Medical Malpractice & Misdiagnosis in NY
If a health care provider makes a mistake that harms a patient, it may be considered medical malpractice. Each year, around 750,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled due to medical errors, according to Johns Hopkins.
Malpractice cases commonly involve failing to diagnose patients quickly and accurately, which can give conditions time to worsen and delay treatments.
Results we’ve secured for patients and their families include:
$3.5 Million to a patient who received an incorrect diagnosis
$2 Million for the family of a girl who passed away due to medical malpractice
$1.75 Million to a woman whose doctors failed to diagnose her ovarian cancer
$2.9 Million for a man whose misdiagnosis caused his cancer to worsen
Our firm has also secured compensation for victims of surgical malpractice, which can include incorrect operations and injuries suffered during a procedure.
At Sokolove Law, our New York malpractice lawyers can help you hold negligent health care workers accountable and seek compensation on your behalf.
New York Birth Injuries
When a medical professional’s error injures a child before, during, or shortly after birth, families may be able to file a birth injury lawsuit for compensation.
The average payout from a birth injury claim is around $1 Million, depending on your child’s condition. This money can help pay for therapies, home modifications, assistive devices, and more.
$6 Million for a child in West Hempstead who developed CP from untreated jaundice
$1.99 Million to a Brooklyn child with Erb’s palsy
$4.1 Million for a New York family affected by birth injuries

New York Disability Insurance Denials
Many insurance providers have a history of wrongfully denying claims, leaving workers without the support they need during a difficult time.
Even if a medical condition qualifies for compensation under your policy, your insurer may still deny the claim — but we’ve helped many families fight back and get the benefits they're owed.
Some of our results for clients with denied disability claims include:
$1.15 Million for a woman whose disability benefits were denied
$800,000 for a denied Unum long-term disability claim
$316,000 for a client with chronic pain from fibromyalgia and lupus
$400,000 for a long-term disability insurance denial case
If your long-term disability (LTD) claim was wrongfully denied, we may be able to help you file an appeal or take legal action against your insurance company.
At Sokolove Law, our LTD lawyers in New York have the experience and resources needed to get you the benefits you deserve.
Abuse & Neglect in New York Nursing Homes
Tragically, cases of nursing home abuse and neglect are on the rise. If you suspect your loved one isn’t being cared for properly in a residential care facility, you may be able to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit.
$1.5 Million for a woman with stage 4 bedsores from neglect
$670,000 to a client whose mother passed away from an infection
$500,000 for a New York patient with diabetes
$850,000 for a nursing home abuse victim in NY who had a heart attack
Compensation from a nursing home abuse lawsuit can help pay for medical bills, assist with funeral expenses, and provide you with the money needed to transfer your loved one to a safer facility.
“With the number of seniors expected to rise over the next decade, this neglect will likely rise unless lawyers can make it financially painful enough for these companies to have to stop.” – Ricky Leblanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law

New York Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional harm. These animals can also injure people in other ways, like by jumping up and knocking someone over.
Common injuries from dogs in New York can include:
Bruising
Emotional trauma
Fractures and broken bones
Infections
Nerve damage
Puncture wounds
Scarring
Tendon or ligament damage
Death
A dog bite lawsuit can allow you to access much-needed compensation after an unexpected injury. This money is often awarded through the dog owner's homeowners or renters insurance policy.
Car & Truck Accidents in NY
Thousands of car accidents take place throughout New York each year. These crashes can result in serious injuries, property damage, and even death.
When an accident involves a truck or commercial vehicle, the damage may be more severe due to the size and weight of these vehicles.
Victims of an auto accident may be pressured into accepting low offers from an insurance company — but our car crash attorneys can fight to get you the results you need.
Slip & Fall Accidents in New York
Slip and fall accidents can happen to anyone. Wet floors, broken stairs, uneven flooring, and cluttered walkways can all lead to unexpected injury.
When public places like parking lots, businesses, or even the outside of someone’s home aren’t properly maintained, they can become dangerous and put you at risk.
If you’ve been injured by slipping and falling in a public space, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation.
Workplace Injuries & Workers Comp in New York
Workplace injuries or illnesses can have a significant impact on an individual’s health and their ability to earn an income. In New York, employees are usually entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
However, your employer’s insurance company may try to deny your claim. They could also downplay your injury to try to avoid paying what you’re owed.
In one case, we secured $500,000 for a nurse who dislocated her ankle while trying to prevent a patient from falling.
Workers’ compensation covers anything from a strained muscle to chemical poisoning or a traumatic brain injury.
