New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer
As Americans, we have been conditioned to hold our doctors, surgeons and other medical professionals to the highest standards. Nassau County and the New York City metro area are world-renowned for their hospitals and medical care. And yet, not everything always goes right.
Medical mistakes are among the leading causes of nonaccidental deaths in America. Either because of misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, surgical errors or hospital staff mistakes, many thousands of people are injured every year by the very medical provider they trust most.
Recognizing Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the result of harm under the care of a medical professional. This can involve a variety of errors, including misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors or failure to provide appropriate treatment. Not every hospital injury qualifies as medical malpractice, however. For there to be a valid claim, there need to be four elements present in the situation surrounding the injury: there needs to be a duty of care owed by the medical professional to the patient, a violation of the standard of care, the harm caused by that violation, and the damages caused by that harm. The repercussions of medical malpractice can be devastating, affecting not only the victim’s health but also their financial stability and emotional well-being. Victims often face extended medical treatments, loss of income and a diminished quality of life. It’s crucial for patients to understand their rights and seek legal advice if they suspect malpractice has occurred.

The legal process for a medical malpractice claim typically begins with a thorough investigation by a qualified attorney who specializes in this area. After we have collected evidence and consulted with medical experts, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf. Next, there is a discovery phase where both sides exchange any information relevant to the claim. There may be negotiations to settle things outside of court, or it will go to trial, where a jury will decide the results.
