Hospital & ER Error

Standing By You when a Hospital Causes Harm

It is a sad fact that sometimes the negligence of hospital personnel – doctors, nurses, orderlies, and other employees – can result in the injury or death of innocent patients. It is our goal to represent patients and their families who may be struggling through the aftermath of serious hospital mistakes.

The Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm offers the assistance of our resident staff physician to analyze the particulars of your hospital error claim and provide advice on how best to formulate your lawsuit.

Hospital error may involve any of the following:

  • Administration of the wrong medication
  • Treatment of the wrong patient for another’s illness or injury
  • Misdiagnosis
  • A failure to obtain a patient’s informed consent to surgery or other treatment
    Issuance of an incorrect prescription
  • Any other treatment or surgical error resulting in injury, incapacitation, or death

We only assist those who were injured as a result of hospital error, not the hospitals or medical professionals involved. Therefore, you don’t have to worry that our loyalties rest with any other stakeholder but you. We pride ourselves on the quality of service we offer and provide each client with the compassionate, personal attention that they deserve.

Working with the Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm, you can be confident that not only will we work toward a favorable outcome on your behalf, you also won’t be required to pay any attorneys fees unless we recover money through a settlement or by a jury award.

Standing By You when an Emergency Room Error Occurs

Emergency room errors happen in hospitals every day.  These all-too-common mistakes can result in injury or even death to you or a loved one.

We understand that a trip to the emergency room under any circumstances is a frightening experience.  When compounded with an error that results in incorrect treatment, personal injury, or death, it becomes a nightmare.  While we cannot undo the incident, we can help you receive the monetary payments owed to you for your pain and suffering, to cover any resulting bills or funeral expenses, and any other due compensation.

New York City has some of the busiest emergency rooms in the country. Unfortunately, the hectic pace and lack of funding at some hospitals means that these same ERs are poorly staffed, offer inadequate training in triage and diagnosis, and lack all the equipment necessary for complete, sound diagnoses. Should the worst happen to you after visiting an emergency room, the Law Office of Jacob Fuchsberg is here to assist you with any claims or lawsuits that arise following personal injury due to emergency room errors.
