Many Medical Practitioners Come into Play and Might be Liable
When it comes to receiving medical treatment, the equivalent of a “one-man shop”, is a rarity in modern medical practice
Any number or combination of medical professionals can cause injury in the course of treating you as a patient, whether through the practitioner’s ignorance, carelessness, greed, or some other factor.
When we investigate the cause of your injuries, we will do so with a wide lens, considering the roles and actions of all the following:
- Pharmacists
- Nursing staff
- Imaging technicians
- Pharmacists
- Psychiatrists
- Psychologists
- Surgeons and surgical staff
- Lab technicians
- Anesthesiologists
- Oral surgeons
- Nurses
- Dentists
- Doctors
The entire range of medical professionals who had a hand in your treatment will fall under our lens of scrutiny. If we sense any chance of negligence, we will proceed to thoroughly investigate that party’s role in your treatment and injury. Our goal is to build a compelling case against every party that contributed to the cause of your injury.

Medical Malpractice Applies to Uniondale Hospitals and Other Facilities, Too
From the hospital where you had surgery to the strip-mall diagnostic lab that drew your blood, your treatment process was “touched” by many medical facilities and operations.
The fault for your injury could very well lie in part or whole with one of these facilities. They, too, will pass under our scope as we investigate liability for your case.
Examples of the types of facilities we will explore are:
- Clinics
- Long-term care facilities and nursing homes
- Urgent care facilities
- Emergency centers
- Hospitals
- Surgery facilities
- Imaging centers
If our research into your case yields evidence that points to one of these operations as being at fault for your injury, we will include it in the legal action we take on your behalf.

New York Law Limits the Time You Have to Pursue Legal Action for Your Case
New York’s statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have from the date that you sustained your medical malpractice injury to take legal action against the negligent parties. Additionally, the claim and litigation process have numerous other time deadlines that must be met. With everything occupying your mind in the aftermath of a medical malpractice injury, we suggest that you consult with one of our Uniondale medical malpractice lawyers to discuss how we can effectively handle your case for you.
Keep in mind that the sooner you hire legal counsel, the sooner your attorney will begin building your case with testimonies from witnesses who still have a clear recollection of the events that led to your injury.
With regard to the statute of limitations, other case time-deadlines and the best opportunity to discover and obtain potentially critical evidence, it is far better to act sooner than later. The sooner you contact us, the greater our opportunity to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
