Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, LLP

In New York, if there's a delay in diagnosing your cancer a viable lawsuit will lie if you suffered damage as a result of that delay. By that I mean if the doctors have more difficulty treating it or it's less amenable to treatment, then you have suffered a damage and a viable lawsuit does lie. Hi, my name is Arthur Blitz of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley. We have represented people who have suffered at the hands of physicians in medical malpractice. Let us help you.

Why are insurance companies such a pain to deal with?

Proner & Proner

Insurance companies are big businesses and they have share holders and owners that they have to cater to. And they are trying to make as much money as possible and they do that in part by paying out as little as possible on claims. So if an adjuster pays out less than a case is worth, that adjuster did a good job. If they hire an attorney, that is very skilled, and the accident victim has an attorney that's not so skilled, and the defense attorney for the insurance carrier wins, that's a win for the insurance company. Because the insurance company has more money in their coffers. So insurance companies try to save money by paying out as little as possible in claims. I'm Michal Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

Product liability lawsuits are David and Goliath. It's the individual who's been injured versus, generally, the large manufacturer. And they are very, very difficult claims. And a lawyer is not gonna take on these claims unless, number one, the injury is catastrophic in a product liability claim, and two, he can get an expert to review the design to show that there was defectiveness and negligence in the manufacturing and design process.

Why doesn't the FDA remove harmful drugs from the market?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

On all these matters that we are talking about, whether we are talking about fen-phen or gadolinium or any of these pharmaceuticals that are having problems in the market, the difficulty is that the FDA has a tremendous amount of staff and goes through tremendous process to decide whether something should be allowed on the market. The difficulty is that once its on the market, the FDA does not have enough staff to monitor if there are events to see if these medications should be pulled off the market. The pharmaceuticals have such power with the FDA that the consumer does really not have a fair chance. Thus, the FDA is not a real watchdog we can rely on right now. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove.
