Medical Malpractice Lawyers in New York

When Doctors and Hospitals Fail, We Step In

We place our trust in doctors, nurses, and hospitals every day. But when that trust is broken by negligence, the consequences can be devastating. Whether it’s a misdiagnosis that leads to life-threatening complications or a surgical mistake that changes everything, medical malpractice causes real harm—and the victims deserve answers.



At Isaacson, Schiowitz & Korson, LLP, we’ve been representing medical malpractice victims across New York City and Long Island for decades. We know how to take on hospitals, physicians, and their insurers—and we’ve recovered millions for clients hurt by medical negligence. If you think a medical provider’s mistake caused serious injury, don’t wait. New York typically allows just 2½ years to file a med mal claim.

Types of Medical Malpractice We Handle

Medical errors can take many forms. Our attorneys have experience with a wide range of malpractice claims, including:

Surgical Errors

Operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside a patient, anesthesia overdoses.

Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis

Failure to detect cancer, stroke, or infections in time can be fatal or cause permanent damage.

Medication & Pharmacy Mistakes

Wrong drug, incorrect dosage, or harmful interactions.

Birth Injuries

Cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or harm to the mother during labor.

Hospital Negligence

 Infections from poor sanitation, undertrained staff, lack of monitoring.

Each of these situations demands close investigation, medical records analysis, and expert review—steps our firm takes with precision.

What It Takes to Prove a Malpractice Claim

Medical malpractice lawsuits aren’t like other personal injury claims. To win, we must prove:


  • Duty: There was a doctor-patient relationship
  • Breach: The provider acted below the accepted standard of care
  • Causation: Their error directly caused harm
  • Damages: The injury led to measurable harm—like additional treatment, permanent disability, or death


These cases require input from medical experts who can explain what went wrong. Our network of trusted specialists reviews records and testifies when needed—giving your case the credibility it deserves.
