Seema Palmerson and Dylan Braverman Win Pre-Action Dismissal of Wrongful Death, Gross Negligence, Malpractice and Statutory Public Health Law Claims Against Long Island Facility

Seema Palmerson and Dylan Braverman successfully secured the dismissal with prejudice of all claims brought against a major Long Island medical facility. The plaintiff’s nearly 100-page complaint asserted a litany of causes of action, including wrongful death, gross negligence, medical malpractice, and Public Health Law violations. Despite the plaintiff’s aggressive opposition and a cross-motion to strike the defense’s dismissal motion, the court ruled entirely in favor of the defense, rejecting the plaintiff’s reliance on circumstantial allegations and unrelated Department of Health findings.
