Injured Due to Medical Malpractice?

Call an Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorney

People trust medical professionals with their health and with their lives. Errors due to negligence or lack of attention from doctors, nurses, pharmacists or the makers of medical devices can have a long-lasting negative impact on your health.

Unfortunately, medical malpractice is all too common in the U.S. In fact, medical errors now rank as the third leading cause of death nationwide. Consequently, you cannot rely on the professionals to whom you trust your health – even your life – always living up to either your expectations or to the duty of care they owe you. If you sustained an injury anywhere in the New York City area due to the negligence of one of your health care professionals or the entity for which they work, you have the right to sue both them and their employer for medical malpractice. The same holds true if you became sicker than you were before you sought their help.

Medical Malpractice Causes

Any number of things, including the following, can cause errors and therefore medical malpractice:

• Failure to diagnose, delay in diagnosis or misdiagnosis
• Failure to order the proper lab tests or failure to properly interpret those ordered
• Administration of the wrong medications
• Improper anesthesia dosage or administration
• Improper surgical technique, such as leaving a foreign object in the patient’s body
• Failure to properly monitor a patient’s post-operative recovery period
• Failure to obtain the proper informed consent to a treatment or procedure
• Failure to sufficiently communicate with other members of the health care team

What Should You Do if You Are a Medical Malpractice Victim?

If you believe someone on your health care team made an error or otherwise failed to give you proper treatment, you should question him or her as quickly as possible about what (s)he did and why (s)he did it. Also voice your concerns to the patient advocate if one exists. In addition, make sure to obtain copies of all your medical records, even if you have to pay for them yourself.

What Not to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

Keep your initial questions reasonably friendly and certainly non-accusatory. Now is not the time to accuse anyone of malpractice or rake them over the coals for what you think they may have done wrong. Remember, you are on an information-gathering hunt and you will get more information if you do not alienate the people who have the information you need. You have plenty of time to use the damaging information they give you against them.

Medical Malpractice Questions?

We Have Answers

Talk With a Personal Injury Attorney ASAP!

In New York, you have only 30 months from the date of your injury or the onset of your illness in which to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the negligent party or parties. If you fail to file within this statute of limitations period, New York law precludes you from obtaining any compensation from the responsible party or parties.

This is why it is so important that you contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as you can. He or she needs time to assess your injury or illness, review your medical records and, if necessary, conduct his or her own investigation.
