MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Every year, thousands of people are injured as a result of medical malpractice. In 1990, a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health estimated that each year, more than 3% of patients in New York State hospitals suffered some form of a medical mistake which resulted in serious injury. Nationally, the Harvard Medical Practice Study estimated that each year, more than 180,000 people die, at least in part, because of medical mistakes. Parker Waichman Alonso LLP has successfully represented victims of medical malpractice, dental malpractice, nursing home negligence and hospital negligence for over 10 years.
