The
New York-based law firm of Oshman & Mirisola,
LLP, has more than 35 years experience handling claims involving
medical malpractice and
birth injuries throughout the region.
Verdicts or settlements achieved for medical malpractice or birth injury
clients include three cases with a value of $10 million or more.
Medical malpractice in NY occurs when there is a deviation from the accepted
standard of care in the community or locality where the doctor or hospital is
located. It can take many shapes and forms, from failing to timely diagnose
cancer to a slow response during a difficult childbirth. Medical malpractice is
a much greater problem than most people realize. Each year in the United States thousands die from
medical treatment that falls short of what is expected of our highly trained
medical professionals.
The NY medical malpractice attorneys at
Oshman & Mirisola, LLP, have extensive experience in holding negligent
healthcare providers liable for the medical injuries or deaths they cause. Among
the law firm’s practice areas:
-
Cancer Misdiagnosis. Cancer misdiagnosis occurs when a doctor
or medical staff does not detect or treat any form of cancer either
aggressively or early enough, or when a doctor attributes symptoms of cancer
to another disease. When a cancer misdiagnosis occurs, the risk of death
increases dramatically and costs skyrocket for treating the later stage
cancer. Intensive measures such as high dose chemotherapy and radiation
therapy can cause debilitating side effects, in addition to associated
medical expenses.
-
Surgical errors.
A 2003 Journal of American Medical Association study found that
over 32,000 surgical-error related deaths occurred costing $9 billion and
causing longer hospital-stay related insurance costs. Surgical errors can
occur as far back as the pre-operative stage of the surgery, when a doctor
examines the patient and determines that a surgery is the most appropriate
course of action.
-
Anesthesia errors. While anesthesia is generally considered
safe today, anesthesia errors can be made, leading to disastrous
consequences. Current statistics indicate that 1 in every 200,000 to 300,000
patients die due to anesthesia complications. Anesthesia errors can occur
for a number of reasons, but are often the result of professional
negligence.
-
Birth Injuries. Statistics show that approximately 3 of
every 100 births involve some sort of birth-related injury. Although most
women give birth in a hospital surrounded by medical professionals, a birth
injury can happen at almost any point during labor and delivery. Many
injuries are unavoidable. Unfortunately, many result from medical negligence
or error on the part of healthcare providers.
-
Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy, or CP, is a group of permanent disorders associated
with developmental brain injuries that occur during fetal development,
birth, or shortly after birth. It is characterized by a disruption of motor
skills, with symptoms such as spasticity, paralysis or seizures. Our Web
site contains value
resources for learning more about this disorder.
-
Erb’s Palsy.
Erb's Palsy is a type of brachial plexus injury. The brachial
plexus is a network of nerves that run from the spine through the shoulder
and to the tips of the fingers. Most brachial plexus (Erb’s Palsy) injuries
happen during the strain of childbirth, when the shoulder of the baby gets
caught and stretched behind the mother’s pelvic bone. Once the shoulder is
caught, the brachial plexus can be compressed, stretched or torn. Our Web
site contains valuable
frequently asked questions and
resources on this injury.
