A patient should be able to trust their doctor and other healthcare providers. Unfortunately, medical errors are a leading cause of injury and death all across the country. If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical professional, a New York City medical malpractice lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP can help. The attorneys on our legal team are tough advocates for medical negligence and malpractice victims and know what it takes to build a strong case that will prove your demand for compensation.
Not every situation in which a patient’s condition worsens or something goes wrong is medical malpractice. Not every patient will respond to treatment in the same way and medical science makes no guarantees. If a patient’s condition is not treatable or becomes worse it is not considered malpractice. If the doctor acted with reasonable care and skill in choosing and following through with a course of treatment, no medical malpractice occurred.
Medical malpractice refers to cases where a medical professional’s negligence results in substandard treatment, causing harm, injury, or death to the patient. Medical malpractice comes in many forms and can occur at any point during treatment. To qualify as a legal issue, the medical professional must have acted incompetently, resulting in injury or death.
Examples of medical malpractice include:
Examples of surgical mistakes include:
Examples of medication errors can include:
Anesthesia errors can include:

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
