New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer Adnan Munawar Comments on Potential High-Profile Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Melissa Rivers, the daughter of late, famous comedian Joan Rivers, is exploring her options with regards to suing her mother's doctors, according to The New York Daily News (Millions Could Be At Stake if Melissa Rivers Sues Doctors For Negligence in Joan Rivers' Death: Lawyer, November 4, 2014). Ms. Rivers' case is atypical of someone her age, the report says, because most 81-year-olds are not usually working to the extent that Ms. Rivers was, who reportedly was still enjoying a substantial income.

Ms. Rivers died after undergoing a procedure at the Yorkville Endoscopy Center on her throat. Ms. Rivers went into cardiac arrest during the procedure and doctors were unable to save her. The family's attorney is waiting to closely examine the findings of the medical examiner's office, with more testing also planned. Among the possible causes of Mrs. Rivers' cardiac arrest, the report listed coronary artery disease or anesthesiologist drugs. The report would also shed light on the amount of time Ms. Rivers' brain was deprived of oxygen, which helps to determine how fast clinical staff reacted to her distress.

Adnan Munawar, Partner at Munawar & Andrews-Santillo LLP, released a statement of his own on the potential celebrity suit, "It's not every day gossip surrounding the prospect of a lawsuit generates so much interest. Ms. Rivers and her attorneys are wisely taking their time to get all the facts they can before they move forward with any legal action. Given the amount of publicity this case is already generating, they are smart to make sure they get everything right."

"That all being said, what people should notice is that while Ms. Rivers and her attorneys are taking their time to make a decision with regards to filing a claim, they did not waste any time starting to gather information and putting themselves in the best possible position. This case shows how important it is to have an expert with you from the beginning to guide you every step of the way and ensure that whatever action you ultimately take is done properly and accurately. And it's not just the rich and famous who can afford an attorney—you can consult with a lawyer for free, and you only ever pay a dime if your claim is successful, so anyone can truly afford representation.
