New York Medical Malpractice Attorney
If you suspect professional negligence was responsible for a serious injury or the death of someone you love, it is important to speak with a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible.
At our personal injury firm, the Law Offices of Daniel A. Kalish, we understand how difficult this time is for all involved. However, a medical malpractice claim must be filed within the statute of limitations or the victim loses all rights to do so. In addition, preparing a strong medical malpractice case is a complex and difficult process. It is important to allow your lawyer as much time as possible before trial to collect evidence and expert statements.
If you contact our firm we will arrange a free consultation at our office in White Plains, New York, with medical malpractice attorney Daniel A. Kalish. He will give you an objective and reasonable assessment of your situation, and if he is not the best attorney to handle your claim, he will be happy to refer you to a well-qualified colleague.
You may be reluctant to pursue a claim against your therapist or doctor, particularly if you had a close relationship with the professional. We will handle all communications on your behalf, and any damages are usually paid by an insurance company, not by the individual who caused your injury. Consider also that your claim may save future patients from similar negligence.
Medical malpractice is the failure of a provider to adhere to a professional standard of care. Contact a lawyer if you notice evidence of negligence:
- a hospital or surgical accident, unnecessary amputation or infection, medication error, treatment mistake, or allergic reaction despite notice of the allergy on the patient’s chart
- psychiatrist abuse - any sexual relationship between a therapist and a client is psychiatric malpractice
- a psychiatrist’s failure to notify a facility that a patient may be suicidal or needs to be in a locked ward, resulting in suicide or other injury to the patient
- nursing home neglect or abuse indicated by bedsores, dehydration, malnutrition, fear, or depression
- failure to perform a cesarean section when monitors indicate fetal distress causing birth injuries such as brachial plexus, Erb’s palsy, and cerebral palsy
- poor maintenance that results in slippery floors or other hazards in hospitals
- defective medical equipment due by improper maintenance
