Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the failure of a health care provider, usually a physician, hospital or other health care professional or institution, to give a patient treatment that meets a generally accepted standard of care as defined by the medical community, resulting in an injury to the patient.
Serious / Fatal Injuries
How do you put a price on a life-altering injury? An injured person can readily name what was lost, both tangible and intangible, and yet no amount of money can truly restore their losses. The value of a personal injury lawsuit is two-fold: 1) it ensures the injured person receives adequate funds to cover medical care and financial losses, and 2) it holds the negligent party accountable.
Motor Vehicle Accident
The Deratany Firm represents clients who have suffered personal injuries or property damage in automobile, motorcycle, truck, or bus accidents. Such motor vehicle accidents include those involving drunk or hit and run drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from motor vehicle, SUV and semi-tractor trailer collisions and rollovers.
Public Transit Accident
Public and private bus companies, taxis and other businesses offering public transportation are required to carry full liability insurance in the event of injuries to their passengers. Unfortunately, many accident victims find that trying to collect full and fair money damages for their injuries or wrongful death claims runs into stiff opposition from the public transportation entities and insurance companies.
Consumer Protection

Under New York law, distributors, retailers and wholesalers alike can be held liable for the injuries caused by a defective product. Our attorneys litigate cases involving a variety of defective products, including those having defective designs or improper warning labels.
