If you or a loved one were harmed by medical negligence in Brooklyn, call Cellino Law today for a free, confidential case evaluation. No fees unless we win.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or death to the patient. In Brooklyn’s fast-paced healthcare system, home to major institutions like NYU Langone Hospital, Brooklyn, Maimonides Medical Center, and The Brooklyn Hospital Center, mistakes can and do happen. But when those mistakes stem from negligence, it’s more than an error. It’s a legal injury.
Our Brooklyn, NY medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors or pharmacy negligence
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Failure to monitor or respond to complications
- Hospital-acquired infections
- Nursing negligence or poor post-op care
If you suspect something went wrong during medical treatment and the outcome was worse than it should have been, speak to an attorney immediately. You may only have 2.5 years from the date of malpractice to file a claim under New York law, and some exceptions shorten that window even more.
Common Medical Malpractice Scenarios in Brooklyn
In a borough with over 2.7 million people and some of the busiest ERs and clinics in the country, medical mistakes can be deadly. Some real-life examples we’ve handled or seen include:
- A patient discharged from a Brooklyn hospital with signs of stroke, only to suffer permanent brain damage hours later
- A newborn suffering from cerebral palsy due to a delayed C-section during delivery
- A surgical instrument left inside a patient’s abdomen after a routine procedure
- A cancer diagnosis missed because a radiologist failed to flag a visible mass
- A fatal allergic reaction caused by a nurse administering the wrong drug
Every one of these errors was preventable. And each of these victims had the legal right to hold someone accountable, with the help of experienced medical malpractice attorneys.
Who Can Be Sued for Medical Malpractice in Brooklyn?
Cellino Law investigates and builds claims against all responsible parties, which may include:
- Physicians (primary care, specialists, surgeons)
- Nurses and nurse practitioners
- Hospitals and hospital systems
- Emergency rooms and urgent care clinics
- Anesthesiologists
- Radiologists
- Pharmacists
- OB-GYNs and labor/delivery teams
In New York, even municipal hospitals like NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County can be sued, but strict notice requirements apply. You may have as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim in public hospital cases. We can help you move quickly and protect your rights.
What Damages Can You Recover in a Brooklyn Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
A successful claim can secure compensation for:
- Medical bills (including future care or revision surgeries)
- Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disability or permanent injury
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one died)
Our Brooklyn, NY medical malpractice lawyers work with medical experts, economists, and life-care planners to value your case accurately. Hospitals and insurers may offer a quick payout, but it’s rarely enough. We fight for what your recovery is truly worth.
How Cellino Law Builds a Winning Malpractice Case
Unlike ordinary injury claims, malpractice lawsuits require medical expert testimony to even reach a courtroom. That means you need a legal team with:
- A network of credentialed, respected medical experts
- Access to your full treatment records, charts, and diagnostic tests
- Experience cross-examining hospital staff and physician witnesses
- Knowledge of state and federal medical regulations
Cellino Law brings all of this, and more, to every case. We handle every legal and investigative detail so you can focus on healing.
Signs You May Have a Malpractice Case
Not every poor medical outcome is malpractice, but many are. If you experienced any of the following, you should speak with a lawyer:
- Your condition worsened significantly after treatment
- Your doctor dismissed or ignored your symptoms
- You were discharged too soon or misdiagnosed
- A loved one died unexpectedly during or after a hospital stay
- You were not informed of the risks of a treatment or surgery
- You suspect a medication or surgical error
You don’t need to be certain malpractice occurred. That’s our job. If something feels off, call Cellino Law and let us investigate.
