NYC Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Serving New York and Long Island

Raiser and Kenniff, P.C. is recognized by plaintiffs as one of the leading law firms in medical malpractice law. Medical malpractice often involves a tragic tort. We assist our clients and their loved ones in getting the justice they deserve.

It can be devastating to learn that highly educated physicians, hospitals, and medical providers make mistakes that negatively affect the lives of some patients—or cost some patients life itself.

Negligent, faulty care rests at the heart of many of the cases our New York medical malpractice lawyers at Raiser and Kenniff handles.

If you or someone you love is struggling with serious injuries that may have been prevented with a provider’s proper care, call us now. Our experienced legal team obtains favorable verdicts and settlements for clients.

We Advise and Represent Injured Children and Families

Medical malpractice cases usually involve complex and painful issues. Raiser and Kenniff, P.C. is experienced in addressing these difficult matters.

Our medical malpractice lawyers work on an array of malpractice actions, such as:

  • Hospital and surgical errors
  • Prescription medication errors
  • Liver transplantation issues (recipients and donors)
  • Heart surgery errors, e.g. valve replacement or bypass surgery errors
  • Gallbladder, pancreas, or colorectal surgery errors
  • Orthopedic surgeries and/or conditions, e.g. matters involving timely diagnosis of Chiari 1 malformation or cauda equine syndrome, or knee, hip, shoulder, or spinal fusion procedures
  • Plastic surgery errors
  • Dental errors and injuries
  • Neurosurgery, e.g. craniotomy or aneurysm surgery errors
  • Misdiagnosis of cancer or delay in diagnosing serious illnesses, e.g. heart disease, sepsis, meningitis, or infections
  • Provider or physician negligence, or emergency room negligence, e.g. inappropriate discharge or workup
  • Product liability matters, e.g. dangerous medical devices and drugs

We Combine Investigation and Litigation Skills

Clearly, most hospitals, doctors, and other medical providers are unlikely to admit their mistakes concerning patients’ care.

Our medical malpractice legal team combines strategy, investigation, and litigation skills to prevail.

We don’t rest until our clients’ medical mistreatments are legally righted.
Although the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that medical malpractice laws have evolved in recent decades, a medical malpractice case usually arises when an injured individual, heir, or representative files a claim against the attending physician, rehab center, hospital, medical or health system.

The plaintiff’s medical malpractice lawyer must show four elements, including:

  • The patient was due professional duties from the defendant.
  • The defendant failed to provide the professional duties it owed the patient.
  • The plaintiff (patient) injury occurred because of the defendant’s failure, error, or breach.
  • The plaintiff is owed economic compensation in consideration of the quantifiable damages, e.g. hospital or doctor bills.
  • The plaintiff may be owed non-economic compensation, addressing his or her current, prior or future pain and suffering because of the provider’s breach, failure, or error.
