Did you know that medical malpractice is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States?

We have the experience necessary to get victims the compensation they deserve.

People who are sick or injured are especially vulnerable, and it is only reasonable that they be able to entrust their health, and their lives, to licensed medical professionals. It is the responsibility of all healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, anesthesiologists, and even hospital administrators, to meet reasonable standards of care for every patient. When they fail to meet these standards, whether by committing an error or through sheer negligence, the law dictates that they must be held accountable for any injuries or deaths that may occur. At the firm of Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet, our experienced medical malpractice attorneys have successfully litigated lawsuits in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and throughout the New York City area.

What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is a broad term that encompasses a range of preventable medical errors. Common instances of medical malpractice occur when a health care professional misdiagnoses a patient’s illness, fails to diagnose an illness, prescribes incorrect medications, does not obtain informed consent, or fails to follow the correct procedures while delivering a baby, causing a birth injury. Injuries sustained from a medical malpractice can range from temporary injuries to permanent disability and even wrongful death. Medical malpractice is an egregious violation of a patient’s trust, and it is also a violation of the law. At Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet, our medical malpractice attorneys have recovered compensation for victims in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and throughout New York.
