Medical malpractice and hospital malpractice lead to many serious injuries. Damage to the central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord, is catastrophic and will affect the person directly harmed and his or her entire family. We have helped clients who have become paralyzed, suffered strokes, coma, or experienced cognitive impairment. There are many preventable medical errors causing serious medical complications including coma and brain damage. Examples include medication errors, failure to properly diagnose and treat diabetes causing diabetic coma and serious harm, intravenous fluid administration errors, untreated infections, untreated metabolic or endocrine conditions, failure to properly treat poisoning and drug overdose, failure to diagnose and treat deep vein thrombosis leading to pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest with decreased oxygen to the brain, improper prescriptions causing dangerous drug interactions, and anesthesia malpractice. Infants and children are particularly susceptible to brain injury. Untreated infections, seizures, incorrect medications, and a failure to properly monitor and observe a hospitalized child can have serious consequences. It is nearly impossible for a patient or his family to receive an explanation for what happened. Many times, clients tell us that the doctors and hospital staff refuse to talk to them or will not answer questions. Other times, medical personnel provide conflicting or incomplete explanations of what may have caused a serious complication or brain injury or coma. As attorneys, we have the knowledge and experience to enforce New York State laws requiring hospitals and doctors to disclose all of the medical records necessary to review the medical events leading to the condition a patient believes is the result of malpractice.
