Medical Malpractice Cases - NJ NY

In another medical malpractice/wrongful death case, our client suffered a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and died at a hospital in Nassau County (Long Island) after the results of a cardiac stress test (which showed blockage or ischemia) were not communicated. 

In another medical malpractice case, our client died following bypass surgery at a NY hospital when multiple attempts at intubation by a young resident were unsuccessful. 

Another medical malpractice case involved a young woman who died from a pulmonary embolism (which resulted from a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) while an IVC filter was being retrieved by an interventional radiologist at a New York hospital. 

We are currently representing  the family of the Estate of an individual who died at a New Jersey hospital (Monmouth County) from a seizure and cardiac arrest which resulted from internal bleeding and the failure of the hospital's resident physician and nurses to timely perform a blood transfusion, which had been ordered due to the patient's hematocrit levels falling.

Severe Disabling Injuries

We have handled a wide array of medical malpractice and other medical negligence cases resulting in severe and/or disabling personal injury. 

By way of some examples, the firm has represented children in obstetrics (OBGYN) malpractice cases who were injured at birth from the negligence of the obstetrician and sustained a brachial plexus injury, otherwise known as a shoulder dystocia injury, resulting in Erb's Palsy. 

Our lawyers handled a medical malpractice case arising out of an anesthesia error that occurred during orthopedic surgery at a New Jersey hospital (Monmouth County), which resulted in cardiac arrest, hypoxia, encephalopathy and severe brain injury. 

We have handled a gastoenterology malpractice case against a gastroenterologist arising out of a colonoscopy, which resulted in a spleen injury and splenic rupture requiring splenectomy.  The patient in that case suffered a respiratory arrest and developed ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). 

We have handled medical malpractice cases for clients who sustained a scar or disfigurement through the negligence of a plastic surgeon or scarring from a burn injury. 

Another client's head was scarred when a NY brain surgeon performed an operation for an aneurysm and operated on the wrong side of the patient's brain. 

Another client suffered injury and disability when an impending stroke was not diagnosed or treated at a NJ hospital (Mercer County). 

Another urology malpractice case involves a client who suffered multiple amputations when an obstructed ureter went untreated and led to sepsis and septic shock at a Long Island hospital (Suffolk County). 

Our attorneys successfully prosecuted a medical malpractice case against a spine surgeon in NY who allowed a hemangioma to bleed into our client's spinal cord, resulting in quadriplegia. 

We also won a medical malpractice trial against an orthopedic surgeon in New Jersey who failed to timely diagnose an infection and administer antibiotics.

Medical Misdiagnosis Lawsuits

The firm is experienced in handling misdiagnosis or failure to timely diagnose cancer cases within the fields of radiology (e.g., mammography, MRI, CT or CAT scan) and oncology.  Our attorneys have experience in cases involving breast cancer and cervical cancer.  Breast cancer cases often involve the spread of metastatic cancer and more extensive treatment such as a mastectomy or chemotherapy, which may have been avoided had an earlier, timely diagnosis been made. 

In a case against a NY urologist, our client suffered internal bleeding during surgery for prostate cancer after the insertion of a central line, which injured his subclavian artery and caused a pneumothorax and massive internal bleeding.  This complication went undiagnosed and untreated despite persistent complaints of pain, nausea and shortness of breath. 

We are currently handling a delay in the diagnosis of lung cancer case for a client whose abnormal chest x-ray results were never relayed to him by his NJ cardiologist (Monmouth County).

Nursing Home Law Suits

We have handled cases against a nursing home for patients who have developed a pressure sore known as a decubitus ulcer (Ocean County), and in one such case the ulcer resulted in an amputation.  In an endocrinology case against a New York nursing home, the facility failed to administer medication for our client's adrenal insufficiency (Addison's Disease) and our client passed away.
