FEATURED CASES

Christian, 4, was brought to the hospital for a routine droopy eyelid repair. The hospital in a cost cutting measure had contracted out it's anesthesia services to a third party corporation which was saving money by employing mostly nurse practitioners instead of trained doctors to administer anesthesia. The nurse designated to anesthetize Christian as it turned out was not even certified. Only minutes after the child was wheeled in, his heart stopped from an overdose of Halothane gas and he ultimately was without oxygen for fifteen minutes. He had to be removed to another hospital where he had to be retrained to talk and walk again. Ultimately, at the time of trial eight years later, Christian was learning at a first grade level, couldn't tie his shoes or ride a bike. The hospital doctors claimed that he either had an allergic reaction to the gas, or was that way before the incident or both. Ultimately, the defendants caved in after a grueling five week trial, when it became apparent that the plaintiff would win.

A young Chinese mother was seriously injured and her baby was lost due to the negligence of the doctors and staff delivering her baby and failing to carefully watch and heed the monitors. Additionally, the mother's anatomy was torn severely necessitating surgical repair.

Medical Malpractice

Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorneys.

Medical Malpractice is an extremely complex field. Dansker & Aspromonte's track record is excellent with respect to medical malpractice cases. In fact, they have never lost a medical malpractice case, despite the fact that 4 out of 5 malpractice cases are lost by plaintiffs in the New York City metropolitan area.

In order to win a medical malpractice case, the injured party must prove that the doctor or hospital departed from good and accepted medical practice in the community.

Though it may sound simple, it is extremely difficult to prove. Doctors defending the other side, will always claim that the bad outcome or result was an accepted known risk, an unforseen, unavoidable consequence or, if they agree it was malpractice, then damage was not caused by them. We have doctors and nurses who work closely with us and review the facts and medicine to provide first rate support to our law firm in all aspects of trial prep and trial. We also have access to a huge group of the most respected medical experts in the country to help prove your case in court.

Success, as in all other areas in litigation, is in the preparation.

Very often, it would appear to the average person that medical malpractice has been committed in a particular case. However, in order to win a malpractice case, a doctor must testify affirmatively in court that malpractice was committed and that it was a substantial factor in causing the injuries claimed.

Allow our team of medical malpractice lawyers and skilled doctors to review the specifics of your case to determine if in fact malpractice was committed.
