New York Medication Error Lawyers

Get Proven Medical Malpractice Counsel in Your Corner

Medical professionals have always faced a challenge in consistently prescribing and dispensing the correct medications in the correct amount. Now, with shorter patient visits and a smaller medical staff, fewer people are responsible for providing drugs in less time. The result? An increased risk of injuries and wrongful death through medication errors.

At the New York City personal injury law firm of Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP, we are highly qualified for and experienced in handling medication error legal claims. We’ve recovered billions of dollars for our clients over the last 50+ years and know what it takes to secure results and peace of mind for our clients.

Our firm has handled countless malpractice claims—including dozens of medication error matters that endangered the well-being of our clients.
