Our Past Medical Malpractice Cases

Our firm represents and defends a number of New York Metropolitan Area hospitals as well as physicians in a multitude of specialty practice areas. O’Connor McGuinness Conte Doyle Oleson Watson & Loftus, LLP has focused its medical malpractice defense division shortly after the firm’s founding in 1945 and is now widely considered to have one of the oldest medical malpractice defense divisions in the New York area.

Our firm has successfully defended clients in a wide range of claims including the following:

• Alleged surgical errors, birth injuries, including Erbs Palsy and Cerebral Palsy
• Brain damage
• Failure to diagnose cancer
• Nursing home neglect, including bedsores, wound care and falls
• Orthopedic errors
• OB/GYN practice
• Ophthalmological care, including eye surgery, cataract and LASIK surgery
• Reconstructive procedures
• Dangerous drugs, herbal supplements and performance-enhancing drugs
• Professional misconduct
  

In any allegation of medical error, our attorneys retain experts to review the medical record and determine whether there is any basis for the claim. Often, on careful examination of the record, the facts will reveal that the alleged malpractice was one of the known risks of surgery that the patient was warned about and agreed to assume by way of signing an informed consent form.

O’Connor McGuinness aggressively defends physicians who perform within the applicable standard of care.
