Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include:

- Medical Malpractice

Most people are familiar with the term medical malpractice but very few understand how complex a medical malpractice case can be. Bringing a successful claim against a New York doctor or hospital requires knowledge of New York malpractice laws and years of legal experience. The New York lawyers of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. understand these complexities and have a proven track record with malpractice cases.

- Birth Injury

If you suspect that your child has sustained a birth injury, you should seek legal assistance as soon as possible after the birth. Even if you are unsure, the New York birth injury attorneys of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C.. can review your case and help you determine whether you have grounds to seek money damages for your child's injuries. Although money cannot make up for the harm caused, it can help pay for the expensive and lengthy medical care that your injured child will likely need. It can also help with other costs incurred in giving your child the best possible future.

- Cerebral Palsy

If a doctor’s mistake occurred before or during the birth of your child, you may be entitled to damages for your child’s cerebral palsy condition. Keep in mind that any medical malpractice lawsuit, including cerebral palsy litigation, is very complex and a case can sometimes be challenging to prove. Therefore, if you are considering filing a medical malpractice claim, it is vital to seek the help of a qualified medical malpractice attorney. The New York lawyers of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. have more than 150 years of combined experience. We are well-prepared to handle all your legal needs.

- Erbs Palsy

Giving birth should be one of the most thrilling times for a family. Unfortunately, that excitement can be tempered by unexpected complications, some of which are the result of medical malpractice. One of the most common complications is a birth injury known as Erb’s palsy, also known as brachial plexus palsy. If your child suffers from Erb’s palsy, medical malpractice likely contributed to the condition. The New York lawyers of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. have been extremely successful in proving Erb’s palsy is a preventable birth injury.

- Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Victims of a doctor’s failure to properly diagnose cancer can hold the doctor accountable for failing to make the correct diagnosis. A legal case can help you recover for the damages that you incur, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, because of the mistake by your health care provider. In order to recover the damages to which you are entitled, it is important to work with skilled attorneys during this challenging time. As you fight for your health, we will fight to help you recover the money you need for your medical care. Our experienced attorneys can help if you or a loved one was hurt by a doctor’s failure to diagnose cancer. We will not collect a fee unless you are successful in your case.

- Surgical Errors

Surgical errors can happen during any kind of surgery, from a routine knee replacement to complicated brain surgery. An error occurs when a doctor or a nurse does not exercise the same degree of reasonable care that a similarly trained doctor or nurse would exercise in a similar situation, and an injury results. The attorneys of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. have handled many surgical error cases and are ready to represent you in what may be one of the most important legal matters of your life.

- Emergency Room Error

Several common emergency room errors can constitute medical malpractice when a patient is harmed. They include: Excessive amount of wait time to see a medical professional; Failure to fully evaluate and diagnose a medical condition; Failure to adequately monitor a patient’s condition and respond to changes; and, Failure to perform appropriate medical tests. These errors can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment or medication. When not corrected, the results can be a worsening of the original medical emergency, the development of an entirely new medical condition, or even death.

- Hospital Negligence

If you have been harmed because a hospital did not treat you properly or in a timely manner, you may be able to bring a medical malpractice case to recover money for medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering. However, legal claims against hospitals and doctors are complex. Experienced legal advice and guidance are needed to protect your rights. If you or someone you love has been injured due to hospital negligence, the New York lawyers of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. can help.

- Gallbladder Surgery

Most people give no thought to their gallbladders until they start to experience pain. Gallbladders are relatively small organs located below the liver that are part of our digestive system. The main purpose of the gallbladder is to store bile until it is released into the small intestine. A gallbladder is a useful but expendable organ. Most people who develop gallstones choose to have their gallbladder removed because gallstones, and the horrific pain that they bring with them, often recur. A gallbladder can be removed through laparoscopic surgery or traditional surgery. In a well-performed gallbladder surgery, the bile created by the body is redirected to move directly from the liver to the small intestine.

- Anesthesia Malpractice

Anesthesia allows people to undergo lifesaving medical procedures that would not be possible if they had to feel the pain of surgery. Prior to a medical procedure, an anesthesiologist consults with the patient and explains the risks of anesthesia. However, patients and their families should be aware of what their anesthesiologist doesn’t tell them – that anesthesia error is a frequent form of medical malpractice that can result in devastating consequences. If you or someone you love has been harmed by an anesthesia mistake, contact the New York law firm of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. With more than 150 years of combined experience, we protect the rights of those who can't protect themselves.

- Medical Device Malfunction

We are lucky enough to live in a time when there are many FDA-approved medical devices that are designed to improve or extend our lives. However, when those medical devices malfunction, the results can be devastating. The attorneys of Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. are ready to represent you if you or a loved one has been hurt by a medical device malfunction. It is important that you contact our qualified medical malpractice attorneys today.
