Medical Malpractice Lawyer in NYC

Millions of people like you go to a doctor or healthcare provider each year expecting proper care to stay in good health or improve their health. When you go to these healthcare providers, you expect to be cared for properly, but this is not always the case.  Unfortunately, doctors, surgeons, hospitals, dentists, and other healthcare providers make mistakes, and their mistakes can have a detrimental effect on you. It is estimated that around 100,000 people die each year due to medical errors and medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice occurs when the treatment a healthcare provider actually provides to you falls below an accepted standard for care in the medical community. It is a negligent act or omission committed by the healthcare provider which causes injury or death to the patient primarily due to medical error.

To prevail on a medical malpractice claim, the plaintiff must prove four elements of negligence.

  1. The plaintiff must prove that the healthcare provider owed a duty of care to the patient.
  2. The plaintiff must prove that the duty of care owed to him or her was breached because the care provided fell below an acceptable standard.
  3. The patient must prove that an injury occurred and the aforementioned breach of the duty of care the healthcare provider owed to the patient was the cause of the patient’s injury.
  4. The patient must prove that damage arose from the injury.

There are a number of errors which unfortunately may occur when you seek medical care.  These injuries include: improper medication, birth injuries, emergency room errors, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, surgery errors, etc. If you or someone you know has suffered one of these injuries or any other form of medical malpractice, it would be wise to retain an New York medical malpractice attorney experienced in litigating these types of case.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do For You

If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important for you to seek the counsel of an experienced medical malpractice attorney to stand up for your rights and advocate for you. A medical malpractice attorney can help you bring a claim to recover medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

If you are involved in a medical malpractice suit, you need access to medical experts on your side to win your case. Access to these experts can be expensive and the cases are often emotional and time consuming. You often may not be aware of which experts you need and cannot afford to pay them out of pocket. The medical professionals, however, have the medical insurance companies on their side with the goal of keeping each claim to a minimum. This is why you need an experienced medical malpractice attorney to fight for you.

If you have been a victim of medical malpractice in NYC you need to seek a medical malpractice attorney with a history of winning settlements and jury awards for clients. In fact, due to the significance of injury medical malpractice may pose on the victim, the jury award is estimated to be approximately 17 time higher in medical malpractice cases than it is for other types of negligence. An experienced New York medical malpractice attorney can help you get the settlement or jury award you deserve. If you have any questions regarding your medical treatment you should contact a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in NYC and discuss your case.
