New York Unnecessary Hysterectomy lawyer

Manhattan Medical Malpractice attorney

Hysterectomies are common amongst women in the United States. A hysterectomy can serve as effective means to overcome challenges women face with life-threatening uterine bleeding or cervical cancer. However, this permanent decision also takes away a woman's ability to build a family through natural means, and may cause her to have feelings of inadequacy as a woman. Feelings of loss are normal amongst women who have undergone a hysterectomy. However, words cannot describe what a woman goes through when she discovers that the surgery was unnecessary.

As women, our attorneys understand the intense emotions women may endure after a hysterectomy. At Kramer & Dunleavy, LLP, we offer experienced legal guidance to women who feel their hysterectomy was an unnecessary surgery. Our experience in complex medical malpractice cases in New York enables us to pursue answers, justice, and results.

In many situations, a doctor's decision to perform a hysterectomy, or a patient's decision to consent to the surgery, is a life-saving decision. But when the permanent decision to remove the uterus or ovaries is made as a result of medical malpractice the doctor or medical providers involved may be held financially liable for their medical negligence, such as:

• Failure to explain medical condition adequately to the patient
• Failure to advise of treatment alternatives to surgical intervention
• Failure to obtain consent to the procedure when alternatives were available (in emergency situations)
• Misdiagnosis of cervical cancer or ovarian cancer
• Other medical negligence that contributed to an unnecessary hysterectomy

As seasoned medical malpractice attorneys, we pursue full financial recovery for your losses, including your medical bills related to the surgery and related medical care, as well as the emotional damage you have endured and continue to endure - from knowing that you are no longer capable of bearing children to being subjected to hormone replacement therapy or the potential for premature menopause. We are here to help you deal with these issues and obtain peace of mind in a medical malpractice lawsuit.
