Complete Defense Victory: Summary Judgment Secured in Bronx Medical Malpractice Case

HPM&B Attorneys Amitisse Noohi and James Navarro recently secured complete dismissal on summary judgment in Bronx County Supreme Court on behalf of a major metropolitan medical center and a physician’s assistant.

Plaintiff claimed the defendants negligently recommended and performed a cardiac ablation procedure, allegedly resulting in an atrio-esophageal fistula that was not timely diagnosed.

Ms. Noohi and Mr. Navarro successfully established that our clients had no involvement with plaintiff’s care as it related to the pre-operative and intra-operative claims, and that their post-operative treatment fully conformed with the applicable standard of care.

Plaintiff was unable to oppose our motion and the Court found that we established our prima facie entitlement to summary judgment and appropriately dismissed all claims against our clients with prejudice.
