At GLK, we have over 39 years of experience handling some of the most complex and challenging medical malpractice claims across New York and New Jersey. In fact, our attorneys have secured hundreds of millions in settlements and verdicts with cases referred to our firm by other attorneys.
There are many reasons why you may want to refer us a medical malpractice case. - Cost: Pursuing a medical malpractice claim can be very costly in the best of circumstances. These cases often require a great deal of discovery and the use of doctors and other medical experts.
- Lack of Expertise: Clients deserve counsel that can give them the best opportunity to win. Many of our referrals come from attorneys who may not practice personal injury law or who have no expertise in handling medical malpractice claims.
- Lack Of License: A referring attorney may not be licensed in the state where a case would need to be litigated.
- Risk Mitigation: Referring a medical malpractice claim can be a great way for an attorney to mitigate the professional and financial risk that can come with handling a case. The referring attorney can get a referral fee without being burdened by fronting the cost of a claim.
- Overwhelming Caseload: In many situations, an attorney may not have the time to dedicate to pursuing a medical malpractice claim to conclusion.

Wrongful Death Due to Falling Tree Branch in New Jersey Park
A 3-year-old toddler died after being struck by a 20-foot tree limb while camping at camp grounds located in New Jersey. Defendants denied responsibility, arguing that the tree limb fell as an “act of god” and they had no notice of the condition of the tree. Gersowitz, Libo & Korek P.C., retained one of the foremost tree experts in the State, who opined that the camp grounds failed to have a formal tree risk assessment program throughout its campsite and that the subject tree showed visible signs of decay. A multimillion dollar settlement was achieved on behalf of the family for their emotional pain in witnessing this horrific accident, as well as for the tragic death of their child. The case was handled by partner Michael Fruhling of our Englewood , NJ office. |

A settlement in excess of 6 million dollars was reached for an undocumented New Jersey construction worker who was not wearing his safety harness, when he fell 4 stories as a result of a defective scaffold. The construction worker, who had immigrated to New Jersey, suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple spinal, chest, and facial fractures that required surgical intervention. |
| | Wrongful Death from Severe Burns in a NY State Psychiatric Facility
Wrongful Death – Pain and Suffering: An inpatient resident of a New York State owned psychiatric facility in Bronx, New York was caused to be set on fire by a cigarette lighter she brought back into her room, which is considered contraband that was prohibited from possessing on her person or in her room. As a result of the fire, she suffered burns to over half of her total body surface area and underwent several surgeries requiring skin grafting and debridement, which ultimately resulted in her death over five months later. Her sisters were appointed administrators of the estate while Defendants denied responsibility and blamed the patient for lighting herself on fire. After obtaining surveillance videos and deposing all of the employees involved in the patient’s care, the case settled for $2,000,000 while conducting a pre-trial conference in the Court of Claims. |
