FKB’s John Gizunterman successfully obtained summary judgment and dismissal of plaintiff’s medical malpractice action against FKB clients, a New York City hospital and a physiatrist affiliated with the facility.

This action involved allegations of failure to timely diagnose infection following a craniotomy. In obtaining the dismissal FKB successfully argued that the treating provider properly cared for the patient subsequent to surgery and there was no reason to suspect infection during the course of the hospital’s treatment.
