5.5 million dollar settlement from the general contractor and building owner for failing to provide him with a safe workplace. Defendants had argued that the fall was the result of the 56 year old construction worker’s own carelessness but Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP lawyers were able to prove otherwise. As a result of his fall, the construction worker suffered fractures of his shoulder, clavicle, ribs and hip, as well as internal injuries which required multiple surgeries. These injuries required home care which was primarily provided by his wife who also received a payment of $500,000 as part of the settlement. To minimize their own responsibility, the general contractor and building owner claimed that the worker had made an excellent recovery when he had not. In order to prove the case, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP retained 5 separate experts to illustrate the full extent of the worker’s injuries and the disabling effect they would have over the course of his life.
Maria, a housekeeper, was walking across Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn in the crosswalk when she was struck by a school bus and thrown over 25 feet. She sustained severe injuries, including multiple fractures. The bus driver claimed that he had a green light and was travelling at a safe speed. Unfortunately, Mrs. S. could not recall any of the facts of the accident. Our investigator combed the area for witnesses. He found a woman who lived on the sixth floor of an adjacent apartment building. Although she didn’t see the accident, she happened to look out her window and saw Maria’s body lying in the roadway down the street. Using this testimony, our accident reconstruction expert was able to prove that the bus had to be speeding to knock Maria that far from the crosswalk. The case was settled immediately after that testimony.
Our client was a married NYC Parks Department employee. On a snowy night in Staten Island, he was preparing his truck to spread salt on the roadways. He drove the spreader truck to the salt storage yard. As he waited alongside his truck, the operator of a front loader truck used to place the salt in the spreader lost control of the loading bucket. Sadly, he was struck by the bucket, suffered massive injuries and died in the hospital several hours later.
A 21-year-old developmentally disabled Chinese boy was walking with some friends after school when he stepped out into the crosswalk against the light and a City bus which was turning a little too close to the corner struck him. The young man had crippling injuries which prevented him from leaving the hospital where he died several months later. Despite the fact that eyewitnesses said the boy stepped into the street against the light, the law reduces an injured person’s share of liability in accordance with their mental capacity. At trial, it was proven through a guidance counselor from his school that he was intellectually comparable to a seven-year-old. Thereafter, the jury determined that this young man was not legally responsible for his actions and awarded 100% in his favor on the liability portion of the trial
In one of the most tragic cases this office has seen, two mothers and their four teenagers were driving to a high school swimming meet on the New York State Thruway in a van. When the driver suspected a flat tire, instead of pulling over onto the shoulder, the mother of two of the children inexplicably stopped the van in the right moving lane of traffic. Within a very short time, the driver of a tanker truck traveling at a steady 65 miles an hour who claimed not to see the stopped van, struck it at full speed, literally cutting the van in half. There were two survivors with grave injuries and four fatalities. We secured the maximum insurance that was available to cover these claims.
