Medical Malpractice & Wrongful Death
When negligence causes serious injury or the loss of someone you love, you deserve an advocate who knows the defense playbook inside and out. Riki Ghosh represents patients and families across New York.
He knows the defense playbook.
At a national law firm, Riki Ghosh defended medical malpractice and professional liability cases for physicians, professionals, and major medical centers. Today he brings that insight to the plaintiff’s side, representing patients and families pursuing medical malpractice and wrongful death claims.
That perspective is a genuine advantage. He knows precisely how insurers and defense firms evaluate, prepare, and try these cases — which means he knows where they are strong, where they are vulnerable, and how to build a claim that holds up through trial.

Surgical errors and complications. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis. Birth injuries. Medication and anesthesia errors. Hospital and nursing negligence. Wrongful death arising from medical negligence. Each matter is evaluated carefully and, when taken, prepared for trial.
Both sides of the courtroom.

Medical malpractice claims in New York.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in New York?
New York has strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, and they vary by the type of case and the circumstances. Because missing a deadline can permanently bar a claim, it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible. Call 212-8000-LAW to discuss your matter confidentially.
What do I have to prove in a medical malpractice case?
Generally, you must show that a provider departed from the accepted standard of care and that the departure caused injury or death. These cases typically require expert medical testimony. A careful evaluation of the records is the first step in determining whether a viable claim exists.
How does experience defending these cases help me as a plaintiff?
