Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.
I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything
Michael Ranzenhofer was very professional in dealing with my case. He always responded to calls in a timely manner. He was very thorough in handling my case. I would definitely use him again if I needed legal representation, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
I was hit head on in a car accident and had got injured. I contacted Mike Ranzenhofer and he got started the process of getting money for me for my pain and suffering and future medical bills. Every time I called or came to his office he always took his time to help me. And we eventually won the case. He is an amazing lawyer and person himself and I would fully recommend him to anyone.
First, it’s very important to make sure you’ve documented exactly what happened with your accident or injury. The date, the time, the names and addresses of those involved, as well as details of what happened are critical components that you’ll need as you try to work through the problems you’re having. If you’ve been in a car accident, we already have a checklist you can use. You can see the checklist at our Car Accident Checklist page.
Secondly, you really should contact an Injury Attorney in Buffalo as soon as possible….because the other party’s Insurance Company is probably already working behind the scenes…and preparing to defend its client.
Contacting an accident attorney is really very simple – and for your case, it’s a Free Consultation. I’ll provide the accident and injury help you need by spending time reviewing the facts with you to be able to tell you what possible remedies you have and make suggestions on how to proceed.
Our Buffalo medical malpractice lawyers have years of experience representing victims and understand the critical steps required to ensure fair representation in bringing a malpractice claim.
Serious injuries from medical malpractice can arise in various circumstances, including:
New York medical malpractice (or medical negligence) occurs when a doctor, health care professional, hospital or other health care facility fails to care for someone in accordance with the accepted standards of the medical profession and the person is injured, dies, becomes ill or their condition or illness worsens as a result.
What proof do I need for a NY medical malpractice case?
In order to win a medical malpractice case, you will need to prove that: you were under the care of a physician; in the course of advising you, diagnosing you, or treating you, the physician failed to act as a doctor in the specialty should act; and as a result you were injured, became ill, or a condition or injury worsened.
You will need expert witnesses to prove your arguments. An expert witness is someone, usually another doctor or healthcare professional, with special knowledge about the specific issue in your case. The expert can offer an opinion on what the professional standards of the medical community are and whether your doctor/healthcare professional’s conduct breached them.
When are expert witnesses not needed in NY Medical malpractice cases?
There is a doctrine in law known as “res ipsa loquitur.” That is Latin meaning, “The thing speaks for itself.” There are certain medical malpractice injuries that cannot have occurred but for the negligence of the doctor. For example:
In res ipsa cases, you may not need an expert to prove your case. Rather, your lawyer will seek to prove that:
1. Improper treatment:
2. Injury during birth (to mother or child):
3. Prescription errors:
4. Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis:
5. Failure to monitor:
6. Surgical errors:
7. Failure to inform of the risks of a specific procedure:
