Lymphedema refers to the swelling of the arms or the legs that occurs when vessels in the lymphatic system are blocked, preventing the draining of lymph fluid. When this medical condition is caused by a surgical or medical procedural, the patient may be entitled to monetary compensation if the medical team acted in a negligent or reckless manner.
If you or someone you know is suffering from lymphedema that was caused by a surgical or medical procedure that was conducted by healthcare professionals whose actions fell below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community, call the experienced lymphedema lawsuit attorneys at Gersowitz, Libo & Korek, P.C.
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that often results from accidents, injuries and surgical procedures that cause some type of damage to the lymph system. This condition can also be the byproduct or from other medical conditions such as cancer and repeated parasitic or bacterial infections.
When the lymph vessels are compromised, regardless of what initial act caused it, it can result in swelling in the arms and/or legs. In more severe cases, lymphedema can make it extremely difficult and painful for the individual to use the affected limb. In some cases, it may also lead to the total immobilization of the limb altogether.
Lymphedema may result in the following symptoms:
Treatments of lymphedema may vary depending on how severe the condition is and what caused it. Common treatments generally include:
While the majority individuals who suffer from lymphedema generally seek compensation by filing for Social Security Disability, in certain situations these individuals may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit as well.
One of the causes of lymphedema is a surgical procedure that damages the lymph vessels or a botched surgical removal of lymph nodes. In such situations where the negligent or reckless actions of healthcare professionals ultimately resulted in the patient suffering lymphedema, the patient may be able to file a lymphedema medical malpractice lawsuit.
If you or a loved one suffers from lymphedema that was caused by a medical procedure that involved the reckless or negligent actions of healthcare professionals, you should contact the New York lymphedema lawsuit attorneys at Gersowitz, Libo & Korek, P.C. at (646) 859-1466. We have the experience and resources to hold the responsible parties liable and get you the full compensation that you deserve.

I can't possibly say enough good things about my experience with this law firm. It's difficult to imagine going through this trial without Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek and in particular, Jeff Korek. Articulate, intelligent, kind, and direct were my first impressions of him and until I saw him in the courtroom, I had no idea that these qualities would make him unstoppable at trial. In a lawsuit that spanned almost 7 years, I put myself in his hands and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Difficult at times but Jeff and his team were sensitive to those difficulties and made me understand that they would help and protect me during the process. I came to trust them implicitly. Jeff and his team not only secured my ability to pay for future medical treatments and chemotherapy, but he made sure that my children's future was secure. At Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek, they fight for you like you're family and treat you as such. Thank you, Jeff, for fighting for my future and helping me stay in the fight with you! I hope this day never comes but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for your help again.
So many times I wanted to quick and Jeff guided me on the right path. Answered all my questions, always there when I had a concerned regarding the case. Very smart and knowledgeable. I would recommend his services. I appreciate all your help. My financial future is secure for my family and I thanks to you guys.
Words alone cannot express our utmost gratitude at the comprehensive handling of my family’s case. This was a long, drawn out case that took quite some time to come to judgment. Jeff and his team were very thorough and relentless in their pursuit of justice for our family. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.
Jeff Korek has been outstanding in accomplishing a settlement of my lawsuit. He has done everything that a client would ask of his lawyer. He and his staff have always been honest, informative,and trust worthy . His reputation as a lawyer who gets the job done has truly been earned. For a personal injury lawyer I would recommend Jeff Korek without any doubt's
