Brain Injuries Due to Medical Malpractice in New York City
Legal Help for Malpractice Caused Brain Injury
No Fees Unless We Obtain Compensation
Trusted and Award-Winning Representation
New York City has some of the nation’s largest and best recognized hospitals. And, many of the formerly “local” or “neighborhood” hospitals have been acquired by large networks, such as the New York-Presbyterian system, Mt. Sinai and Northwell.
This means that many if not the majority of patients seeking hospital care in New York City will be treated by “reputable” large network hospital entities. While these large networks have developed reputations for delivering state-of-the-art care, they are not immune from variations in quality in individual cases. It is our experience, unfortunately, that even the largest and “most reputable” hospitals and networks, can have substandard doctors. Or, otherwise good institutions can, on a given day for a given patient, still fall below standards of care.
This reflects a fundamental truth: “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”—a maxim that applies as much to medical care as other activities.
The demands of high patient volumes, also typical in New York, can strain those “weak links” to a breaking point. A busy Emergency Room Attending may be tempted to delegate too much to an inexperienced resident. A nurse in a busy post operative unit might not take the time to check a medication dose. Poor communications can also lead to poor care, even at “good” hospitals –such as in one of our cases in which a patient’s respiratory problems during surgery were not communicated to the post-anesthesia team, leading to a “cardiopulmonary arrest” and severe injury.
At Deutsch Law, we provide compassionate and results-driven representation for those who have suffered brain injuries due to medical negligence. We have extensive experience navigating the unique issues of malpractice leading to brain damage. This includes cases of delayed treatment of stroke, bleeding leading to hypoxia, imbalances in “acid-base” balance, and a host of issues that can result in damage to the brain and nervous system.
With our deep experience in complex medical records, and our network of leading neurologists and other experts, we can meticulously analyze the facts and records for evidence of malpractice. Following careful, evidence-based review of the facts, if there is proper basis for a case, we are committed to providing professional and tenacious representation to our clients, to obtain fair compensation for their injuries. These recoveries not only provide accountability, and improve incentives to provide proper care, but can often life-changing and positive effects for our clients: such as providing resources for better therapy, or replacing financial security that had been lost to injury.
Our Experience with Complex Brain Injury Cases
At Deutsch Law, we have deep experience representing those affected by brain injuries. We have represented clients with stroke injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and acquired brain injuries (ABIs).
Notable cases we handle include:
- Hypoxic Brain Injury: Brain damage from oxygen deprivation, which may be due to obstetrical errors, surgical errors, anesthesia malpractice.
- Misdiagnosed or Mismanaged Strokes: Preventable harm from delayed or incorrect diagnosis of strokes, such as delay in giving “clot busting” medicaitons, or failing to transfer a patient for higher level care to a Stroke Center.
- Diagnostic Errors: Such as misread imaging, failing to diagose tumore, or failing to diagnose conditions leading to uncontrollable bleeding.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Cases where brain injuries contusions were mishandled in emergency or hospital settings, including failing to monitor patients for “electrolyte” imbalances following head injury, or improper management of increased intracranial pressure.
