Trevett Cristo Salzer & Andolina P.C. has extensive experience and success in prosecuting medical malpractice claims for people injured because of negligence on the part of a medical professional or health care provider. Because of the complexity of the evidence in cases involving medical negligence, these matters are often extremely difficult to investigate and prepare. Throughout Upstate New York, therefore, there are very few litigation firms that are willing to take on the responsibility and commitment required in a medical malpractice case. Trevett Cristo accepts these cases only after careful review. Our success in this area is why we are listed in the Upstate New York edition of Super Lawyers in the category of plaintiff's medical malpractice.
