Hospital Errors

New York Hospital Errors & Doctor Negligence Attorneys
Westchester County • White Plains • NYC

A trip to the hospital should be the first step in recovering from an injury or illness. However, for many of our clients, that visit instead represented mistreatment from an incompetent physician. At the Law Offices of Young & Bartlett, LLP in White Plains and New York City, our injury lawyers will strive to hold doctors accountable for their hospital errors.

Failure to Diagnose or Misdiagnosis of an Illness

At the Law Offices of Young & Bartlett, LLP, our Westchester County lawyers represent clients whose doctors failed to diagnose cancer or an infection from a bedsore following a broken leg. Patients place a great deal of trust in their doctor to thoroughly examine them and properly diagnose their condition. When that trust is violated, their condition can worsen and even result in death. You need the type of representation that we provide.

Medication Errors and Failure to Monitor Medication

The wrong prescription can cause serious and life-threatening injuries. The smallest mistake in the type of medication or the amount you should take can mean the difference between life and death. We will aggressively represent you if the doctor ignored the medication you needed or was inattentive to other drugs you were taking.

Surgical Errors and Emergency Room Malpractice

Emergency room malpractice is a common hospital error due to the frantic pace of a busy hospital. However, doctors are supposed to be trained to handle the high volume and stressful environments that come with being an ER physician. Doctors who fail to meet even the most minimal of standards when they commit errors in anesthesia or operate on the wrong body part must be held responsible.

Medical Specialists

When you place your life in the hands of another, you expect to be treated with the utmost in care and expertise. This is especially true when you have sought out a particular medical specialist to help you cope with your illness or injury. Any negligence or errors made by the specialist requires action. If you have been injured by a physician practicing in any of the following medical specialties, contact us today.
