Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet has been a leading medical malpractice and personal injury law firm in New York for more than 40 years. We have consciously maintained a small staff of expert lawyers, so we are able to take only the most serious injury cases, and to give our clients the full attention they deserve. In addition to the numerous million-dollar settlements won on behalf of our clients, our legal team has been instrumental in the establishment of some very important principles of law. We encourage you to learn more about our most noteworthy cases.
McDermott v. Manhattan Eye and Ear , 255 N.Y.S.2d 65, established the rules for cross-examination of physicians in medical malpractice cases.
Morell v. Balasubramanian , 520 N,Y,S,2d 530 (Ct. of App. 1987), established plaintiffs’ rights to sue individual treating doctors employed by the State in the Supreme Court with a jury, rather than having to sue in the Court of Claims.
Lanza v. Parkeast Hospital , 476 N.Y.S.2d ( First Dept. 1984), dealt with the apparent agency and vicarious liability by a group of individual doctors practicing together.
We have handled dozens of cases which resulted in million-dollar plus settlements and verdicts. Among those cases are: psychiatric malpractice $4,200,00; failure to diagnose and treat lung cancer $1,100,000; improper ENT surgery $1,900,000; failure to properly treat trauma resulting in death $3,000,000; failure to diagnose and treat meningitis in a baby $ 7,421,000; death during gynecological surgery $2,750,000; birth of premature infants $4,300,000 and $4,000,000; many cases involving improper management of labor and delivery; among which were recoveries of $2,750,000, $1,500,000, $2,750,000, $2,000,000, $1,750,000 and $1,245,310; failure to diagnose and treat breast cancer $1,314,000 and $1,100,000; failure to diagnose and treat heart problems $1,700,000 and $1,500,000; police brutality resulting in paralysis $4,500,000; industrial accident followed by malpractice $1,628,544.
