What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
 

Medical malpractice is not always immediately evident; in fact, failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, and other types of medical negligence often are not noticeable until some time after the patient receives improper care. Speaking with our medical malpractice attorneys during a free consultation can help determine whether you or someone you love should file a medical malpractice claim. In order to prove liability in a medical malpractice case, our White Plains attorneys must show the following:

Patient Duty

A hospital, doctor, or medical care provider accepted the patient and agreed to provide treatment.

Breach of Care

This healthcare practitioner or facility must have broken that agreement by failing to provide proper care according to accepted industry standards.

Injury
 

Our medical malpractice lawyers must show that the failure to provide the standard of care caused the patient to be injured or harmed.

Damages
 

Our lawyers will submit evidence to show that there are damages (economic or non-economic) sustained by the patient.

They are an OUTSTANDING law firm. Over the years I have contacted this firm for legal assistance. They are very knowledgeable, caring, honest, professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I spoke with Paul Barrese today and although the firm didn't take my case, he took the time to speak with me and provide the best options for me to proceed regarding my legal matter. I highly recommend their services! Look no further and contact them for legal assistance!
