When we visit the doctor or go to the emergency room, we expect to receive a certain level of treatment. In fact, doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers are required to uphold the accepted standard of care based on the circumstances. When they make mistakes or act wrongfully, resulting in patient injury or death, they can—and should—be held accountable.

Many of our clients come to us wondering what qualifies as medical negligence. Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers—including doctors, nurses, obstetricians, oncologists, hospitals, emergency rooms, and other individuals and facilities—fail to uphold what is known as the “standard of care.”
The standard of care is the level of acceptable treatment an ordinary, qualified healthcare provider should provide in the given circumstances. There are different standards of care in different situations; for example, emergency room doctors are held to a different standard of care than primary care physicians.
At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro we represent victims of all types of medical malpractice in New York, as well as the families of those who tragically passed away due to preventable medical errors. We understand the immense impact medical negligence has on victims and their families, and we are committed to fighting for the maximum compensation you are owed.
Common examples of medical negligence include:
Medical malpractice lawsuits are governed by a strict set of guidelines that must be met in order for your case to be considered valid. These guidelines are commonly referred to as the four elements of medical malpractice.
Proving these four elements is not always easy. It requires a law firm that has experience handling these types of cases and the resources needed to uncover what actually happened. The New York medical malpractice lawyers at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel, & Bavaro are ready to help you seek justice after an act of medical negligence.
Many acts of medical malpractice are referred to as “never events,” meaning they should simply never occur. So, how do these and other preventable medical errors occur?
The experienced medical malpractice attorneys at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel, & Bavaro conduct exhaustive investigations to identify the underlying cause of preventable medical errors, as well as who is liable for their clients’ injuries and damages.
It is important to note that you have a limited time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York. The statute of limitations on these cases is two years and six months (30 months), typically from the date the injury occurred or the date on which the underlying act of medical malpractice happened.
If the injury was not immediately discoverable, the statute of limitations may be “tolled,” or postponed, from the date on which the injury was discovered or reasonably could have been discovered.
Other exceptions may apply, but in any case, it is a good idea to take prompt action if you believe that you or someone you love may have been the victim of medical negligence. The sooner you reach out to our medical malpractice lawyers in NY, the sooner we can begin investigating your case and developing a personalized legal strategy.
