Improper Medication
Has someone administered or prescribed medication for you that caused injury? If so, there are legal recourses available to you, and our medical malpractice lawyers have years of experience working with clients throughout New York City.
Unfortunately, medications are improperly administered more often than people realize.

Dental Malpractice
For many people, the thought of a dental visit conjures up feelings of fear and anxiety. Usually this fear is unfounded, and most people are given high quality care and treated in a professional manner. However, when substandard dental care is provided, the affects can be severe. The dental malpractice attorneys at our Manhattan and Long Island area offices can help guide you through the web of complex legal matters associated with a dental malpractice case. Dental professionals are expected to uphold the same high standards of practice as those in other medical professions.
Consequences of dental malpractice can put a life at risk, such as the failure to diagnose oral cancer. Dental Malpractice can also include:
