Identifying Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases are complex for a number of reasons, notably the issue or proving that malpractice even occurred. The law does not allow you to sue a doctor or hospital on the basis of a poor outcome. Instead, you must prove that the medical professional or entity failed to provide an acceptable level of care, one that you could reasonably have expected to receive from another qualified medical professional or facility. Proving this often requires expert testimony from medical professionals who can attest as to the standard of care and whether or not it was breached.

Some examples of this might include:

  • A doctor who ignores a patient’s self-reported symptoms or dismisses these symptoms
  • A hospital employee who fails to carry out diagnostic tests ordered by a doctor
  • A laboratory mishandles a patient’s test, resulting in contamination and inaccurate results
  • A pharmacist misreads a doctor’s prescription and provides a patient with the wrong medication

In order to prevail, your attorney must show that the conduct of the treating doctor, hospital, or medical clinic fell below the generally accepted medical standard of care. There must be a departure by the treating doctor, hospital, or medical clinic from the accepted custom or practice that consequently caused you harm.

You must also prove that you sustained damages as a result of the negligence or misconduct. Damages could include costs associated with additional medical treatment (including revision surgery), lost income or wages from time taken off work to receive treatment and/or heal, lost future earnings if your injuries or condition is disabling, and pain and suffering, among others.

How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim in New York?

In most cases, New York medical malpractice claims must be filed within 2.5 years of the date of the incident/injury. This is notable, as the patient may not realize he or she has sustained an injury as a result of medical malpractice until much later.

There are some exceptions to this statute of limitations. For example, in the event that an object is left behind after surgery, the patient must file a medical malpractice claim within one year of the date on which the object was found or reasonably should have been found, whichever is earlier. Additionally, minors have three years from the date on which they turn 18 to file a claim as long as the alleged act occurred within the 10 years prior.

In some cases, a medical malpractice claim may fall under what is known as the “discovery rule.” Under this rule, a patient who does not realize they did not receive adequate care but continues to experience intermittent pain or issues in the proceeding weeks, months, or years may still be able to file a claim more than 2.5 years after the initial date on which he or she received substandard care. This often comes up in cases involving misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose. We can help you understand whether the discovery rule may apply to your case and can proceed to inform you of your various legal options.
