Entrusting our health to medical professionals should inspire trust, not fear. However, when medical negligence leads to devastating consequences, it is important to hold those responsible accountable.

Client’s Case

The small bowel of our 72 year old client was perforated during hernia repair surgery.  She developed sepsis and ultimately succumbed.  We alleged that the doctor performing laparoscopic surgery failed to recognize the perforation and departed from the surgical standard of care.  The matter settled at a Westchester County Pre-Trial Conference.
At Fellows Hymowitz Rice, we work to help you with complicated situations and win fair compensation for you and your family.
