Proving Medical Negligence for Nearly Three Decades
Doctors don't have all the answers. What they do have is a set of protocols (which when strictly followed give the patient the best chance for a correct diagnosis, proper treatment and a positive outcome). Unfortunately, all too often physicians and nurses deviate from those standards. When that occurs, they increase the risk of bad outcomes.
I am Robert Cherofsky, a medical malpractice attorney serving clients in New York since 1981. I have secured millions of dollars for clients in holding medical professionals and hospitals accountable for misguided decisions and errors in care.
Contact me immediately if you suspect that negligence may be responsible for a family member's or friend's serious injury, untreated illness or death, or if you have been the victim of medical negligence. There may be a looming deadline to file a lawsuit, and early investigation always improves the odds of recovering damages.

- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Hospital malpractice — Negligence of nurses, technicians, radiologists
About Medical Malpractice
There is a high burden on the victim to prove that doctors should have done more or could have prevented a mistake. In New York, every lawsuit must be certified by a medical expert in the same field. Sometimes several expert witnesses are needed to prove the departure from accepted medical practices.
The Law Office of Robert Cherofsky advances the costs of litigation and does not recoup those expenses or take attorney fees unless I recover compensation for you. I reach settlement in the majority of my cases by submitting reasonable and fully documented demands. In addition, I am a veteran trial lawyer who has won substantial jury awards.
