    Serving Victims of Medical Error

    During our most vulnerable moments, we entrust doctors, nurses, and other medical staff with our lives.

You need an experienced medical malpractice attorney that will help you get the maximum compensation available in your case.

We understand how difficult this time can be for you and your family. Let our leading medical malpractice lawyers get you the help you need and the recovery you deserve.

    What Is a Medical Malpractice Case?

    Medical malpractice occurs when a health professional causes injury to a patient by failing to provide an adequate standard of care. If the substandard treatment results in an injury, then the medical provider or their employer may be held liable for damages.

    You should not have to suffer because of someone else’s mistake or wrongdoing. You deserve compensation for your injuries. Our lawyers are staunch advocates for our clients and their families. We are skilled trial attorneys who are proud to serve our community. Contact our office today to discuss your legal options and get a no-obligation, free case evaluation.

    Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

    Our attorneys handle all forms of medical malpractice claims, including:

    Birth Injury Cases

    A person may bring a lawsuit for a birth injury claim when any harm results from a medical provider’s negligence or omission during labor and delivery. This can include damage caused by fetal oxygen deprivation, failure to order an emergency C-Section, use of force during delivery, inadequate monitoring, and failure to diagnose infections or dangerous medical conditions.

    Cerebral Palsy

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. When cerebral palsy is caused by a health care professional’s negligence or failure to provide adequate care, they can be held liable for damages.

    Surgical Errors

    Surgical mistakes can cause unimaginable pain and suffering to a patient. Some of the most common surgical errors resulting in lawsuits are when a doctor operates on the wrong body part, performs unnecessary surgery, leaves a foreign object or piece of surgical equipment in the body, or when surgery results in an infection.

    Wrongful Death

    When a health care professional’s negligence causes the death of a loved one, you deserve compensation. If your loved one died unexpectedly under the care of a doctor or hospital, you need to contact a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer.

    Failure to Diagnose

    A misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose can result in lifelong complications and incorrect treatment. When injury or illness occurs because of a doctor’s failure to diagnose, you may be able to receive compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit.

    Medical Malpractice Compensation

    If you have suffered damages as a result of a healthcare professional’s medical error, you may be entitled to recovery. Our White Plains medical malpractice lawyers will fight hard to get you the maximum compensation available to you. We have recovered millions on behalf of victims throughout New York and will work tirelessly on your behalf.

      Despite the reason for hiring them, I fell and broke my wrist, this was a very supportive and believe it or not great experience. I felt cared about and was always kept informed of the process. I highly recommend them. Great people.

      My experience with Denlea & Carton was exceptional, and a huge part of that was due to Alejandra, their paralegal. She was absolutely wonderful – so caring and compassionate throughout the entire process. Beyond just being professional, Alejandra became like a sister to me. Her consistent communication and genuine support made a difficult time much easier. I am incredibly grateful to have her on my side. Thank you!

      I’ve heard many lawyers advertise on tv that they can recover more money than what the insurance company initially offers, but how many of them actually do! Fortunately for me, I chose Denlea & Carton based on their lawyers’ backgrounds and experience, and not on some catchy jingle or flashy tv ad. I’m glad I did. I was offered $35,000 for my slip and fall case, but I ultimately recovered $350,000—ten times the amount the insurance carrier proposed. Thank you Denlea & Carton for a job well done!

      Mis abogados fueron increíbles. Desempeñaron un papel crucial para ayudarme a comprender las acciones de mis médicos y explicaron de manera efectiva cómo se transmitiría mi tratamiento a un jurado. Esta información fue invaluable para ilustrar cómo se presentaría mi caso en la corte, lo que me dio confianza en el proceso. Estuve muy contento de trabajar con ellos.

      I had no idea how ruthless the insurance companies and defense lawyers would be after my car accident. My attorneys at Denlea & Carton were my champions. They took the time to explain the process from the very beginning, and were by my side every step of the way. Having them fight for me, and help me to explain the feelings I was struggling to express, was life changing. I am forever grateful for their compassion, help and toughness.

      Just a quick shout out to my paralegal, Allie, who helped me more than she knows. Allie was present during my Independent Medical Examination (IME). In the weeks prior, my attorney had prepared me extensively for this assessment. Feeling more confident on the day of the exam, and knowing I wasn't alone, was reassuring. The case was settled shortly after, but it was the constant support from my legal team that I will never forget.
