Representing Victims of Negligent Doctors
Doctors and other medical practitioners are highly trained in both the procedures they perform and the ethics of their profession. When they fail in their responsibilities to their patients, they can be held legally accountable for those failures.

Understanding the Importance of Accountability
Attorney Charles Rock comes from a family of doctors and began his career working for a large medical malpractice defense firm. He quickly learned that not all patients receive the same level of care he was accustomed to seeing and became an advocate for injured patients.
There are several types of medical negligence that can cause serious, long-term injuries and even death. Among the most common are:
- Traumatic birth injuries
- Administration of dangerous drugs
- Failure to diagnose cancer or delay in diagnosing it
- Laparoscopic and other surgical errors
If you believe you may have suffered medical malpractice, it is important to contact a lawyer right away. Due to doctors' lobbying efforts, medical malpractice cases have the shortest statute of limitations under New York law.
Your case will need to be filed within two and a half years of the act of negligence or the last day of continuous treatment for the same condition. When it is filed, we will need to include an expert opinion from a doctor confirming that malpractice took place.
Ready to Be Your Advocate in the Courtroom
In medical malpractice cases — even more so than in other personal injury cases — it is necessary to be prepared to go to trial. In order to settle a medical malpractice case with an insurance company, you will need to get the doctor's consent, which is very difficult.
Attorney Charles Rock has extensive experience seeking justice for the victims of medical malpractice in front of juries. Our team will vigorously prepare your case for trial.
Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss what we can do to help you pursue accountability and fair compensation from the doctor or other medical provider who injured you.
