Negligence Lawyers NY

For years, some associations of doctors and insurers in NY and elsewhere have carried on a public relations offensive accusing medical malpractice lawyers of abusing negligence lawsuits and placing the medical establishment at risk. Unfortunately, it is patients who are at risk when negligence occurs in a medical setting. These groups would do better to police the practitioners and institutions they aim to protect.

If you or family members have experienced harm due to negligence by a NY hospital, doctor or other medical practitioner, you have a right to redress through the legal system. Please do not be intimidated or swayed by public relations efforts into ignoring medical negligence. Only by contacting an experienced medical malpractice lawyer can you protect your rights, and the rights of others, to high standards in medical care.

Make the NY Medical System Work by Reporting Negligence to a Lawyer

The NY medical malpractice laws exist in order to allow you and your lawyer to hold doctors accountable to the community's recognized standard for professional medical care. When patients fail to stand up for their own rights, the negligence of irresponsible practitioners continues. The wronged patient loses out on the opportunity to recover costs and damages to make him whole for the incident of negligence. The safety of all future patients is placed at greater risk.

You can help to make the medical system work as it should by reporting any instance of NY medical negligence to a highly qualified medical malpractice lawyer. Contact Jeffrey J. Shapiro today by email. He has fighting for patients' rights for over 25 years.
