Magendzo Law
Medical Malpractice Lawyers in New York
When you trust a doctor or hospital and a mistake leaves you worse off, you deserve answers. We review what happened and what should have happened.
Medical malpractice cases are different from accident cases. They depend on detailed medical records and on whether a doctor, nurse or hospital failed to give the care a careful provider would have given. New York also has special rules and deadlines for these cases.
Magendzo Law reviews what happened, gathers your medical records and consults with medical professionals to understand whether a mistake caused your injury. We explain the process in English or Spanish and follow up at every stage.
Common Situations
- Misdiagnosis or a diagnosis that came too late, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke
- Surgical mistakes
- Medication and prescription errors
- Birth injuries
- Emergency room errors
- Anesthesia mistakes
