What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence results in harm to a patient. This can include errors such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, birth injuries, or delayed treatment. These incidents can lead to devastating consequences, including long-term health complications, financial hardship, or even the loss of a loved one.

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro we understand the complexities of medical malpractice cases. Our team works tirelessly to investigate every detail, consult with medical experts, and build a strong case on your behalf. Whether you or a family member has been injured by a doctor, hospital, or other medical professional, we are here to help you seek justice and financial recovery.


Medical malpractice refers to the professional negligence of a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon that leads to the harm, injury, or death of a patient. It occurs when the healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care expected in their profession.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a healthcare provider fails to accurately diagnose a patient’s condition or takes an excessive amount of time to do so, it can lead to a worsening of the condition or the inability to treat the condition at all.
  • Surgical and Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes made during surgery can involve performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing damage to organs or nerves. A surgical error can also include the failure to administer the right dosage of anesthesia.
  • Medication Errors: Pharmaceutical malpractice can involve administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or prescribing drugs that can interact negatively with the patient’s other medications or medical conditions.
  • Birth Injuries: When nurses or the attending physician is negligent during labor or delivery, the mother and infant can suffer serious injuries such as cerebral palsy, HIE, and brachial plexus injuries.
  • Hospital Negligence: Systemic issues within a hospital setting that lead to patient harm.

Medical malpractice is not limited to these few examples. If you are not sure if your case qualifies as medical negligence, contact Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP.

Understanding Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is designed to provide compensation to individuals who have been physically or emotionally harmed due to another party’s negligence or wrongful actions. This broad legal area encompasses cases such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, defective products, and wrongful death. In New York, victims of personal injury typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, as outlined by the state’s statute of limitations. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to seek compensation.

A personal injury case typically begins with a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, gathering evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions. The process may involve filing a claim, negotiating a settlement, or proceeding to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached. At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro our attorneys guide clients through every stage of this process, ensuring their rights are protected and pursuing the best possible outcome for their case.

This includes a wide range of incidents, such as:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Including car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents caused by negligent drivers.
  • Premises Liability Cases: Such as slip and falls, inadequate security, or hazardous property conditions.
  • Workplace Injuries: Including construction site accidents and injuries caused by unsafe working conditions.
  • Defective Products: Injuries resulting from faulty products or inadequate warnings.
  • Wrongful Death: Legal claims filed on behalf of families who have lost loved ones due to another’s negligence.

Victims of personal injury often face not only physical pain but also significant emotional and financial challenges, including costly medical bills, lost income, and the strain of recovery. These cases require skilled legal representation to secure the compensation needed to cover these damages and hold negligent parties accountable.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro,are dedicated to helping victims navigate the legal system. We understand that no two cases are alike, which is why we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each client. From filing claims to negotiating settlements or litigating in court, we are with you every step of the way.
