Proving Liability for Your New York Medical Malpractice Case
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. conducts a thorough investigation of your case and obtains evidence and documentation to identify the at-fault party or parties. We prove liability using information that may include:
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Photographs of your injuries
- Malpractice claims history
- Prior complaints against the same facility or party
- Medical expert opinions from a qualified healthcare professional
Doctors and medical practitioners must provide patients with treatment that conforms to the generally accepted standard of care in medical practice. We use the evidence we gathered to demonstrate how the practitioner failed to uphold their duty of care. This usually requires that we work with a medical provider with a similar background, experience, and training as the practitioner in question. Expert testimony is often key in securing monetary damages for our clients in these cases.

Wrongful Death Damages in a New York Medical Malpractice Case
If the death of a loved one is what has led you here, we offer you our heartfelt condolences. We consider it a special privilege to fight for the surviving family members of medical malpractice wrongful death victims.
There is some amount of risk with every medical procedure, and unfortunately, death is one of them. If someone dies after surgery or another medical treatment, it is not automatically grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, in some cases, a patient’s death could lead to a medical malpractice action if the lawyers for the surviving family members show that the medical professional or facility that treated their loved one acted in a manner that was not consistent with the generally accepted standard of care.
Our New York medical malpractice lawyer will review the details of the situation to determine if medical negligence occurred and was the cause of your loved one passing away. If you choose Friedman & Simon to represent your case, we will work to show:
- Your relative had a doctor-patient relationship with the medical professional
- The medical professional did not adhere to the accepted standard of care in the medical field, which constitutes negligence on their part
- The medical professional’s negligence directly caused your loved one’s injury and death
- Your loved one’s injuries and death resulted in damages that must be paid or repaid, such as their final medical bills, funeral and burial costs, and loss of their household income
If your loved one died because of a medical professional’s negligent actions, the Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. team will assist you with a wrongful death action. We provide free case consultations for families who lost a beloved member due to medical negligence. Connect with us today to learn more about our services, fees, and next steps.
