Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving the Bronx
There are remedies for seeking justice in these cases. However, because New York statutes of limitation are in place, it’s crucial to contact a Bronx medical malpractice lawyer as quickly as possible. We have decades of experience fighting for victims just like you– and will help you navigate the litigation process.
While it’s true that doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons are only human, they have also taken an oath to provide a certain standard of care. Unfortunately, many healthcare professionals and hospitals in the Bronx fail to uphold this responsibility. Whether you were treated at Montefiore Medical Center, New York Westchester Square Medical Center, or the North Central Bronx Hospital, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries when medical negligence was a factor. Our malpractice lawyers can determine if you have grounds for legal action and advise you on the best steps moving forward.
What Constitutes a Medical Negligence Case?
The legal team at Friedman, Levy, Goldfarb, Green & Bagley has handled cases against some of the biggest names in New York and the Bronx health care system. We have the manpower, financial resources, and skill to get to the truth and prove if medical negligence is to blame.
Your Bronx medical malpractice attorney will conduct detailed investigations, reviewing hospital and medical records, as well as previous malpractice complaints, to identify and preserve compelling evidence. A medical expert will be retained to review the records.
A poor surgical outcome or treatment protocol, in and of itself, doesn’t justify a lawsuit. To sue for damages, victims must prove the following elements in a medical malpractice case:
- Duty: The medical provider had a duty of care to the patient
- Breach of Duty: The defendant breached this duty of care
- Causation: The actions or inaction of the defendant directly caused injury to the patient
- Damages: The patient’s injuries and harm resulted in damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and disability
Medical malpractice cases are inherently complicated and often difficult to win without expert legal representation. When it comes to protecting your rights and proving liability in a medical malpractice case, you need an attorney who has a long track record of success. Our case results speak volumes about our tenacity and litigation prowess. You may have a stronger case than you realize. Find out now by contacting a Bronx personal injury lawyer at our firm.
