The Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates handles New York medical malpractice cases.  New York doctors and hospitals commit medical malpractice when they provide medical treatment that falls below the applicable standard of care and injures patients.

Medical malpractice can encompass a wide variety of misconduct by a healthcare professional:

• emergency room doctor misdiagnoses patient's symptoms;
• surgeon operates on patient without first obtaining the patient's informed consent;
• anesthesiologist fails to notice patient's adverse reaction to anesthesia;
• obstetrician delays delivery despite signs of fetal distress; and
• nurse administers the wrong medication.

When any of the above occurs, the resulting injuries may be severe and life-altering. Depending on the severity of the error, some patients may never fully recover from their injuries.  Patients hurt by medical malpractice are entitled to seek compensation for their injuries, including the costs of medical treatment and physical therapy, as well as lost wages or diminished earnings caused by the medical malpractice.
