New York Medical Malpractice Defense
The experienced trial lawyers of Thorn Gershon Tymann and Bonanni, LLP, have been involved in professional liability and medical malpractice defense since the early 1970s. Even prior to the law firm's founding, its founding partners were actively defending physicians. To date, the firm has successfully defended hundreds of physicians as well as conducted successful defense cases for hospitals in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties, including Ellis Hospital, St. Peter's Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital.
The firm takes pride in having attorneys with a thorough understanding of not only the legal, but also the medical aspects of these cases. Throughout their decades of experience, our attorneys have gained an intimate knowledge of the medical profession, surgical procedures, medical devices, diagnostic procedures and professional practices as well as the law applicable to those issues.
