MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
FIGHTING FOR THE INJURED ACROSS NYC
WHEN A DOCTOR’S MISTAKE CHANGES YOUR LIFE, WE HELP PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST.
Doctors and healthcare providers are entrusted with our lives. When that trust is broken by negligence or medical error, the consequences can be devastating. At Luis Guerrero Law, we represent patients and families throughout New York City—including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and surrounding counties—who’ve suffered serious harm due to medical malpractice or birth injuries.
These are not simple cases—but we don’t back down from complex challenges. We build strong, strategic cases against hospitals, physicians, and medical defense teams to protect our clients’ rights and futures

WHY THESE CASES MATTER
Medical errors are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States—yet many families never know they have a claim. Hospitals may offer vague explanations, or no explanation at all. That’s why you need someone in your corner who understands the law and the medicine—and who’s committed to uncovering the truth.
When you hire Luis, you get more than a lawyer. You get a protector. A strategist. An advocate who treats your family’s pain like it’s personal—and fights to make it right.
