People see their doctors to solve medical problems, not make them worse. While Orin J. Cohen Law respects and appreciates the work medical providers do, there are numerous cases in which patients on Staten Island, in Brooklyn and across New York City are harmed due to carelessness or negligence. These cases are the reason for my medical errors practice and your need for an experienced lawyer.

These are some of the common errors that occur in doctor’s offices, clinics and hospitals:
Surgical errors: cutting or severing vital tissue during the procedure

Failure to monitor patients during surgery or recovery
Infections that should have been prevented
Failure to provide the brain with oxygen
Surgical equipment errors
Birth injury occurring to mother or child, including cerebral palsy
Emergency room errors

‘Never Events’ Continue To Plague Hospitals And Health Care Centers
The above list includes just some of the errors that should never occur in a hospital setting; even providers and hospital administrators admit the unacceptability of these occurrences, calling them “never events.”
When they occur anyway, it is usually because of an action or omission that falls well below the expected standard of medical care. When that happens, patients and their families are entitled to seek compensation under the principles of centuries-old personal injury law.
