We trust healthcare professionals to provide high-quality medical care. However, errors can occur even in the most reputable institutions, leading to unexpected complications or outcomes. When medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care, it can result in severe harm or even fatal consequences for patients. Such instances of negligence are not only shocking but also devastating.
Patients may experience exacerbated health conditions, unnecessary suffering, or even tragic loss of life. While we respect the dedication of many in the medical field, it’s essential to hold those accountable who have caused harm due to negligence. If you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice in New York, it’s crucial to have a seasoned lawyer who understands the intricacies of the state’s laws. Our network of New York medical malpractice lawyers is here to guide you through the complex legal landscape, ensuring you receive the justice and compensation you rightfully deserve.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Medical malpractice, as defined by New York laws, refers to the negligence or misconduct of a healthcare professional that deviates from accepted medical standards, leading to injury or harm to a patient. This encompasses not only intentional harm but also the omission or failure to provide proper care.
Some of the most common types of medical malpractice claims we see include:
Â
Per New York law, for a claim to be considered medical malpractice, certain criteria must be met:
In New York, medical malpractice is largely defined through case law and the interpretation of legal precedents. Therefore, having an attorney who is well-versed in the ins and outs of New York medical malpractice law is essential if you find yourself or a loved one injured due to this type of negligence.
When a patient is harmed due to the negligence of a healthcare professional or institution, they are entitled to seek compensation for the damages they have sustained. In New York, victims of medical malpractice can pursue various types of damages.
Economic damages cover quantifiable monetary losses resulting from the malpractice. This category includes medical expenses (both past and future), lost wages due to time off work, and any costs related to long-term care or rehabilitation.
Non-economic damages pertain to the more intangible consequences of malpractice. They encompass pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, loss of consortium.
It’s crucial to note that New York does not cap the amount of damages that can be awarded in medical malpractice cases, allowing victims to pursue the full extent of compensation they deserve. However, the specifics of each case vary, making it essential to work with a knowledgeable attorney to accurately assess and pursue potential damages.
In New York, the terms “medical malpractice” and “medical negligence” are often used interchangeably, but there’s a subtle distinction between them. Medical malpractice refers to a situation where a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standards of practice in the medical community, causing injury to the patient. It implies that the healthcare provider was reckless or intentional in causing the harm.
On the other hand, medical negligence is a subset of malpractice and refers to unintentional harm or omission caused due to the healthcare provider’s carelessness. Essentially, while all medical malpractice includes negligence, not all instances of medical negligence rise to the level of malpractice.Â
Per New York statutes, medical malpractice victims generally have two and a half years to pursue a legal claim.
However, depending on the circumstances of your case, you might have more or less time. For example, cases involving foreign objects left in the patient’s body are subject to different timeframes, as are cases involving minors.
