Prenatal care is about protecting two lives, which is why routine screenings matter so much during pregnancy. Blood pressure checks, urine tests, and glucose testing are designed to catch conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes early, when they are often easier to manage.

When these conditions are missed or not properly treated, the consequences can include premature birth, birth defects, delivery complications, and harm to the mother's health. November is Prematurity Awareness Month, and Kerner & Kerner encourages expecting parents to keep a list of their test results and ask their provider what each one means. Remember, there is no bad question to ask your health care provider.

This Sunday, November 1, tens of thousands of runners will make their way through all five boroughs in the TCS New York City Marathon. This year's race also marks 50 years of the five-borough course, a milestone for one of New York's best-known traditions.

Originally founded in 1959 by Richard A. Kerner, we are proud to cheer on everyone taking part.

Good luck to all the runners, and thank you to the volunteers and spectators who make this day special!

Early detection can save lives, but only when warning signs are acted on. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kerner & Kerner wants patients to know that malpractice can occur when a mammogram finding is not followed up, a lump is dismissed without testing, or results never reach the patient.

Under New York's Lavern's Law, the 2 1/2 year filing deadline in cancer misdiagnosis cases generally starts when the patient discovers, or reasonably should have discovered the error, but no later than seven (7) years from the alleged negligent act or omission. Much short time limits apply to non-cancer cases. We encourage patients to ask for copies of their imaging reports and to follow up with their provider if they haven't heard back about a test.

A life is more than a paycheck. When a family loses someone they love, they lose companionship, guidance, and the everyday moments that can never be replaced. Yet New York’s wrongful death law often limits recovery to medical expenses and lost income. The Grieving Families Act aims to give families a fuller path to justice by recognizing the real, human impact of their loss.

If you believe New York families should be able to recover for the full loss of a loved one, contact your state senator and assembly member and urge them to support the Grieving Families Act.

New York’s wrongful death statute has remained largely unchanged since 1847. The Grieving Families Act offers an opportunity to bring the law in line with the vast majority of the country and recognize that the value of a life does not equate to a paycheck.

If you believe New York families should be able to recover for the full loss of a loved one, contact your state senator and assembly member and urge them to support the Grieving Families Act.
