NYC Malpractice Lawyers - Hospital and Surgical Errors
Manhattan • Brooklyn • Queens • Bronx • Staten Island • Putnam County
Hospitals and surgeons are financially liable for injuries and deaths that occur as a result of their negligence. Due to staff shortages, turnover, and poor communication, nurses and hospital orderlies sometimes give the wrong medication to a patient, fail to maintain a sanitary environment, and occasionally mistake one patient for another. As a result, patients develop health complications or fail to receive the care needed to prevent their condition from worsening. In the case of surgical errors, departures from standard treatment protocols on the part of surgeons can result in botched procedures, disfigurement, and complications during surgery. At the Brooklyn, New York law firm of Weinstein, Chase, Messinger & Peters, we consult medical experts and hospital professionals in reviewing and evaluating the actions of surgeons, anesthesiologists, operating room nurses and other hospital staff.

We expose mistakes and negligence on the part of medical professionals and demand fair compensation for our clients.
