New York Medical Malpractice & Birth Injury Attorneys

New York Medical Malpractice Lawyers

We don't anticipate problems when visiting the doctor or checking into a hospital for routine surgery. We expect the medical professionals to take care of our health concerns and send us on our way. When ordinary encounters with physicians, dentists, and other health providers result in injuries, additional illnesses or even death, we need answers. We want to understand what happened. We need to know that the person or institution that harmed us will be responsible for the damage they caused. And we deserve to receive compensation that allows us to heal and move forward.

More than 30 years of experience handling medical malpractice cases

At the New York law firm of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, our lawyers have been handling medical malpractice cases for more than 30 years. We have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements for clients injured because of the negligence or misconduct of medical professionals and institutions. This compensation allows them to focus on healing, providing payment for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
