We will not allow the insurance company to give you less than everything that you and your child are entitled to receive.

New York’s Medical Indemnity Fund for Neurologically Impaired Newborns

In 2011, the Medical Indemnity Fund for Neurologically Impaired Newborns was established by the New York state legislature. If medical negligence is the reason for your newborn’s birth injury, you may be eligible if Medicaid covers you. The fund is intended to cover the cost of current and future medical expenses, medications, therapy and necessary home and vehicle modifications.

You still have the right to sue, and it may be in your best interest to work with an experienced Bronx medical malpractice lawyer. At the law firm of James Newman, P.C., we help you file your lawsuit and represent you through the process. Once resolved, we help you recover compensation available from the Medical Indemnity Fund.
