Local patients who received hernia mesh, hip implants, IVC filters, CPAP machines, surgical staplers, or other devices that later caused harm may have viable product liability claims regardless of which hospital performed the procedure.

Birth injuries caused by delayed C-section, fetal monitoring failures, improper instrument use, or inadequate obstetric supervision can have lifelong consequences. We evaluate claims for families in this community.
Learn more →Wrongful Death
When a patient dies due to preventable medical negligence or a defective product, surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim. We help families understand their rights under New York's 2023-amended wrongful death law.
