When doctors or hospitals make mistakes, patients pay the price. We hold medical professionals accountable for their negligence.
Standing up for victims of medical errors
Medical professionals hold our trust every time we step into a hospital, clinic, or nursing home. But when that trust is broken and a provider’s mistake causes harm, the consequences can be life-altering. At Mason Law PLLC, our New York medical malpractice lawyer helps patients and families pursue justice when negligence leads to injury or death. From Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn, we provide experienced and compassionate representation for malpractice victims.
Types of medical malpractice cases we handle
Medical malpractice takes many forms. Mason Law PLLC represents clients in cases such as:
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis – when a provider fails to recognize or treat a condition in time, such as cancer or stroke.
- Surgical errors – wrong-site surgery, anesthesia mistakes, or foreign objects left behind.
- Medication errors – incorrect prescriptions, dosage mistakes, or pharmacy negligence.
- Birth injuries – preventable harm to newborns or mothers during delivery.
- Hospital negligence – systemic failures such as infections from poor hygiene or understaffing.
- Nursing home negligence – when residents suffer harm due to medical errors or neglect in care facilities.
Each case type requires close review of medical records and expert testimony to prove negligence.

Why malpractice cases are different
Medical malpractice cases in New York are among the most complex in civil law. They require:
- Expert medical testimony to establish the accepted standard of care.
- Specialized legal filings, including a certificate of merit from the attorney.
- Careful preparation to face aggressive defense teams from hospitals and insurers.
Our approach to malpractice claims
We begin by gathering complete medical records, consulting independent specialists, and identifying where the provider deviated from the standard of care. Mason Law PLLC then develops a strategy tailored to each client’s injuries, whether that means negotiating a settlement or preparing for trial. Throughout the process, we treat every client with empathy, recognizing the physical, emotional, and financial strain caused by medical negligence.

FAQs about medical malpractice
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Not every bad outcome is malpractice. It must be shown that the provider’s error caused measurable harm. Mason Law PLLC reviews records with medical experts to make this determination.
How long do I have to sue for medical malpractice in New York?
Generally, you have 2 years and 6 months (30 months) from the malpractice or from the end of continuous treatment. Certain exceptions apply, such as delayed discovery in cancer cases.
Can I sue a hospital for a doctor’s mistake?
Yes, if the doctor was an employee of the hospital or if the hospital itself was negligent. We carefully investigate to identify every responsible party.
What damages are recoverable in malpractice cases?
Compensation may cover medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages if the conduct was reckless.
How do legal fees work in malpractice cases?
Most are handled on a contingency fee basis—meaning no fee unless we recover compensation for you. All terms are explained up front.
