Mr. Gallivan represented my sisters and I in the wrongful death case of my mother as a result of medical negligence at a major hospital in the Bronx. What I valued most about him was his kindness and compassion, he worked tiresly to obtain the maximum compensation for us and negotiated a medical lien reduction. While our case was complicated and took years to resolve he always kept us informed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gallivan and his firm.

I had an incident to where i was injured, and did not know much about civil law. Sam guided me every step of the way and fought for me side by side to get the best possible outcome for me. He did not let insurance low ball me, and held out for that best possible income. If i have any other incidents, he is my attorney.

Having recently been through a difficult and expensive divorce, my feeling about legal representation was jaded. Sameer changed everything. His attention to detail was unmatched and his ability to do extraordinary work independently while keeping me informed was different than anything I've ever experienced. In the end, I received more than I ever expected. More importantly, Sameer listened to me and I felt like he was on my side. I can't say enough great things about him and I would recommend him to anyone.

As they say, “give credit where credit is due”. With this said, I would like to give Curan and Ahlers, LLP and his team many credits for representing my mom during a difficult time. I am grateful to Mr. Ahlers for his excellent job while taking the time to explain in detail where the process was and what was to be expected for my mother’s case. The end result of the case was more than I expected. Thank you for giving my mother a voice! In addition to being very grateful towards Mr. Ahlers, it was nice to see that Mr. Ahlers continued to display being an exceptional and compassionate attorney with a likeable personality; many years ago Mr. Ahlers and his team represented my sister’s case. I highly recommend Curan and Ahlers, LLP!
A huge plus working with Curan and Ahlers, LLP is that his team will extend an invitation to come visit you if you are unable to visit the law firm’s office!

I was assigned Mr. Friedberg to defend me in my first malpractice case. I could not be in better hands. He explained the process to me and prepped me well. He delved into the specifics of the case and surprised me with his almost boyish excitement in learning the important medical aspects of the case. With every word I spoke, his mind was working overtime fashioning the best defense strategy for the case. There is no greater friend to a physician facing the stress and pain of a malpractice case than Mr. Friedberg

Ms. Cynthia Devasia and the offices of Isaacs, Devasia, Castro, and Wien saved my career.
When faced with insurmountable odds Ms. Cynthia saw through all the history that made my case a muddled mess and put the best, most succinct, argument forward to help save my career from a machine determined to ruin me.
Ms. Cynthia was integral in making all the right decisions and I will forever be grateful for her counsel and her offices resources that helped make my case a success, all things considered.
I was being railroaded and she fought the powers that be with my truth, incorporating all pertinent information necessary to preserve my employment. I was facing dismissal. Ms. Cynthia was able to help me preserve my career from people who were targeting me.
I highly recommend Ms. Cynthia and her law office for excellent service and the best counsel you can get.

Portale/Randazzo is "without question" the highest quality criminal defense law firm in Westchester!
On behalf of a family member and close family friend, both former clients of Portale/Randazzo and in each case (non related separate matters) declined and labeled hopeless by other attorney(s) upon their introduction, Richard Portale carefully reviewed the details of each case and graciously accepted the challenges. He then guaranteed a successful outcome, fought for justice and won!
Rich and his team have an extensive knowledge of our laws and rights and they are undoubtedly committed to providing every client with the respect, privacy and attention they deserve.
Most importantly, Richard Portale is a genuinely compassionate and patient person (perhaps a rare quality in this field) making it clear that everyone should be comfortable asking/answering any questions. He and his team were very supportive throughout the process, reassuring doubts and being concerned with everyone's wellbeing, which makes the overall experience a lot less stressful!

I researched quite a few firms before deciding on Denlea & Carton, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. They surpassed my expectations in every respect. They were kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They treated my case as if it was their own, and never backed down from the fight with the defendant until they obtained an incredible result for me. There is a difference between law firms, and I’m glad I took the time to realize it. I would recommend Jim and Jeff (and everyone else who helped me) without hesitation. They’re terrific!

Putting my trust in Injured941 when it came to my legal matter was the best decision I could have made. Not only did Jeff and John make me feel like I was in the right hands, but they went above and beyond to get me the settlement I deserved. They are highly experienced, responsive, knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy, and they made sure they always kept my best interest and unique needs at the forefront. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation that is looking for a fair and honest experience and settlement. Should the situation ever arise again, Injured941 is the only law firm I would seek representation from.

I’ve been a client of Denlea & Carton since July 2018. From my earliest meeting with Jeff and Amber, to my most recent meetings with Jim and Debbi, and at every meeting in between, the firm has always made me feel like a member of their family. They took the time to get to know me (and my family), and have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and secure. I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders knowing that they would represent my best interests in pursuing a recovery for the personal injuries I suffered, allowing me to focus on my emotional and physical recovery. My calls and emails were always answered immediately, and the firm took the time to explain everything they were doing and to ensure I understood and approved their efforts. Jeff and Debbi were relentless in pursuing my claim, and left no stone unturned when it came to getting me the settlement I was able to achieve. Their dedication to my case really paid off in the end. I’m so happy I chose Denlea & Carton to represent me in my time of need, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything they’ve done for me and my family.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
