Fewer professionals experience the absolute trust that medical professionals often enjoy. When you entrust a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or medical specialist with your health, and they act in a way that harms you due to a lack of the appropriate level of care, they have breached a fundamental duty that they owe to you.
With this violation of duty comes a responsibility to compensate you, the patient, for the physical injury, emotional aftermath, and economic consequences of their negligence. A New Cassel personal injury lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will champion your claim for compensation to insurers and a court of law, if necessary. Our multilingual staff (English, Tamil, Kannada, Greek, Bengali, and Spanish) will be happy to assist you, and we are happy to meet with you on Long Island or elsewhere in the New York metropolitan area.
