I lost my eyesight about eleven years ago. The doctor thought I had a sinus infection. Five spinal taps later, it was meningitis. I woke up out of a drug-induced coma, completely blind. When a hospital misdiagnoses you, something’s not right. That’s how I came to meet Lambros. I would be lost without him. When I would lose my temper, he became my therapist. When I thought things were dark and insurmountable, he became my minster. And that formed a remarkable friendship. If one life can smile and breathe better because you have lived, you’ve been a success. And he’s helped me feel successful again.
Mr. Lambrou is a phenomenal lawyer. He handled my case with absolute care and strives to achieve justice every step of the way. I highly recommend his services.

NYC medical malpractice FAQs
You can hire a top-rated New York City medical malpractice attorney without paying anything out of your own pocket. We work for our clients on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win. If we lose, you do not have to pay our legal fees.
Most healthcare providers are insured via medical malpractice insurance. When they make a medical mistake or error, patients can file a claim against the healthcare provider's medical malpractice insurance policy.
The settlement amount depends on the amount of coverage the policyholder has purchased and the covered losses included in the insurance policy.
It depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Medical malpractice generally involves medical negligence as opposed to intentional malice. Conversely, nursing home abuse is often an intentional act. However, nursing home abuse can certainly be considered a form of medical malpractice and/or medical negligence.
