You may have such a case. Our goal is to make a difference.  That means recovering money damages for our clients to try to restore what was lost as a result of medical negligence. 

Importantly, it also means changing the way medicine is practiced, and achieving systemic changes,  so that what happened to you won’t happen again to someone else.  We believe this is a crucial part of justice.  And we believe each of our cases has the potential to bring about essential change.

Susan Dennehy is a leading medical malpractice attorney in New York City. Her firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars for patients who endured botched surgeries, undiagnosed infections, missed cancer, and for families who suffered the loss of a loved one through medical mistreatment.
