Manhattan Medical Malpractice Lawyers

According to information compiled from Johns Hopkins Medicine, medical errors cause over 250,000 deaths per year. If you or a loved one has been damaged, suffered health complications or even died due to medical malpractice, you could be facing consequences including chronic pain and suffering, lifelong disabilities, extensive medical treatment and loss of income or wages. All medical professionals must uphold a standard of care when administering treatment to patients and must act in accordance with how a reasonable professional in the same situation would. If they do not, they can be found responsible for any ensuing damages.

If you suffered serious injuries or a loved one passed away because of medical malpractice, you have legal options. A medical malpractice lawyer serving Manhattan from Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can take on your burdens during this challenging time. They can investigate the details of your situation, gather evidence that supports your claim, and fight for compensation on your behalf.

• Failing to properly monitor pregnancy

Determining Who Is at Fault for Medical Malpractice

Every medical malpractice situation is different. In some cases, the attending doctors could be found responsible for their poor judgment or error. In others, the medical facility itself can be found liable for your damages. There are many instances where both the attending doctor(s) and the medical facility where treatment was rendered can both be responsible for the malpractice committed and be held liable. When you work with Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, we can assign liability and then move forward with recovering the cost of your damages.

Some of the potential defendants in a medical malpractice lawsuit can include:

• A medical professional directly responsible for harm to you or your loved one
• A healthcare facility such as a hospital
• An individual medical administrator

There are various circumstances where a medical facility could be found liable for medical error.

Such instances may include:

• When the doctor who commits the malpractice is an employee of the facility
• When the patient seeks care from the facility rather than a particular physician
• When a facility’s administration allows a doctor to practice who is not certified to do so
• When a medical facility fails to properly and adequately supervise its employees
• When a medical facility fails to properly and adequately maintain its equipment

In some situations, multiple parties can be implicated in your case. During your free consultation with Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, you can learn in more detail what this could mean for you.
