Medication Errors

Queens Medication Error Attorney

Medication Errors Are Completely Preventable

Medication will only work if it is administered in the right dose for the right condition. It should not be given to a patient with a known allergy or to a patient who is taking another medication that would violently react to the new one.

Even the timing and taking medicine with or without food may impact its effectiveness and whether a patient experiences an adverse reaction. For these reasons, medication errors can cause serious harm or the wrongful death of a patient.

If you were injured or lost someone you love due to a medication error, you may be able to bring the responsible party to justice. Medication errors are preventable and can be traced back to some form of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of a healthcare professional.

Queens medication error attorney David Kates has been practicing law for over 20 years and can offer the guidance you need. Known for his tenacious and thorough approach, he builds every case as though it were going to trial. He stops at nothing to pursue maximum compensation for his injured clients.

    “David Kates knew every single detail of my extremely complicated medical malpractice case.”
    I made the best choice when I decided to go with David Kates as my attorney. I waited 7 years to finally have the opportunity to tell my story to a jury and he truly put his heart and soul into my case. He was up against another top-notch lawyer at my trial. He was very impressive in the courtroom and he also spent an enormous amount of time before trial preparing. He knew every single detail of my extremely complicated medical malpractice case. He exceeded my expectations and I was truly blown away after watching him at trial. It was a very emotional time for me and he was so supportive. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

He is very good at what he does and has lots of proven experience as evidence. I felt supported every step of the way working with David even when it came to talking about some of the more difficult stuff. He's a great advocate and I'm grateful to have had him on my side.

    “Working with David as my personal injury lawyer was more than I could have asked for.”
    Working with David as my personal injury lawyer was more than I could have asked for. Upon meeting David, he took the time to sit and listen to my story, heard my concerns, and walked me through the process of what to expect, and he thoroughly prepared me for all matters involved. He is empathetic, professional, and tough when necessary. I'm so thankful for his tenacity with my trial, and for never backing down when I sometimes felt all hope was lost - David never let me lose sight of the bigger picture, ever! Thank you, David... you truly were remarkable.
