New York City Podiatric Malpractice Attorney
Foot disease is frequently diagnosed and treated by podiatrists, most of whom are careful and highly skilled professionals who provide excellent care. However, many of the problems they attempt to treat require attention they are not equipped or trained to provide, and in these cases, it is important to the health of the patient that the podiatrist put that patient into the care of a hospital or doctor equipped to provide the best care.
Doctors of podiatry are not generally recognized as medical doctors (MD) in the United States, but are still held to clear standards of treatment and care. When these doctors break that standard or take on problems they are ill-equipped to handle, resulting in injury or death, our attorneys at Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., can help you and your family hold them accountable.
Experienced Medical and Surgical Malpractice Representation
Mistakes or errors by podiatrists can lead to infection, permanent disability, amputation and even death. Other times, a missed diagnosis that should have been treated by a specialist or in a hospital setting can put patients at undue risk.
Our attorneys are highly experienced medical malpractice and surgical error litigators. We take on clients who have been the victim of any podiatric malpractice, including:
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Surgical error
- Improper medication
- Post-surgical infection
- Attempting to perform a procedure without proper training, experience or certification
- Failure to refer to a hospital or specialist

Our attorneys understand the pain, injury and harm that a doctor of podiatric medicine, or any physician, can do when medical mistakes hurt patients. While podiatrists can provide relief and treatment for a broad range of conditions, they are not equipped to handle every illness and must be vigilant in not over-stepping their training or experience. Contact our malpractice attorneys online or by telephone at 888-253-1221 if you or a loved one was the victim of medical malpractice involving a podiatrist.
