The law firm of Abend & Silber was featured in the New York Law Journal's Top Verdicts and Settlements for 2011 for the second year in a row. Attorney Richard Abend represented the family of a 59-year old man who died of a sudden heart attack allegedly due to his doctor's failure to diagnose and treat hypertension. Despite multiple elevated blood pressure readings and risk factors, the man was never given an EKG or referred to a cardiologist. The case settled for $1,150,000 immediately prior to jury selection. Abend & Silber is proud to seek justice for families victimized by medical malpractice.
