Medical Malpractice

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient injury. This negligence can take many forms, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and more. Understanding what constitutes medical malpractice is crucial to recognizing when you may have a valid claim.

Common Medical Malpractice Cases We Represent

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, we have a proven track record of handling various medical malpractice cases, including:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to correctly diagnose a condition can lead to unnecessary suffering and worsening health.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the body, can have severe consequences.
  • Medication Errors: Incorrect prescriptions, dosage errors, and administration mistakes can cause significant harm or even death.
  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth can result in life-altering injuries to both the mother and child.
  • Anesthesia Errors: Incorrect administration of anesthesia can lead to serious complications or fatalities.
  • Hospital Negligence: Inadequate care or oversight in hospitals can contribute to patient injuries.

Proving Medical Malpractice

To successfully pursue a medical malpractice claim, certain elements must be established:

  • Duty of Care: Proving that a doctor-patient relationship existed and that the healthcare provider owed a duty of care to the patient.
  • Breach of Duty: Demonstrating that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care.
  • Causation: Linking the breach of duty directly to the patient’s injury.
  • Damages: Showing that the patient suffered harm as a result of the healthcare provider’s negligence.

Our experienced attorneys are adept at navigating these complex elements to build a compelling case on your behalf.

Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice in New York

In New York, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim is generally two years and six months from the date of the incident. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving continuous treatment or the discovery of a foreign object left in the body. It is crucial to act promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal time frame.
