When surgery is required to resolve medical issues or complications, you need to feel confident that your doctor will recommend and/or perform that surgery so you can begin the healing process and move forward with your life.

Failure to operate malpractice cases can be difficult, as Long Island doctors and their medical malpractice insurance companies fight to reduce liability for those incidents. A lawyer can help injured patients show the key elements of a malpractice claim.
Showing an established doctor/patient relationship is the start of a successful failure to operate malpractice case.

A lawyer could bring in medical experts who can testify about the standard of care for any given condition.
