Chiropractic Malpractice Lawyer serving the Bronx, Brooklyn, Kinston, Queens, Manhattan, Poughkeepsie, New York
Restitution for Strokes caused by Chiropractors
When people suffer strokes from vertebral artery dissection, due to chiropractic upper neck manipulations, they need an advocate to stand up for them. Chiropractors are not physicians but they still owe a duty to provide safe treatment to their patients and they must obtain the patient's permission after explaining the risks and benefits of the treatment they recommend, called "informed consent." Holding chiropractors accountable for chiropractic malpractice requires a deep knowledge and understanding of anatomy, medicine and the chiropractic practices.
At the Law Offices of Charles N. Rock in New York, we provide legal help nationwide to victims of chiropractic malpractice. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with experienced chiropractic malpractice attorney Charles Rock.
Our malpractice lawyer handles these cases on a contingency fee basis, so you will pay no fees for our services unless we bring a successful lawsuit for compensation for your chiropractic injuries.
Standing Up against the Chiropractic Industry
Chiropractors refer to their procedures as "adjustments." Most chiropractors suggest that these procedures are perfectly safe, with no risk of harm. However, too many people have found that this is not the case. The risk of serious harm, even death, has been known and published in the peer reviewed medical literature for over seventy years, yet many chiropractors refuse to explain this risk. Most stroke victims say the same thing: "I had no idea." The patient's feelings of betrayal are all the more profound when the purpose of the chiropractic treatment was only for "wellness" care.
Substantial medical evidence confirms the risk of strokes from vertebral artery dissection from neck manipulations. This harm is well known in the medical community and has been documented in the peer reviewed medical literature for nearly seventy years. None the less, many chiropractors refuse to disclose this danger.
Many chiropractors deny that the risk exists. Others contend that the risk is not significant enough to just warning their patients about them. The risk is real. We see far too many cases of strokes as a result of chiropractic treatment and we've read and collected decades of peer reviewed medical literature that proves the dangerous cause and effect.
Our chiropractic malpractice attorney believes that when a chiropractor fails to warn his or her patients about the risks of neck manipulation and fails to perform these procedures safely, they are committing malpractice. We take on the chiropractic industry and the insurance companies that protect them in each and every case. If you or a loved one has suffered a stroke after chiropractic cervical manipulation, we will evaluate you case carefully and help you rebuild your life.
Pursing Malpractice Claims for Paralysis due to Herniated Disk Injuries
In addition to stroke, chiropractic treatment also involves risk of herniated disk injuries. In particular, when chiropractic manipulations are performed on someone who already has a herniated disk, the condition can be made much worse, including paralysis.
If you believe you may have suffered a stroke or paralysis as a result of chiropractic malpractice, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss what attorney Charles Rock and our team can do to help you pursue justice.
