Written by seasoned trial attorneys Howard S. Hershenhorn and Marijo C. Adimey, both partners at our NYC Personal Injury Law Firm, the treatise distills decades of courtroom experience into a clear and practical roadmap for handling medical malpractice cases in New York.
Designed specifically for practicing attorneys, “New York Medical Malpractice 2026″ explains the law from both procedural and substantive perspectives. Rather than offering abstract theory, the book translates statutes, court rules, and case law into actionable guidance that reflects how medical malpractice litigation actually unfolds in New York courts. Readers are guided through every stage of a case, from initial case evaluation and pleadings to discovery, expert disclosure, motion practice, trial, and post-trial proceedings.
The 2026 edition reflects recent legal developments and emerging trends shaping medical malpractice litigation statewide. It addresses the real-world challenges attorneys face when litigating high-exposure claims against hospitals, physicians, and healthcare institutions, including evidentiary standards, expert testimony requirements, procedural deadlines, and trial strategy. Throughout, the authors emphasize strategic decision-making informed by experience, helping practitioners anticipate obstacles before they arise.
