Do I Have a Case?

If you have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death due to someone else's fault in causing an accident, or due to medical malpractice, a defective product or drug, police brutality or any other form of negligence, you have a right to sue for damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as past and future lost earnings, loss of support, medical bills and any other economic damages you sustain.

Immediate investigation of your case could make the difference between winning and losing. Evidence, records and witnesses can disappear, and critical evidence can be lost.
Some claims must be made within 30-days.

Call us for a free consultation as soon as you can, because time is of the essence.

What to do after an accident

Seek medical attention immediately- victims are often unaware of the extent of their injuries due to shock.

Get information identifying the person that caused the accident and any witnesses and write it down.

Take pictures (with your cell phone if necessary) to document the accident and your injuries.

Write your own account of the accident while it is fresh in your memory and list contact information for any witnesses.

Do not give any verbal or written statements to investigators or insurance companies.

Do not sign any documents offered by insurance adjusters. You could be signing away your rights to receive full compensation.

Contact the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter as soon as you can, so that we can conduct an immediate investigation and file whatever papers are needed to protect your legal rights. A prompt investigation could make the difference between winning and losing your case, so do not delay.

New York Medical Malpractice Attorney

When a patient dies or sustains injury due to negligent medical care, the physician, hospital or other health care provider may be held liable under New York's medical malpractice laws. Under these laws, all health care professionals have a legal and ethical obligation to provide safe and responsible treatment and care to their patients. In the event that a health care provider's negligent or reckless actions cause the death or serious injury of a patient, the patient and/or his or her family can sue for damages.

Medical malpractice laws and standards apply to all health care providers, including doctors, surgeons, nurses, midwives, dentists, psychiatrists, psychologists, chiropractors, podiatrists, hospitals and nursing homes. Medical malpractice can take many different forms, such as:

  • Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose illnesses or conditions
  • Negligent obstetrical or gynecological care
  • Surgical errors
  • Birth injuries
  • Medication errors
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Infections
  • Failure to perform or request necessary procedures and tests
  • Negligent interpretation of mammograms, x-rays, CT scans and MRI's
  • Failure to obtain informed consent for surgery or invasive tests
  • Failure to provide proper follow-up care 

In order to prove a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York, it must be shown that:


The health care provider responsible for the medical treatment deviated from the accepted standard of care in his or her field of medicine; and

The health care provider's negligence was a substantial factor in causing the patient's injuries or death.
